Via Gottardo? - a new direction

Having walked across Switzerland from its eastern crossing at Rorschach to the western border just an hour away from Geneva, I now need a new weekend activity. So how about north to south? The Via Gottardo runs from Basel (or from near Schaffhausen) in the north of Switzerland, to Chiasso at the south of Ticino. At the same time, nearer to home, there is the Jurahohenweg that follows the crest of the Jura mountains from Regensberg, near Zurich to Nyon, near Geneva. Then, of course there is the Via Alpina, ... but that can only be tackled when the snow has gone, ...lots of choice and also lots of regional routes, but I'll keep on walking. Well, I didn't fancy walking through the outskirts of Basel, so started the Via Gottardo in Liestal.
