There were only 8 people in our tour group. All the guests were pleasant, and we all got along great. Everyone was considerate of the time and our fellow passengers. The group leader Angie and our coach driver Mattheo were both wonderful. We were escorted by our group leader who had all the plans perfectly timed with no stress getting to any place. Our driver Mattheo was always at our location to pick us up on time. The trip was amazing. The scenery along the coast of Italy and Switzerland was breathtaking. The many modes of transportation made it a very interesting and an exciting trip. We never lacked for any beautiful scenery along the way. The hotels were all very nice and the luggage service at each location was great. My only complaint is that the food in Switzerland was very expensive and not the best for the price you had to pay as compared to Italy where the meals were great. We enjoyed our little excursions that were planned for us. One of my favorites was the cooking class and wine tasting in Verona Italy. The chocolate factory in Switzerland was also a favorite. The overall trip was great, and I would highly recommend it.

Walking high in the mountains on the Bernese Highlights West offers a more challenging route than the Bernese Highlights East. Amazing views are the reward for your efforts and at every turn in the way you will be greeted by some of the most dramatic mountain scenery to be found in Switzerland - if not the whole of Europe. However, if you wish to opt out of any day's walk or should inclement weather descend, it is possible to travel between all overnight stops by public transport.
Starting in perhaps the most beautiful village in the Bernese Oberland, perched high up above the Lauterbrunnen Valley is Murren. Above Murren rises the great peak of the Schilthorn, with its revolving restaurant made famous by James Bond. Walk up and over the high pass of Sefinenfurgge and continue to the remote valley of Griesalp, set against the backdrop of the Bluemlisalp massif. Continue through the Hohturli pass where views are utterly magnificent! Get up close to a number of glaciers in addition to the turquoise waters of Lake Oeschinensee in its stunning setting above Kandersteg. Set within the beautiful Kander valley, Kandersteg is home to an extraordinary amount of diverse Alpine flowers. Follow stunning mountain paths with incredible panoramic views before descending into the mountain village of Adelboden for the night. Another mountain pass awaits you as you head over to Lenk across scenic alpine meadows. Finally, you cross Trutlisbergpass, then down the valley to Gstaad, which despite being known for its prestige has remained truly Alpine.
