Cookie (Pilar) did a magnificent job! She was professional, caring, and fully engaged with the group. Fun group. Some of the "hop-on" guides could have been stronger. We would do another Collette tour!
Travel Swiss Alps your way
Our multi-day Swiss Alps treks link Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn through high passes and glacier valleys. The routes mix demanding climbs over 2,900m cols with nights at mountain huts and well-equipped campsites. Our groups like that they can walk at their own speed while guides help everyone stay safe on boulder fields and glacial moraines. You'll pass spots like Lac Blanc at 2,352m with wide views of Mont Blanc, and wind through meadows full of edelweiss in summer. Some paths follow old routes like the Gemmi Pass at 2,322m - Lenin and Picasso once stopped at the Schwarenbach Hotel where our hikers now take coffee breaks. For pure hiking focus, we offer three-pass days connecting Termin, Louvie and also Prafleurie cols, giving proper high-altitude experiences above 2,600m. Our travelers often say these tough sections become trip highlights, with close views of the Grand Désert glacier and ibex herds wandering by. The Haute Route is perfect for experienced hikers, taking 12-14 days from Chamonix to Zermatt. Our clients rate it as physically tough but worth every step - you climb about 1,200m most days. September brings nice perks: quieter trails, fall colors in valleys and also clear mountain air for long views. If you prefer gentler terrain, our Kandersteg valley tours mix cable car rides with good paths past lakes like Oeschinensee, where peak reflections mirror in turquoise waters. The places you'll stay really work well - we mix full-service campsites with hot showers, traditional mountain huts with shared rooms and also family-run village inns. Guides handle daily logistics while vans move main bags between stops when possible. The food gets great feedback: big breakfasts, packed lunches for scenic spots and also local specialty dinners. Having both camping and indoor options is especially useful given how quickly mountain weather shifts.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursSwiss Alps explorer routes blend classic mountain experiences with local character in ways that really connect with travelers. A favorite 4-day route kicks off in Lauterbrunnen, where waterfall walks lead to cable car rides up to Murren's car-free village paths. You'll get to see Trummelbach Falls and make your way to Jungfrau's summit station - and if you're up for it, there's even an alpine canyon swing option. For car enthusiasts, we've got a special route where you drive a Porsche across nine mountain passes including the Furka Pass that James Bond fans might recognize from Goldfinger. The journey takes you through ice chambers in the Rhône glacier (they've been carving those since 1870) and onwards through the Swiss Engadine Valley to St. Moritz. Rail lovers particularly enjoy our 8-day journey from Lucerne to Zermatt on the Golden Pass Line and Glacier Express, with nights in quality mountain hotels. Our customers tell us they love how these tours mix guided parts with free time - perfect for exploring Interlaken's Hohematte Park or taking boat trips on Lakes Thun and Brienz.
Explore a wide diversity of self-guided tours through Swiss Alps. We have 46 adventures that vary from 3 days to 12 days. With the greatest number of departures in June, this is also the most popular time of the year.

