4-day Hiking and wine tasting tour around Lake Geneva, Switzerland
Matthew is one of the best...knowledgable, personable, very aware of clients abilities and interests. This is an all-time favorite trip...
Covered in glistening glaciers and dramatic towering peaks, the landscape of Switzerland is superbly suited for quality hiking. Located in the western canton of Vaud, from the classic mountain of Grand Muveran (3,051 meters) and the summit of Noirmont close to France to the stunning natural park of Haut Jura.

What's the weather like?
Switzerland generally has temperate weather, yet varies between specific locations. Summer months tend to be warm and humid with occasional rainfalls. From July to August the daytime temperature ranges from 18 to 28°C
The canton of Vaud is located in the western section of Switzerland, and is the third-largest canton in the country. The French-speaking region borders Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comte of France to the west. While to the north it borders the Swiss canton of Neuchatel, to the east Fribourg and Bern, and to the south Valais and Lake Geneva
We had a weeklong tour with Matthew in 2017 and of all the trips we have made, hiking and otherwise, this was the best. Matthew found beautiful and varied types of hikes for each day, and the restaurants and vineyards he found were superb. His knowledge of the wine and geography is deep and he has a wonderful sense of humor. The trip was a joy from beginning to end.
