A hiking trip to the Alps can last a different number of days, but we have tried to make each tour rich and literally all-encompassing.

Hiking in the Alps is an ideal option for an active holiday

The Alps delight with a variety of trekking and mountaineering routes – every beginner or experienced climber can choose a holiday to suit his capabilities and expectations. At the same time, we have selected for you some of the most exciting mountain hikes in the Alps.

Perhaps the most popular trekking destination in this area is the Dolomites. This is an ancient mountain range formed 230 million years ago and is distinguished by unique landscapes with vertical cliffs, long and narrow valleys and various glaciers. At the same time, such a hike in the Alps is an opportunity to see legendary meadows, evergreen forests, lunar landscapes, as well as mountain lakes that amaze with their purity.

For those who enjoy a more extreme holiday, we offer a traverse of the Monte Rosa massif, located on the border of Italy and Switzerland. There are many four-thousanders here, which you can conquer, discovering the grandeur and diversity of the Alpine peaks. This mountain hike in the Alps is considered quite difficult, so it requires good preliminary acclimatization, certain physical training and experience with mountaineering equipment and moving in crampons.

Climbing in the Alps for those who love heights

Hiking in the Alps is a dream for many. Having conquered a multi-thousander, you can test your strength, feel the pristine grandeur of nature, and enjoy fabulous landscapes. For lovers of heights, we offer several routes:

  1. Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps and Europe, excluding the peaks of the Caucasus, located on the border of Italy and France. There are many routes to Mont Blanc, from extremely difficult and technical to relatively simple. Our company is ready to organize for you a memorable trip to the Alps, including the Blitz ascent of Mont Blanc and the so-called “Traverse of Three Summits”. The latter route involves conquering three peaks over 4000 m high at once.
  2. The Matterhorn is a great option for an Alpine hike for those who want to supplement their Mont Blanc climbing program or put into practice the skills they have acquired during a mountaineering course. The Matterhorn is located on the border of Italy and Switzerland and has an amazing four-sided pyramid shape with walls facing different directions.
  3. The Eiger is the most popular, almost 4,000-meter peak in the Alps and the only one that is written with such legendary peaks as the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The mountain is known above all for its impressive north face, which is considered one of the most difficult to hike in the Alps. With our guides, you can conquer this peak via the Mittellegi ridge. This route requires good climbing skills and mountaineering techniques.

For those who have no experience in conquering high peaks, we offer training at the mountaineering school in Chamonix, a famous ski resort in France. The city, located under Mont Blanc itself, is considered a paradise for skiers, climbers and other lovers of active recreation. Our intensive course will give you more ideas about climbing and hiking in the Alps, improve your level of training on rocks and ice, and leave many pleasant memories. The classes will be conducted by certified instructors and guides with extensive experience. After the course, you will be able to confidently undertake your own ascent of the Alps, including conquering the highest peaks.
