A Swiss Railway company
The Via Alpina winds from Trieste (Italy) via the Alps to Monaco, its 5000 km of walking tracks marked out into 5 trails through eight European countries. The whole route discovers a unique region of 200,00 square km of peaks and valleys, of high mountain pastures and forests, large villages and hamlets, by creating the ultimate trail for hiking and the discovery of the entire Alpine space.
Our escorted tour covers the Swiss part of the Via Alpina and is divided into 5 stages of 4-5 hiking days. The first stage starts in Eastern Switzerland and the last one ends at the shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux. You choose how many stages you want to book.
