VIA ALPINA (SWITZERLAND) PART 1

Our love of hiking in Switzerland led us to the ultimate Swiss Hiking experience: the Via Alpina (Trail 1).We have completed approximately 80% of Trail 1 in 3 stages. Join us on our adventures!

A "CRASH LANDING ON YOU" SIGHTSEEING TOUR OF SWITZERLAND

This is a quick tour incorporating many of the beautiful sites featured in the series, "Crash Landing on You": perfect if you're travelling around Europe and you have limited time in Switzerland.

VIA ALPINA PART 3: KANDERSTEG TO ADELBODEN

Again, this section was completed over a couple of visits and we hiked as far as the Hahenmoos Pass but did not continue down to Lenk.

VIA ALPINA (SWITZERLAND) PART 2

This was completed on 2 separate trips to Switzerland, and in my opinion it is the most spectacular part of the trail. The passes reach almost 3000m above sea level and are challenging but definitely worth the effort!
