ALPINE
Alpine
Switzerland's Rawest Edges
Choose when
you want to feel it
Spring
Meltwater Canyon
The Verzasca River runs emerald and violent in April. You stand on a granite ledge above a gorge that has been carving itself for ten thousand years and you jump.
Guided canyon jumping in the Verzasca Valley with professional safety rigging. Swim through carved granite pools, abseil waterfalls, and leap from heights between 4 and 14 metres into water so clear it looks solid.
Summer
Midnight on Glass
At 23:47 the last ferry light disappears. The full moon turns Lake Brienz into a mirror. You paddle into the centre of it and the Alps are below you as much as above.
Stand-up paddleboarding under full moon conditions on Lake Brienz, one of Switzerland's most remote glacial lakes. Bioluminescent plankton blooms in peak summer. We launch at midnight and return at first light.
Autumn
Golden Ferrata
The larch forests above Zermatt turn a colour that has no name in English. You climb iron cables bolted into granite while the Matterhorn watches from across the valley.
A full-day via ferrata traverse above Zermatt through the golden larch belt at 2,400 metres. Cables, ladders, and exposed traverses with the Matterhorn as a constant horizon. No previous climbing experience required — full harness and helmet provided.
Winter
Torchlit Descent
Three hours into the mountain, torches lit, the world reduced to the circle of your headlamp and the crunch of snow, you arrive at a stone hut that smells of melted Gruyère.
A guided snowshoe descent through old-growth forest into a private mountain hut, arriving for a traditional Raclette and Fondue dinner with local wine. The return is by torchlight under a clear alpine sky. Groups of 2 to 16.
Three kinds of people
who need the mountain
Celebrate something you can't celebrate at a restaurant.
Anniversaries, proposals, the arbitrary Tuesday you decided to stop waiting. We build two-person expeditions around moments that deserve more than a table for two.
- Private via ferrata at sunrise
- Champagne at 3,000 m after a glacier hike
- Midnight SUP under a full moon for two
Tired of trust falls.
Teams of 8 to 16 who need to actually trust each other. A via ferrata rope teaches that faster than any workshop. We run half-day and full-day team programmes.
- Via ferrata team challenge, Lauterbrunnen
- Night navigation and snowshoe, Grindelwald
- Rafting + alpine dinner debrief
Done Iceland. Done Patagonia. What's next.
You have the gear. You have the stamps. You need a guide who won't explain what a carabiner is. We match you to routes that still have something to teach you.
- Technical alpine traverse, Chamonix ridge
- Multi-day ski touring, Valais
- Ice climbing clinic, Grindelwald
Your guides
know these mountains
Tobias Frei
Lead Alpine Guide
Born in Grindelwald. Has summited the Eiger North Face three times. Knows which larch to shelter under when the weather turns.
Miriam Schuler
Water & Night Guide
Grew up kayaking the Aare. Ran the Verzasca in flood. Understands what water does to people — and what people do when they trust it.
Luca Bernasconi
Paragliding Instructor
Tested Interlaken's thermals for six years before trusting them with clients. Teaches silence — not technique.
Every Alpine expedition operates under Swiss Mountain Guide Association protocols. All guides hold current first-aid certification, carry emergency sat-phones, and file daily route plans with the Rettungsstation Berner Oberland.
The mountain
doesn't wait.
Every season has a window of 8–12 weeks. Most expeditions book out 6 weeks in advance. The Schilthorn doesn't reschedule.
