Switzerland | 16th to 19th September 2025
3000er Alpine Adventure
We will be exploring the stunning Swiss Alps with our 3-night hut-to-hut hiking adventure.
Join us as we traverse the breathtaking trails of the Anniviers Valley, a hidden gem in the heart of Switzerland. Over three days, you'll experience the beauty of alpine landscapes, challenge yourself with two 3000-meter (c10,000ft) peaks, and unwind in rustic mountain refuges. Oh, and you'll get to eat as much cheese as you can manage.

ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
Accommodation while up high on the mountain will be in the Bella Tola Cabane (alpine hut) and the Hotel Weisshorn and it is on a shared basis. Sleeping arrangements in our first two nights high up the mountain are likely to consist of dormitories and double rooms with separate beds. If you would prefer your own room for the final (3rd) night in the hotel in Zinal, please do ask and it might be possible to arrange at an additional cost.
The quality of the food at all huts/hotels is excellent as are the wines and local beers. Food tends to be hearty, owing to the nature of the mountain physical activity and the cheese orientated culture of the alpine regions. Vegetarian and vegan options, or options that reflect allergies, can be requested in advance.
