Take your adventure to new heights! Though that's the intriguing title of a new Virtuoso advertising piece, Switzerland is one of the best summer vacation destinations in the world. Clean, warm, and dry summer days and gorgeous scenery are ideal for spending time outdoors. You and your children can spend your days hiking and exploring nature, far from the maddening rush of the city.

1. Hike the high altitude trail to Morcote on San Salvatore mountain, passing by chestnut forests and the picturesque Lake Lugano.

2. Enjoy sweeping rooftop views of Zurich’s historic churches and romantic Old Town, all the way to the Alps from your spot atop the city’s iconic Linderhof.

3. Have a soak in St. Moritz’s natural hot springs which boast a wealth of healing minerals.

4. Discover the nearly 40 museums in Basel such as the Fondation Beyeler featuring works from Monet, Cézanne and Van Gogh.

5. Unwind under the century-old trees in Lugano’s Parco Ciani, a place where locals and travelers alike enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
