Alpine Walking Adventure
July 31 - August 9, 2015
From $4,995
The Swiss Alpine Walking Adventure takes travelers from iconic mountain peaks to the valleys of rustic Swiss towns. Over 10 days, experience breathtaking vistas, mountain waterfalls, glaciers, and alpine scenery, while spending each evening at a comfortable home base. Each hotel has been carefully selected for its location and reputation for welcoming service.
Depart each morning with an expert guide to ride the world’s first revolving cable car, descend into prehistoric cliff caves, and walk through the heart of a glacier. Back at lower elevation, enjoy the country’s music, cuisine, and of course its famous hospitality. Explore centuries of Swiss heritage at a Benedictine monastery, St. Gallen’s old Town and Abbey Library, and the narrow lanes and guild halls of medieval Zürich.
This is an active tour that requires the ability to walk a leisurely three to five miles over the course of the day, with modest elevation gains. Our Alpine walking adventure is limited to 25 travelers seeking to experience the culture and scenery of one of the world’s most spectacular countries.
