Description
Located in the Canton of Valais, in Switzerland, the UNESCO World Heritage High Trail goes from the Bettmerhorn to the Eggishorn. These are 2,000-meter peaks that belong to the Bernese Alps. Come with me on this 1-day program and discover the amazing views from this beautiful area.
The main attraction of this trip are the views from the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the range. Additionally, while hiking, we’ll also enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains, such as Jungfrau and Bietschhorn. Another interesting natural point that we’ll gaze at will be the Rhône Valley.
As for the requirements, to take part in this program it’s important to have a good level of fitness as well as some previous hiking experience. Although the level is not too demanding, we may find some technical difficulties on the way.
So, do you find this hiking trip in the Bernese Alps attractive? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and make your reservation. It will be a wonderful experience!
A more challenging option could be this hiking program that I lead in Val de Bagnes. Check it out!

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!
