On the road with hiking guides

Our hiking guides lead guests safely on flat terrain and in the mountains, where no technical aids are required (no climbing or glacier crossings). On the way, they inform our guests in an entertaining way about the nature, culture, customs and stories of the region and thus give the landscape a fourth dimension.
