Overview

You will spend an unforgettable day in breathtaking mountain scenery, with a dedicated and knowledgable guide, who will tailor the itinerary to all your wishes and needs. Access to 'secret' spots of an area with no mass tourism, but with centuries old traditions and way of life and where we will mainly encounter locals and swiss tourists. I will be able to answer all your questions about local customs and ancient way of half nomadic agriculture, but also about life in Switzerland, History, Geography and modern issues like effects of climate change and the impressive infrastructure of the alpine crossings - the amount of walking can be totally fine tuned in terms of length and steepness. I can find something short or long for anyone. (in case you have a rental car I can also drive you places normally not accessible) ***** In short: a well travelled local guide will take you places where the locals go and I hope I will pass my love for the Alps on to you, my guests

What To Expect

I will adapt this experience based on customers interests and activity requirements. There will always be at least one aerial gondola ride or postal bus ride to a remote location, where unique landscapes and centuries old traditions can be found. Breathtaking views and a variety of landscapes beckon in every direction. I will listen to my guests and will deliver on what it is they would like to experience on that day. Hiking can be short and easy or more advanced. I have the luxury of a vast hiking network and 36 different gondolas to choose from, so that the level of exercise can totally be adapted. Each one of those gondolas is different and they are an attraction in themselves. You will be able to take lots spectacular photos and selfies ***** It is my ultimate goal to provide my guests with an unforgettable day in the Swiss Alps and will also be a valuable resource in the further travel planning through Switzerland.
