Depending on the weather we will be able to stay in huts, or sleep in the valley. Around Grindelwald in this period still a lot of destinations are open. |
Indication of type of tours:
- Alpine walking: we stay on the normal marked routes, where possible we use cablecars or busses to avoid long walks with all our lugage. We sleep in 'relative' luxurious huts/moutainhostels
- Alpine hiking: the routes and huts are located on higher altitudes. We have to walk longer trips with all our luggage. We take more challenging routes, which are still marked
- Alpine climbing: we leave the markes routes and climb above the huts to tops, sometimes crossing gletchers.
- Klettersteig/via ferrata: nearby the normal routes climbing routes are installed. Every participant must individually secure him/herself with special equipment (equipment can normally be rented at the start)
