 Hiking
& Hut-to-Hut Trekking...
...we lead tours from May to October throughout
Europe.
Monte
Rosa Circle Hike, Italy
(August – October)
This 7day hike takes you around Europe’s
second-highest mountain (a.k.a. The Queen of the Alps) and across
the Swiss Italian border twice. We walk on ancient trails, over
11,000-ft passes, and into lush green valleys; moving from hut to
hut with light backpacks.
We'll hike
by Saas Fee, Zermatt, Champoluc, Macugnaga, Gressoney, and Alagna,
world renown for their striking beauty and mountain village character.
This is a strenuous hike so good physical fitness is required.
Minimum number of participants: 5.
 Sound
of Music Trek: Berchtesgadener Alpen, Austria
(July)
Six days of moderate hiking in one of Austria’s most beautiful
alpine areas – the Hochkoenig. We will spend one or two days
sightseeing in Salzburg, the music capital of the world where we
will visit Mozart’s birthplace and attend an opera at the Marionetten
theater. Lodging will be in Hotels in Salzburg and Maria Alm and
during the trek in mountain huts. This is the area where the movie
Sound of Music was filmed.
 Gran
Paradiso National Park Trek: Italy (July-September)
The Gran Paradiso was the first national park to be established
in Italy. It is situated in northern Italy, close to the French
border, just south east of the famous Mont Blanc massif. The park
was established as a hunting ground by king Vittorio Emanuele in
1856. Paradoxically his protection of the wildlife there, albeit
for his own sport, has led to this being an area renown for its
fauna, with ibex and chamois roaming the area in abundance. This
is a six day, moderately difficult hike traversing the park from
east to west. At altitude we stay in alpine huts and in the valleys
in comfortable hotels. Absorbing the mountain scenery with it’s
towering 14,000ft peaks while we hike over rocky passes and through
lush green meadows we work up an appetite for the excellent local
cuisine and fine wines we will enjoy during the evenings.
 The
best of the Dolomites trek: Italy
In 8 days we hike from the Fedaia pass
to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Around beautiful spires, through larch
forests, pastures and alpine villages. The hiking is of moderate
difficulty. Average days are between 3 and six hours of walking
which allows for lots of rests, a good lunch and innumerous pictures.
Don’t forget a headlamp or torch because we will explore some
of the WWI tunnels going hundreds of feet into the mountains and
providing secret passages to neighboring valleys. Also there will
be the option of doing a "via ferrata" or iron way which
is typical of this part of the alps. On our way back to the airport
we will spend a day of sightseeing in Venice. In the mountains we
will stay in alpine huts, in the valleys comfortable hotels.
