2 Classic Swiss Alps Walk reviews from past travelers that booked with Global Journeys.
All inclusive 6 day walking/hiking tour in the Swiss Alps. 0 Phil and Patricia, NSW, Australia, Aug 2024
Spectacular alpine scenery. The initial cost appeared high compared to other destinations/walks we were considering. Dining out in Switzerland can be pricey, however, all meals were included (except wine/beer). Also good was to “unpack once” with suggested walks or itinerary for the day commencing from the hotel.

This was a self guided tour based in Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. This was my first self guided walking trip so I wasn’t too sure what to expect, but the operators (Exodus with Headwater) made it as hassle free as possible. Great hiking route notes and a GPS map for each hike we’re provided before departure. On the evening read more of arrival in Kandersteg, the hotel operator gave an overview of the week and provided additional hard copy maps and ideas of how we might like to tailor the week to suit our preferences, weather conditions etc.
The accommodation and meals were good, with buffet breakfast, dinner and a lunch station set up each morning to enable us to make a sandwich and grab a piece of fruit to take for lunch. The walks were varied, with a mix of walking from the town and taking a chairlift, mini-bus or local train up to the start of the hike. The instructions were great, paths are well signed and the GPS map helped if you still weren’t sure of which direction to head. Overall a great way to walk in the Swiss Alps - the prep work is done and you just have to decide which walk you want to do on which day. Kandersteg is also a beautiful spot, a small resort village in a stunning setting.
