Craving a high-alpine escape without committing to a long trek? This 3-day adventure in the Valais Alps brings you face to face with glaciers, turquoise lakes, and rugged peaks—packing the drama of the high mountains into a compact, unforgettable journey.
Let us introduce you to Valais—a region of glacier-carved valleys, turquoise lakes, and towering 4,000-metre peaks. This short-format trek captures the drama of the Swiss Alps in just three days. You'll hike past the striking Lac de Moiry, stay in remote huts perched near 3,000 metres, and enjoy sweeping views from high passes like the Pas de Lona and Roc d’Orzival. With well-marked trails, a touch of exposure, and gondola access from Zinal and Grimentz, this adventure is as accessible as it is unforgettable.
We take care of everything—your accommodations, a carefully crafted itinerary and detailed GPS routes, all logistics, and a digital guidebook with trail guidance, maps, and local tips. You’ll know where to go, what to expect, and how to make the most of each day without having to worry about planning.
Let yourself unplug, breathe in the thin, fresh air, and experience the thrill of moving through some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the Alps—just three days is all it takes.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


Daja Gorišek was the travel agent from here who meticulously organised the trek all the way from Meiringen to Lenk im Simmental. She took care of all the details -- from planning the actual trek route, the detailed GPS map for each stage, to the hotels. The actual experience was entirely consistent with what was promised.


Our 3 day hike had to be rearranged 2/2 weather, so a one day hike was arranged for us. We appreciated the concern about weather and conditions. Our hike was with Matevz, who was a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend and will be back for a longer hike one day!
