NOTE: Given the current public health crisis, check current travel restrictions before making any plans. If you have to wait, don't worry. All of these hikes are also great in summer and fall (except the winter walks).
Easter break is a tricky time to hike in Switzerland because in early April, most mountain areas are either still open for skiing or closed waiting to reopen for summer hiking in June. But don't worry! I've got some early spring hiking ideas for you, including winter walks if there's still snow.
I have included suggestions for the most popular regions, which may appeal to those traveling to Switzerland or for locals hosting visitors during Easter break.
