Personalized Hike Planning & Guidance

Let’s create your own wanderweg!

Planning an adventure in Switzerland and feeling…overwhelmed?

Trust me, I’ve been there.

Anyone who has planned a hiking trip knows it is easier said than done. And in a country like Switzerland, with over 65,000 kilometers of trails, finding the perfect trail can quickly turn into a time-consuming puzzle. Hours of reading reviews, checking maps, looking up trail conditions, and coordinating transit—it can get complicated fast. Plus, if you’re visiting from abroad, figuring out the logistics of hiking in a new country makes things even trickier.

So, that’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Alex 👋 I’ve been living and hiking in Switzerland for over six years, and I’m here to help. 

I provide personalized hike planning services, so you can focus on enjoying the beauty of the Alps without the stress. My expertise lies in showing hikers the hidden side of Switzerland—the one most tourists never get to see. If you are looking for local gems, off-the-beaten-track trails, and epic hut-to-hut adventures, you’ve come to the right place. Let me handle the research and planning so you can enjoy the ultimate Swiss hiking experience.

Is this for you?

My services are particularly suited for those who:

  • Want to avoid the crowds: While the Swiss Alps are vast, many visitors gravitate toward popular spots like the Jungfrau region. But those open to exploring less-touristic areas will find that Switzerland is home to countless, absolutely stunning destinations.

  • Want an authentic experience: You’re eager to hike where the locals hike. And, maybe even how the locals hike, like: staying in a dorm in a mountain hut, taking a ride in a small creaky gondola, buying fresh cheese from a farm for lunch, or swimming in an icy alpine lake.

  • Want a custom plan: Every hike is unique, and I want to help you make the most of your time on the trail. Whether you are looking for scenic day hikes or a challenging multi-day trek, I can design an itinerary that’s just right for you.

If this sounds like you, let’s get started!
