My husband and I are planning our first trip to Switzerland this fall and I'm trying to figure out the best hike. I've heard that Heuberg Loop has fantastic views throughout. The problem is I've also heard it is not for those with extreme fears of heights - but no one has really expounded as to why.
My husband and I love hiking and usually hike the mountains in Virginia for some good views and scramblers. This doesn't bother him. What does bother him is being on the edge with, what he sees, as weak support. For instance, the viewing bridge at Neuschwanstein Castle - he did cross it, but he HATED it. He almost had a panic attack when it was crowded and he couldn't get off the bridge. (And because it was bouncing a little). He has gone up both the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building with me...but plastered himself to the inner wall of both. Don't think I force him into these things - he WANTS to do them. It just scares the living soul out of him.
However, when I told him what was said about the loop trail, he was concerned. I don't want to hike for 2 hour and get to a point where he can't cross because it's on the edge of a cliff or something. But if it is well supported and he's not right in the edge, he'll be okay. Can anyone provide any insight on this??
Also, would you suggest any other hikes or even places to visit that provide the best views of the Alps?