Small Group
17 tours in Swiss AlpsTwo trekking routes emerge as favorites among our Swiss Alps small-group experiences, based on what our travelers tell us. The Haute Route connects Chamonix to Zermatt over 12-14 days, with daily ascents of 1,200m that guests find demanding but deeply satisfying. Our Mont Blanc to Matterhorn trek shows a different side of group dynamics, where experienced guides like Carey and Mark let hikers set their own tempo while maintaining safety across boulder fields, glacial moraines and steep passages. Both experiences blend nights between camping, mountain huts and village inns, which naturally brings groups together during scenic rest stops and shared evening meals. We see many small groups booking September departures for the quieter trails and crisp mountain visibility. The Kandersteg valley tours offer a gentler option that keeps groups intimate, combining cable car access with mellower paths past Alpine lakes like Oeschinensee, where the turquoise waters create perfect mirror reflections worth capturing.
Private / Personalized
49 tours in Swiss AlpsThe private Classic Swiss Alps Walk takes you through Kandersteg valley on routes we've refined over years. The food at the partner hotels is exceptional - one of our clients said their hotel restaurant was "near Michelin-star quality." You'll take cable cars up to Allmenalp's meadows and walk through the UNESCO-listed Gasterntal valley, where you can spot more than 25 types of orchids. For drivers, we offer a nine-pass mountain route in a Porsche with GPS navigation preset, so you can focus on the fantastic roads. The 48 hairpin turns on Italy's Stelvio Pass at 2,757 meters are a highlight and you'll also cross Switzerland's only National Park on the curving Fuorn Pass. These tours give you independence but with expertly planned routes and local backup if needed.
Top Swiss Alps travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long tours mix serious hiking with luxury driving. The Haute Route trek takes you over three alpine passes where you might spot ibex in the quiet spots. Our customers love the trail lunches and guides, though they say you should be fit for this one. If you prefer driving, the 7-day Porsche tour lets you tackle nine mountain passes including the Stelvio Pass with its 48 hairpin turns. There's also a relaxed option following the Glacier Express path - you'll stay in nice mountain towns, get a private tour of Chillon Castle and finish with proper fondue dinners at local spots in Geneva.
Ten days between Switzerland and Austria gives you time to really get to know both alpine cultures. Starting in Bern's old town, you'll visit places like Habkern where locals show you how to make alphorns. Our travelers tell us they love mixing city time in Lucerne and Innsbruck with mountain activities. You get guided walks through historic areas plus free time to explore, and some special experiences too - like Tyrolean music shows with local families and visits to working monasteries where monks brew their own beer.
The 14-day journey from London to Rome gives you proper time in the Swiss Alps along the way. After Paris, you'll take the TGV to Basel then settle in Andermatt - it's perfectly placed for seeing Lucerne's covered bridges and riding the world's steepest railway up Mount Pilatus. These longer trips work well because they blend Swiss mountain time with other European highlights, and you get to really understand each area while moving comfortably between places.
Demographics
The Haute Route treks really shine for solo travelers - you naturally bond with your small group while conquering challenging mountain passes together. Our guests often tell us how crossing glaciers and spotting wild ibex creates lasting friendships. The guided hikes include picnic lunches that become social highlights, with the group gathering at scenic spots to share stories. Many solo travelers like mixing it up between hotels and mountain huts - you get both the social atmosphere of shared spaces and also private time when staying in single rooms.The Classic Swiss Alps Walk in Kandersteg hits the sweet spot for couples, combining excellent hotels and gourmet meals with active days on the trails. You can easily adjust your daily routes based on how energetic you're feeling. For those seeking more excitement, the Porsche mountain pass tours let you tackle 48 hairpin turns together on Stelvio Pass before retreating to boutique hotels. The rail journeys work perfectly too - especially the Golden Pass Line to Zermatt with its mountain villages and plenty of time for exploring together.The action-packed Interlaken tours are a hit with young adults, mixing skiing or hiking with paragliding and canyon swinging. Many go for the 4-day active trips that pack in Trümmelbach Falls, cable car rides and optional adrenaline sports. The hostel-style accommodation keeps costs reasonable while creating a social vibe. You get structured guidance during the day but evenings are free to explore mountain towns or join night sledding followed by fondue dinners.The leisurely rail tours using Switzerland's train network work perfectly for senior travelers - you reach scenic spots without needing strenuous hiking. Many start in Zurich then take historic cogwheel trains up to car-free Wengen, where well-marked paths offer great views without technical challenges. Each person can match activities to their comfort level. Our senior guests really value having quality hotels with good restaurants right there, so there's no need to search for dinner spots after a full day of sightseeing.The multi-day rail journeys through the Alps work really well for families - kids stay interested with the mix of trains and activities while parents appreciate how easy it is to adjust plans. Our family groups tell us they love having both guided parts and free time to explore Interlaken's parks, take boat rides on Lakes Thun and Brienz or visit the Lindt shop up at Jungfraujoch. The rail passes make it simple to slow things down if the kids need a quieter day. In winter, Interlaken-based tours combine skiing, sledding and hands-on chocolate workshops. Parents particularly like the car-free villages of Wengen and Mürren, where kids can roam safely while they relax at mountain cafes.

