Description
Resting among the rugged mountains in southwestern Switzerland is the alpine village of Verbier. The world-class ski resort features front row seats to iconic Alpine peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
It is among this breathtaking backdrop that we will explore on snowshoes, an excellent alternative to skiing for discovering the snowy mountains.
I have a long record of leading groups on exciting adventures among the snow-filled mountains of Verbier. I’ll take you to my favorite spots where you can feel assured that you’ll know the very best of the region.
Verbier is part of the 4 Vallees region, along with the resorts of Bruson, Nendaz, Thyon, La Tzoumaz and Veysonnaz. That’s right, there are actually 6 resorts of the 4 Vallees! This makes it the largest skiable area in Switzerland.
If the snow conditions are good then we can start the day from the bottom of the mountain, working our way up the slopes and into remote areas. In different conditions we can take the chair lift to enter the mountains.
Witness the dramatic peaks, trek through quiet forests, and experience the serene surrounds of the great outdoors.
Get in touch now to reserve your place on a 1-day snowshoeing trip in Verbier. I’ll maximize the thrills and get you up close and personal with the Swiss Alps.

Mountain Leader
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.

What people are saying about -Sarah

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!
