Alpine Charm




"The best sausage in Tirol" Atop the Stelvio Pass,
with Tirol's highest peak – the Ortler as the backdrop.




Even lofty climbing huts serve wonderfully tasty meals.




The Zufall Hut is a favorite lunch stop... truly a room with a view!




Higher on the gourmet scale... a lovely country inn near Lake Como.




Haute Cuisine is often a highlight on the weekly rest day.




Alpine architecture blends with the beautiful landscape.




Our long associations with the multigenerational,
family owned hotels in our villages guarantee welcoming smiles.




Villages like Soglio (which we visit every April) are simply breathtaking.

Happy Hikers




Seeing Mont Blanc is always a highpoint for our groups.




"Nice to be here, but the water's too cold to swim!"




Overcoming a moderate challenge brings smiles all around.




Families are always welcome... active grandparents (seniors)...




...their children and grandchildren too!




While our trips are not intended as photographic safaris,
there's never a shortage of things to shoot.

Mountain Scenery




The Dom and Taeschhorn in Switzerland's Valais.




Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile in the Bergell between Italy and Switzerland.




The magnificent Aiguille du Dru near Chamonix in France.




Two peaks of the Schlern in Italy's Dolomites.




The Seealpsee, one of the three idyllic lakes in Appenzell's Saentis region.




A man-made lake and the glacier which feeds it in Austria's Zillertal.




The Lonza, a glacier-fed stream in Switzerland's Loetschental.




The mighty Argentiere Glacier at the junction of the French, Swiss, & Italian borders.

Weather




Clouds can dominate the scenery with an eerie beauty all their own.




Or they can enhance it... the Rosengarten near Tiers in Italy's Dolomites.




But fair weather hikers are also rewarded on those unforgettable, cloudless days...
above the Matschertal, where Austria, Italy, and Switzerland meet.
