Switzerland | 11th to 14th September 2025
ELEVATE ALPINE WALKING ADVENTURE
In collaboration with Elevate Fitness Studios
Exclusive to Elevate members (at a heavily discounted rate), 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. This is what we train at Elevate for! Over three days, you'll experience the beauty of alpine landscapes, challenge yourself with two 3000-meter 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. Sleeping arrangements are likely to consist of dormitories (but limited to Elevate occupants) and double rooms with separate beds. 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.
