3 Reasons

Sublime alpine scenery

The landscape of Switzerland is punctuated with glistening glaciers and dramatic towering peaks, which is superbly suited for quality and world-class hiking adventures. The canton of St. Gallen is a sanctuary of stunning alpine scenery, including picturesque peaks and the great Lake Constance. Hiking here offers impressive opportunities.

Myths among the mountains

The rolling mountains of Switzerland cradle many of the myths that have survived the centuries. Like the witch burned at the stake which today is commemorated by a skiing event; or the dragons with healing powers that live in the mountain crevices, which live beside the dairy farming and cattle breeding communities in the area.

A crossroad culture

German, French and Italian swirl through the mountainous country and characterise the cocktail that makes up Swiss culture. From its cuisine and customs to its habits and attitudes, the national culture has also been largely shaped by the dominance of the Alps and navigating its rugged and steep territory.

Hiking with Noe was a true highlight of our trip! He was knowledgeable and warm–building an itinerary that worked just

for us! Despite the rain in the morning, we had the best time walking with Noe and would recommend anyone consider doing the same! Thank you so much, Noe!

Jamie for Hiking trip in the Bernese Alps, north Switzerland

I can’t recommend Raphy highly enough. Good company and the magic ability to know who needs help and who needs

to just get on with it themselves. Great choice of hikes with stupendous scenery.

Kate Doodson for 4-day tour in Mont Blanc massif

Die Tour Mont Blanc in der Gruppe mit Raffael als Bergführer war einfach wunderbar. Schon beim Buchen haben Anja und

Raffael super schnell und freundlich geantwortet. Die Zeit vor Ort in der Gruppe war fantastisch – die Wege gut ausgesucht, die Hütten urig, die Atmosphäre motivierend. – Man hätte sich nicht mehr wünschen können. Und dann haben uns beide auch noch mit sehr leckeren Menüs in den Selbstversorger-Hütten überrascht. Die Crepes mit selbst gesammelten Himbeeren und Blaubeeren mit weißer Schokalade im Sahne-Bett waren mein Favorit. Vielen Dank, dass Ihr Euch so ins Zeug gelegt habt. Die schönen Erinnerungen klingen noch nach!
