Hike with a daypack through a spectacular area. You’ll enjoy stunning scenery on high mountain trails, picturesque valleys and towns, comfortable lodging, and tasty cuisine.
Our trip will begin in the climbing and ski-resort town of Saas-Fee in southwestern Switzerland. We’ll explore the Pennine Alps that encircle the town, hike along scenic trails and beneath impressive glaciers, and lunch at mountain huts. Then our group will shift to the town of Zermatt, whose skyline is dominated by the iconic Matterhorn. We’ll day-hike to lofty overlooks, along glacial moraines, and across high mountain slopes. From here we’ll enjoy incredible views, and see the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa from several different vantage points.
