A walk in the snow

gemmi

So if you don't fancy St Moritz, and you're not keen on skiing, well, how about taking a hike?

New this winter, the Alpavia travel agency will take the backpack from your shoulders while you walk through the winter wonderland.

And your luggage is guaranteed to be at your overnight rest hotel before you.

The classic tour is from Interlaken to Kandersteg, taking in the Jungfrau, the Gemmi Pass (a historic link between Berne and the Valais, see photo above) and Lauchernalp.

The hotels are of good quality (this is Switzerland) and a 6 day trip costs around 880 CHF/person.  This includes breakfast and dinner - food is traditional Swiss and can be relied on to be both tasty and provide energy for the next day's activities.

Trips start each Sunday throughout winter.
