Looking for a high-alpine adventure that’s breathtaking but accessible?
The Aletsch Glacier Panorama Trail is perfect for active hikers who want big mountain views without technical climbing. If you love panoramic trails, remote villages, and hiking at your own pace—this 3-day glacier trek is for you.
Here, you don’t just see the Alps—you walk beside their beating heart. The Aletsch Glacier, at 23 kilometers, is the largest glacier in the Alps. Towering ice, ancient forests, and the silence of altitude combine into something truly extraordinary. This is a chance to witness a vanishing wonder—before it’s gone.
Each day places you on a natural balcony, high above the world, with the glacier to one side and 4,000-meter peaks to the other.
The trail leads you through the Aletsch Forest, home to some of the oldest trees in Switzerland—gnarled, wind-sculpted Swiss stone pines that have stood for over 900 years. Surrounded by silence, glacier views, and the scent of alpine pine, the atmosphere is nothing short of magica
Add in panoramic ridge walks, shimmering glacial lakes, the surreal glow of the Tälligrat tunnel, and the thrill of crossing a 160-meter suspension bridge—and you have a journey that’s rich in drama and beauty from start to finish.ht.
We take care of all the details so you can focus on enjoying your adventure. We book the accommodations and provide a detailed itinerary booklet, GPS routes, and 24/7 support. Our goal is to make your hike as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
This is more than a hike—it’s a rare chance to walk beside a frozen giant, through a landscape shaped by time.

Samo and Eva did a wonderful job in organizing my six-day Slovenian Mountain Trail hike. From the first contact to the delivery of the package with hike details, hut reservations, GPX etc. was efficient. I had a wonderful challenging hike as a solo self-guided hiker. Samo was supportive to the extent possible for my challenging day #4 from Aljazev Hut to Dolicu Hut in very bad weather. All arrangements worked perfectly. Highly recommend them if you want to take the difficulty out of the organization itself and simply enjoy the hiking expereince.


Incredibly route through the Karavank & Julien ranges. Huts were rustic & scenic and all check-ins were smooth. The route guides that Hut-to-Hut provided were extremely helpful, available offline & gave us peace of mind while traveling through new territory. Highly recommend.


Great Trip, Great Company! Nina and her team handled every detail flawlessly. We had originally planned to join a guided group tour, but choosing the flexibility of sleeping in and setting our own pace turned out to be the best decision—and the savings let us upgrade our hotels. The bag-transfer service was seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend them!


We did the five day/four night highlight tour and it was breathtaking! The Tours Du Mont Blanc team was very accommodating of our request for private rooms on the hike (when available) and also with last minute logistics due to the Mount Blanc tunnel closure. Samo and Nina were very responsive and answered all of our many questions :).


I had a wonderful time in the Slovenian mountains. I felt very well taken care of, the GPS routes were just the right length and difficulty and very easy to follow. I received immediate answers to any questions. It was an unforgettable few days! Thank you!


Our walk was brilliant. The maps provided made everything so simple and the accomodation was very good. Having everything organised and nothing to pay for made it so smooth. We were so lucky with the Weather. Only the last 1/2 day was wet. I’m looking forward to our next walk with hut to hut
