Itinerary

Set your sights on Switzerland’s most stunning vistas with the 'Alpine Pass Route'—a 14-day self-guided walking journey that ranks among Europe’s premier alpine adventures. Starting in Engelberg and concluding in Saanen, this trip traverses the heart of the Bernese Oberland, guiding you over legendary mountain passes, through flower-filled valleys, and into charming alpine villages.

The route’s moderate-to-challenging sections are balanced by the availability of lifts and cablecars, enabling you to tailor each day’s hike to your comfort level. Overnight stays in well-connected locations ensure flexibility, even in unpredictable mountain weather, and three built-in free days allow for extra exploration or relaxation. Highlights include views of Switzerland’s iconic peaks and the opportunity to visit attractions like the Jungfraujoch.

What sets this tour apart is its seamless blend of natural beauty, cultural encounters, and logistical convenience—making it accessible to fit, experienced travelers and seniors who crave both challenge and flexibility. For those who dream of classic alpine trekking paired with Swiss hospitality, the Alpine Pass Route is a walk to remember.
