Program Overview: Back-to-Nature Hiking Adventure in Wallis, Switzerland


Every day, our journey will lead us to the shores of breathtaking mountain lakes or along pristine riverbanks. While the exact locations remain a surprise until registration, I can assure you that each spot will be a slice of paradise. Here’s what you can expect:


Day 1:
We will meet at a designated location in Wallis, Switzerland, which will be shared with you upon registration. Over a welcoming cup of tea or coffee, I will check your equipment to ensure everything is in order. Next, we’ll divide the food supplies for the coming days and bid farewell to civilisation as we embark on our journey. By early evening, we’ll arrive at our first campsite beside a magnificent mountain lake. After setting up camp, we’ll relax and enjoy drinks in the peaceful alpine surroundings.


Day 2:
Start the day with a refreshing dip in the lake (if you dare!) or simply enjoy a hearty breakfast amidst the mountain serenity. After packing up our gear, we’ll set off for the next leg of our trek. Our second campsite will be equally picturesque, located along the banks of another stunning mountain lake.

Day 3:

Awake to the crisp alpine air and the sound of nature gently stirring around you. After a satisfying breakfast, we’ll break camp and begin the next stage of our journey. Today’s trail takes us through a variety of landscapes: from lush green meadows to rocky paths that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Along the way, we’ll take a leisurely lunch break at a scenic spot, allowing you to recharge while soaking in the beauty of the mountains. By late afternoon, we’ll arrive at our third campsite, nestled in a serene valley near yet another sparkling mountain lake. As the sun sets, casting golden hues across the landscape, we’ll share stories and enjoy a hearty dinner under the stars.


Day 4:
By now, the back-to-nature experience will have worked its magic—you may find yourself reluctant to leave! Fortunately, we’ll still have several hours of trekking ahead of us, giving you time to soak up the last moments of this wild adventure. The journey will conclude at a designated location where we will celebrate with a delicious lunch on a sunny terrace, easing our way back into civilisation.
