Latest news May 2010
We're delighted to announce 3 scheduled trips for summer 2010, starting on 26 June, 1 August and 21 August. Please join us to explore this magnificent part of the Swiss Alps.

Get to know one of Switzerland's most dramatic mountain regions - perhaps the most dramatic. South of the Rhone in the Valais region, a series of deep valleys run roughly parallel. In each valley's upper reaches are beautiful villages and pastoral scenes, framed by the high mountains of the Pennine Alps.

In the company of your own group plus a qualified leader, you can relax and take in so much of the local area. We take care of the planning. This trip is particularly open to adaptation in which villages and accommodation we use, and in its length.

This being a guided holiday, your leader is on hand throughout, there for your safety and to inspire and inform about these superb Swiss valleys. If you'd like to spend a day on your own walk or seeing the local sights, you're welcome to do so.

We book your accommodation in a mix of hotels, making the most of excellent options available in each valley.


















































Happy clients

"Outstanding [scenery] - and the three locations offered an interesting variety.

"View of the Matterhorn from the hotel bedroom was a real bonus."
