You'll still discover it on foot (because, after all, that's the best way to experience the mountains), but the hikes are easy, with cable cars, gondolas, and cog trains making short work of the hard ascents and descents. This allows you more time to explore the towns and villages and soak up the alpine atmosphere of this very special corner of the world. The mountain flowers, fresh clean air, spectacular views, and the exhilarating hikes will be far more rewarding than you'd ever expect.
