What To Expect
Swiss Alps
First, we drive with the minivan to the starting point of our unique hike. Summer: Our main destination is the breathtaking Göscheneralpsee trail, where we traverse lush meadows, serene forests, and a stunning glacial lake. Winter: Our winter snowshoe hikes explore some of Switzerland’s most beautiful trails, with favorites including Engelberg Titlis, Langis, and Rigi. Each destination offers its own magic from peaceful, snow covered forests and open alpine meadows to breathtaking views. Since mountain weather can be unpredictable, we remain flexible and may adjust our route to ensure the best experience. Our priority is always selecting the safest and most rewarding trail for the day. Regardless of the chosen route, each hike unfolds as a picturesque adventure, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable landscapes throughout the approximately 3-4 hour trek. Enjoy the diversity of experiences as you traverse these stunning locations, each with its own unique charm and allure.
Lake Lucerne
After the hike, if the weather is good, we’ll head to the lake for a refreshing dip and some time to relax. The exact spot depends on the hike we choose that day. In case of bad weather, we’ll instead enjoy a cozy stop at a bistro. If needed, we can also make a quick stop at a supermarket on the way. This way, the day ends with a delightful and flexible experience, no matter the conditions.

5.00This trip is one way to experience the incredible Lucerne, Switzerland. Robbe from VP Tours tailored our trip based upon our prior communication, right up til the week of our arrival based upon the weather. Words cannot describe the Lake Goshenen - just INCREDIBLE. The day's hike was our families highlight of our family Europe trip this year. Highly recommended!!

5.00A perfect day in the Alps ☀️ While the city was wrapped in fog, we escaped to the sunshine and mountain air. Robbe was the most caring adventure guide! an amazing driver, thoughtful, funny and calm the whole way. The hike felt safe, peaceful, and full of warmth. And our picnic lunch? Absolutely perfect. Thx Robbe 🌕

5.00This was such a wonderful experience. We are both 70+, in excellent shape, but unaccustomed to high mountain hikes. Robbe was very attentive to our hiking skill levels, was constantly supportive, and made it such a wonderful, photogenic trip. If there was an issue, such as stumbling a bit, he constantly monitored our progress and adjusted as needed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Robbe for any hiking activity.

5.00We loved our full day hike! Robbe communicated very well prior to our hike which was very nice. He was prompt in picking us up, which we appreciated. He was quickly able to recognize our ability and was truly interested in keeping us safe. Robbe took us to beautiful vistas that we would not have been able to see otherwise. We loved our full day hike! Steve and Janelle

5.00As a visitor to Switzerland for the first time, I was desperate to experience the mountains up close. But I'm also scared of heights, so when I saw the hike that we were going on when we got to the location, I thought that there was no way I'd be able to do it but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't quite as scary as I thought. It was definitely challenging and uncomfortable at times but there were very few sheer drops next to us, which made it a more comfortable experience. In terms of ease, I'd say that I have basic fitness but the altitude and 30 degree heat on the day made the climb harder than it might have been on a cooler day. However, it is totally do-able, and will give tourists who want a more challenging hike, a really great experience. We even got to meet some mountain cows along the way, which was lovely. Advice: Take 2-3 bottles of water as I ran out half way up. Robbe was a really friendly guide and gave us great advice on walking techniques, which helped us get through the climb with ease and without injury. It was really interesting to come away with new practical walking skills. We were a little behind schedule after the hike which meant that we didn't get chance to swim but that was okay. the extra stops on the way up the mountain were more important to me. Robbe, also took lots of photos and videos that he sent on to us afterwards, which was really appreciated. In summary, definitely take this hike but take lots of water and be prepared to be challenged in a positive way.
A brilliant hike that positively took me out of my comfort zone

5.00We had the most amazing hiking tour in Switzerland! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we were so lucky that the sun came out today, letting us truly soak in all the beauty this country has to offer. Robbe made the experience even more special — incredibly informative, thoughtful, and able to tailor the hike perfectly to our group’s interests and pace. It felt like more than just a tour; it was a deeply memorable journey shared with someone who genuinely loves and understands this place. By far, this has become my favorite trip and destination. Thank you so much for sharing this special corner of Switzerland with us — it’s an experience I’ll treasure forever! 🌄🇨🇭✨
