The Valais Alps – The Hidden Valleys

Experience the most unspoilt valleys in Switzerland. Four valleys full of charm and true Swiss character right on the French-German language border in the Upper Valais. An idyllic cabin at altitude, two boutique hotels, a farm bed & breakfast with grazing yaks, five and a half days walking, three superb mountain passes over 3,000 metres, the breathtaking views of the legendary ‘4,000’ (Dome Weisshorn, Mont Blanc…). For trained hikers, beginners or active sportmen & women. this is a truly exotic trek with a Zen flavour. A small taste of Himalayas in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
