Alpine Passes Trek: Hut-to-Hut Hiking in Valais

Alpine Passes Trek: Hut-to-Hut Hiking in Valais

Hiking, Exploring Switzerland

Our itinerary was inspired by a few stages of the Alpine Passes long-distance trail (Stages 21-24). The entirety of this hike is within the Valais Alps, in the French region of Switzerland. It is five days of high-alpine hiking, with four nights in remote mountain huts, and some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Every day was somehow more impressive than the last. I don’t say this lightly, but: this might be one of the best multi-day hikes in Switzerland.

In the summer, Raunaq and I are focused on high alpine hiking. But in the spring, when all the snow packs are melting, there’s no better time to wander through a Swiss valley - especially if that valley is the land of the 72 waterfalls. Lauterbrunnen might just be the most whimsical place in all of Switzerland. Which, in a land full of storybook towns and rolling green countrysides and aquamarine lakes, is saying something. It’s modern-day Rivendell, and it is spectacular.

I had never snowshoed before moving to Switzerland, and now, I quite literally can’t imagine winters without it. Too dramatic? Maybe so, but snowshoeing is my favorite winter activity and the key to surviving - even thriving - in winter is to find at least one winter activity that you enjoy. Preferably one that makes you feel like you are inside a snow globe. Enter: Snowshoeing in Switzerland!
