Historic traffic routes
With its Inventory of Swiss Historic Traffic Routes, the Federal Roads Office (FRO) commands comprehensive information on the history of traffic in Switzerland. Several particularly interesting examples from this inventory, on or near the Hiking in Switzerland routes, are integrated as information from SwitzerlandMobility and linked to the inventory via the website. An ideal opportunity to delve into an all-embracing inventory of historic routes and to trace the footsteps of our forefathers.

Cultural information
Eight Hiking in Switzerland routes are Via routes and with the exception of ViaAlpina are also a part of the Cultural Routes of Switzerland, the ViaStoria programme for cross-linking tourism, culture and regional products along historic traffic routes. The specialist organization, the ViaStoria Centre for Traffic History, a spin-off from Bern University, has put its endeavours into the research, preservation and appropriate use of historic traffic routes for over 20 years. It has initiated the Cultural Routes of Switzerland tourism programme, compiled a comprehensive history of traffic in Switzerland and publishes the magazine «Wege und Geschichte» (routes and history). A link named «Cultural Information» on the SwitzerlandMobility website leads to interesting cultural historic background information on the respective Via routes.
