Our home away from home is in the town of Evolène in the Swiss canton of Valais, located in the southwestern corner of Switzerland. Just as in our cycling events we’ll have a fixed base and this quiet beautiful village will be the center for our adventure.

Valais is home to the highest and most spectacular mountains of the Swiss Alps towering above beautiful valleys and quaint villages. Many of the snowcapped peaks of the area are more than 12,000 feet high with the highest soaring to over 15,000 feet. Views of these mountains are not only stunning, but they are very accessible as a short walk or bus ride will bring you to a trailhead for a breathtaking adventure.

On our trips, there is no need to carry a heavy pack, sleep in tents or travel from inn to inn as we will hike Switzerland the Swiss way. We will stay in a comfortable family run hotel in a quiet mountain village and carry only a day pack on our hikes.

For 2013 we are offering a seven day tour, which is complete with guided hiking, fun side trips on days off and magnificent scenery. The trip begins in Zurich on July 21, 2013, and departs from Zurich on July 27, 2013. This is a trip of a lifetime and we’d love to share it with you.
