Via Alpina de Luxe
A hotel-to-hotel hiking journey through the Swiss Alps –
for women who want comfort, connection & adventure.

Four days of hiking through the Swiss Alps, along some of the most scenic stages of the Via Alpina. You’ll carry nothing but a daypack — and end each day with a good meal, a glass of wine, and a spa in a beautiful boutique hotel.
This journey is for women who love the mountains, but also the joy of soft sheets, deep rest, and meaningful connection.

Day 1 – Arrival in Kandersteg

Our first day is all about arriving and settling in. If you can, come early to enjoy the hotel’s spa before our adventure begins. Please make sure to arrive by 6 PM for the group briefing, followed by a welcome dinner at 7 PM. A cosy first night awaits — rest well before we hit the trail!


Day 2 – Oeschinensee: the perfect start

We start strong, hiking up to the turquoise waters of Oeschinensee — one of the most beautiful lakes in the Alps and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s the perfect place to slow down, breathe in the mountain air and feel the outside world fade away. After exploring the lake area, we head back to our boutique hotel for a relaxing spa moment and dinner.

8 km, 450 m up, 450 m down, ±3h (not including breaks)


Day 3 – Over the pass to Adelboden

After a good night’s sleep, we leave Kandersteg and ascend to the Bunderchrinde Pass, where views of the Lohner range reward every step. We descend into the charming village of Adelboden — known for its traditional wooden chalets — and settle in at a luxurious spa hotel to rest and recharge.

12 km, 1251 m up & down, ±7h (can be shortened with a taxi, not included)


Day 4 – Through the Wildstrubel to Lenk

We cross the Wildstrubel massif via the scenic Bummerenpass. Surrounded by peaks and silence, this is mountain hiking at its best. If needed, we can shorten the descent with a cable car. In Lenk, we treat ourselves to a stay at the region’s most beautiful hotel and share a celebratory dinner on our final evening.

10 km, 838 m up, 110 m down, ±7h (can be shortened with lift, bus or taxi, not included)


Day 5 – A relaxed finish

Our final hike is gentle but stunning. We visit a waterfall and trace the path up to its hidden sources — the perfect place for a slow picnic in nature. Back in Lenk, we say our goodbyes. You’re welcome to enjoy the spa until 3 PM before heading home.

11 km, 200 m up & down, ±3h
