Skating land Switzerland consists of national and regional skating routes through rural and alpine regions of Switzerland.
Skating land Switzerland composes together with Bicycling land, Hiking land and Canoeing land one of the four HPM (Human Power Mobility) projects for the promotion of exercise and sport. The four HPM projects are signalled on uniform principles and communicated through the internet and prints in partnership with the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and Switzerland Tourism.