Best time to visit Swiss Alps
- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn brings clear mountain air and quieter trails for alpine touring. The Mont Blanc to Matterhorn trek works particularly well in September - our travelers love watching the valleys shift into early autumn colors as they cross high passes and boulder fields. Nights alternate between proper campsites and mountain huts. For easier walking, the Bernese Oberland routes let you spot late-season butterflies and grasshoppers in meadows still dotted with flowers. The mountain restaurants are perfectly placed for coffee breaks with blueberry tart and views of the snow-topped peaks. Looking at Swiss Alps hiking options, TourRadar's platform shows two standout choices that our travelers keep mentioning. Exodus Travels runs this solid "Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn" route where guides Carey and Mark really know their terrain - they've gotten lots of good feedback for keeping groups on track through some pretty intense climbs. It's worth noting though: you'll want to pack earplugs since you'll be sharing rooms, and the uphill sections demand some decent fitness prep before you go. KE Adventure Travel's "Haute Route" trek is another good pick, and guide Matthew gets high marks for handling the technical bits well. Just keep in mind one of our travelers pointed out some schedule differences from what was listed online, so it's smart to double-check the daily plan when you book. Both tours let you take in classic Alpine views, but they're proper mountain hikes that need some planning. The shared accommodation setup keeps costs reasonable and most travelers say the group dynamics add something special to these routes. For the best experience, spend some time getting fit beforehand - these aren't casual walks but real mountain paths with serious elevation gains.

Winter in the Swiss Alps really comes alive with our guided tours from Rome and Florence to Interlaken. You can blend skiing in the Jungfrau Region with local Swiss experiences - many of our clients love pairing night sledding runs with traditional fondue dinners, while others head up for paragliding over the snow-covered terrain. The coach transport is comfortable and you can adjust daily activities to your interests. For a different pace, the cross-country skiing tours in Kandersteg base you at the Alfa Soleil hotel for 5 nights. The quiet pine forest trails start right from your door, the hotel serves excellent 4-course dinners and nearby cable cars can take you up to higher slopes. Some travelers mix their ski days with chocolate-making classes and afternoon spa visits.

Spring tours capture Switzerland's dramatic seasonal changes. Our small group Magical Switzerland tour takes just 16 people from Lucerne to glamorous St. Moritz, where you can browse designer shops or hop on the UNESCO-listed Bernina Express railway. The Glacier Express portion is a real highlight - you'll wind through the Rhine Gorge and spiral up to Oberalp Pass with panoramic views the whole way. For drivers, spring conditions are perfect for touring mountain passes in a Porsche. The route crosses the Entlebuch UNESCO Biosphere and stops at Oberhofen Castle before tackling the region's most technical roads.

Why Are The Swiss Alps So Special Compared to Other European Mountains?
The Swiss Alps are really something else - they've got these incredible peaks and massive glaciers but what makes them truly unique is how easy they are to explore. You can actually get around year-round thanks to their amazing transport system. The villages are just picture-perfect tucked into these stunning valleys and there's this fascinating mix of French Italian and German culture that you won't find anywhere else.
How Do You Get Around the Swiss Alps?
The mountain railways are absolutely fantastic - you've got to try the Glacier Express it's an 8-hour journey between Zermatt and St Moritz with views that'll blow you away. The Golden Pass Line connects Lucerne to Interlaken and if you're up for driving there's this amazing route through 9 mountain passes including Furka and Stelvio. The cable cars zip you right up to the high spots and if you want complete freedom grab a car with GPS and explore those scenic passes at your own pace.
Where Can You Find Hidden Gems Away From the Crowds?
You really need to check out Gasterntal it's this gorgeous hidden valley near Kandersteg that UNESCO recognized for good reason. Just hop on a 20-minute minibus from Kandersteg and you're there. The hiking trails are incredible with snow-fed waterfalls and meadows full of unique flowers. And don't miss Blausee - it's just an hour's walk to reach this mystical blue lake with the clearest water you'll ever see.
