Here are the primary trip categories to help you find the best adventure in the Alps for you (and yes, it’s possible to mix and match!):
Rail
These are our most popular tours and for good reason. The Alps are known for making the mountains accessible. Without picking up your ice axe, you’ll have the most scenic views of some of the highest peaks in Europe. You’ll ride on the most legendary alpine railways and discover the charms of other scenic routes such as the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Gotthard Express, and the GoldenPass Line. If you love the mountains, fine dining, beautiful hotels with authentic Swiss charm, and unforgettable experiences—an Alps rail tour is for you. Some rail tours we offer are Scenic Alps by Rail and Scenic Alps by Rail – Christmas Edition.
Food & Culture
This is our most exclusive tour. We often call it a “backstage pass to the Alps” since you’ll see a very personal side of Switzerland and its people. You’ll participate in chocolate workshops, a fondue academy, and cheesemaking—all at the foot of majestic mountain peaks. You’ll like this tour if you want a blend of hiking, culture, and food fit for Michelin. Join us in savoring Switzerland on our Cheese, Chocolate, & the Alps tour.
Hiking
On Alpenwild hiking tours, you’ll enjoy out and back day hikes while staying in the comfort of locally owned, boutique hotels. The Alps are full of incredible hiking destinations. Any region you choose has at least a week full of 5-star hikes. You’ll like our Alps hiking tours if you want don’t want to move hotels every night and want some flexibility on how much hiking you do each day.
