Glacier Trekking in the Alps
Trekking on the biggest Glacier in Europe
Glacier Hikers on the Gruenhornleuckke
This is a great family activity in one of the most spectacular areas in Europe. This hike down the Aletschgletscher, Europe’s largest glacier, is situated in an area that is one of UNESCO’s Greatest Natural Wonders of the World. You take a famously scenic train ride from Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen up to the highest train station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch, at 3454 m or 11333 ft. Then you enjoy a leisurely hike down the glacier safely on a rope, under the care of an excellent guide. Overnight we stay in one of the many luxury Swiss alpine huts, where you enjoy a hearty Swiss meal served by the hut keeper and his family while you watch the sun set over the Alps. The next morning we hike down to a Swiss village called Fiesch, where we take the train back to Interlaken. This 2-day glacier hike requires no skills other than being able to walk for 5 hours a day in mountain/hiking boots. This is the perfect activity for families or friends to round out a Swiss vacation.

Swiss Hut to Hut Tours
Easy hiking around Stunning Mountains
Based out of Interlaken, we start early in the morning after a nice, hearty alpine breakfast. We hike through and explore different valleys along the many well-maintained hiking trails. We use modern trams, trains and bus transportation systems to gain altitude and to return from our destinations. Imagine having lunch out in the summer meadows, rich with mountain flowers, cowbells ringing in the distance while enjoying majestic mountain views. Maybe you will even see some local fauna like the Ibex, Chamois or Marmot.
The Tierbaergli hut
You will sleep well in any of the quaint huts or mountain guest homes along the way or in family-owned hotels in the small mountain villages of Wengen, Gimmelwald, Rosenlaui, or Beatenberg. The possibilities are endless, and we are here to help you design your dream hiking trip. We will visit a cheese “factory” in a mountain chalet that still makes cheese like they did 100 years ago. This truly authentic Swiss adventure doesn’t take you to crowded tourist museums or areas. You will experience the culture, language, traditions and accommodations in a way that only a local “insider” like your guide can offer. It is unforgettable. All cultural events as well as the daily hikes will be customized just for you in accordance to your fitness, mood and the weather
