Description
Take part of a beautiful hike in Val de Bagnes on this 1-day program in Switzerland.
I would like to invite you to Haut Val de Bagnes Nature Reserve, one of the largest in Switzerland. This amazing natural area is in the Canton of Valais, in the southwestern side of the country. Nearby, is the charming village of Verbier where we can enjoy a nice hike through the Sentier des Chamois. This trail will allow us to discover many natural spots in the reserve, such as Lac de Louvie. We’ll go through hills, valleys and a steep and wild terrain. As we move forward in our walk, we’ll contemplate the most incredible views from Val de Bagnes. Also, while hiking, we’ll have the possibility to see some of the local fauna, such as marmots and ibex.
Please, take into account that this hike can be very challenging. We’ll experience an elevation gain of around 1,000 meters. Therefore, it’s mandatory for participants to have prior hiking experience as well as a very good level of fitness.
So, if you think this hiking program would suit you, get in touch with me by sending your request. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time exploring this beautiful alpine area.
Another option could be this hiking program from Verbier to Zermatt. Check it out!

Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.
I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

Frankly, Sarah Kleinknecht is what you dream of having when picking a guide and it is my pleasure to provide a review. My 76 year old mother and I recently went on a 5 day trek through the Alps and it was nothing short of perfect. Sarah is able to perfectly speak 3 different languages however I would argue that her ability to communicate the needs of her clients is her most fluent form of expression. She was easily able to adjust daily excursions depending on weather/ability and planned a life changing adventure. My mother, who as stated is 76, had a perfectly planned course of hikes/trails with challenging yet achievable objectives. Even more so, Sarah is low key a celebrity within the Alps having worked there over 20 years and knew everyone! We were warmly greeted like old friends everywhere we went. She is a positive yet stern guide who keeps safety first yet is always able to provide a laugh. Without a doubt, I would highly recommended Sarah!
