Latest news May 2010
We are geared up for summer 2010, with the new routes we researched this summer. Please contact us about a trip to explore these super valleys.

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.

The details of this trip are open to adaptation, perhaps more so than any of our other trips. Let us know what you like to do and see, and the type of walking you like, and we'll plan a superb itinerary to make the most of this spectacular region. Standardly you'll have a mix of moderate walks and travel between the valleys, making a relaxing and diverting holiday.

This being a self-guided holiday, you're free to complete the walks as you choose: we arrange everything for you, including booking accommodation and providing you with routecards for the walking, and then it's up to you to carry out the walks yourself.

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