Meiringen Tours and Trips

Hotel was quirky but very good. Exceptionally clean, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. The apps provided were extremely detailed and helpful and there was no chance of getting lost. Basing our stay in one location and giving us the flexibility to easily modify our plans worked really well for us.

We had a fantastic trip! The hikes were thoughtfully devised to maximize scenic views and quaint villages along the way. There were multiple options to shorten hikes by jumping on a bus, train, tram or gondola and with the maps and written guides traveling in these region is fairly easy to do. The hotels were clean but a few folks in our group had some issues (tiny rooms and bathrooms, funky smells, windows that didn't open and no views) and regretted not paying for the hotel upgrade. My wife and I were pleased with our rooms and also didn't spend much time in them!

Our 8 days Berner Oberland hiking trip was absolutely breathtaking.. from Meiringen to Zermatt Switzerland took our breath away.. The accommodations were perfect and well appointed. Grindalwauld, Lauderbrunnen, Zermatt, offered many different hikes for all levels, and using our Berner Oberland pass offered many transportation options during our hikes. The weather was perfect during our stay. All the inns offered very nice European breakfasts. Our only complaint was the Lauerhorn inn in Grindelwald. Rooms were wonderful. Connie the innkeeper was very curt and unfriendly. Never a welcome or a thank you to all four of us. The elevated was broken and never offered help to get our bags from the basement to our rooms. Her husband on the other hand was very kind and helpful. That was our only complaint on the whole trip, everyone else at all the accommodations were so wonderful, warm and welcoming. Switzerland is a magical and glorious part of the world, nothing could surpass the hiking and views we experienced. The company does a great job.

We had a great time on this trip. All the hotels and hikes lived up to (high) expectations! One of us had a food allergy, and the hotels were aware and handled it well.

This trip exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect for breathtaking 'must do' hikes in the Swiss Alps. The hotel was comfortable, close to transport, and the food was exceptional. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to do a value-for money walking holiday in Switzerland.

They provided excellent support from beginning to end on our trip. The hotels they use are great, and their route notes and gps files are great. Some advice if you're considering the Berner Oberland trip and you've read this far: stay flexible in your planning, and do some of your own research on activities that aren't hiking in the areas. The weather was pretty lousy when we arrived and stayed wet/overcast for the first 3 days or so, so we ended up completely rearranging/changing the routes we planned to hike. We packed hiking clothes for all weather though (as you should too!), and managed to stay comfortable and dry even being outdoors all day. And keep in mind until you travel to Zermatt, everything is (more or less) within an hour's reach by train. We ended up getting a beautiful sunny day on our 2nd day in Lauterbrunnen, so we traveled from there to Widerswil to get to Schynige Platte (actually a shorter train ride than if you left from Meiringen), and took two short train rides from Grindelwald back to Lauterbrunned after the hike. It was well worth the shuffle, and wasn't at all difficult thanks to the ease of use of Swiss trains and the close proximity of all of these mountain villages. My one complaint is that you'll want more time in each town proper, but that's not their fault, and if you have the means, you could always extend days with their help. It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful part of the world, and they made it a breeze to experience. Thanks!
