Hiking with Alpine Exploratory


Simon Stevens at Alpine Exploratory Welcome to Alpine Exploratory! All our trips are available self-guided, where we book your choice of dates for yourself, family or friends. Since 2005 our mission has been to give the best interpretation of the trails that we walk, allied to friendly service. We also offer guided trips on the Tour du Mont Blanc, Alta Via 1, and the Walker's Haute Route or, as a private guided group, on any of our routes. We hope to see you out on the trails soon. Simon Stevens, Edinburgh

Reviews from our customers



"Great walking holiday!"
July 2021

"Just back from a great walking holiday in the Outer Hebrides arranged by Alpine Exploratory. We have used Alpine Exploratory on three occasions now and all have been excellent holidays - walking routes well described, good accommodation and baggage transfer where roads permit. They provide a very responsive email service when booking and whilst on the trail and I would recommend to anyone seeking that sort of holiday."
"Wondrous experience"
September 2021

"I returned a few days ago from completing a solo Walkers Haute Route East itinerary along with a few days in Chamonix on the way back to my flight home. The planning and support from the exemplary crew at Alpine Exploratory was incredible. The trip was spectacular, inspiring, challenging, and altogether one of the most wondrous experiences of my life. I can’t say enough about the difference Alpine Exploratory’s expertise made..."
"Best decision I made!"
August 2021

"Booking an Alta Via 1 trip with Alpine Exploratory was the best decision I made during COVID cabin fever. Steph and team kept me posted as the schedule came together, and provided all the materials I needed for my self-guided trip. When the dates finally arrived, I was ready with the right kit and knowledge to navigate confidently and enjoy the spectacular experience."
