★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 8 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $530Our pick

Small-group hike in the Swiss Alps near Lucerne, then a chance to cool off in Lake Lucerne, with pickup, lunch, and gear tips.

“Although the weather forecast showed rain for the day, we still went on the hike, and it was so worth it! Luckily, the sun did come out, so don't let a little rain deter you because it most likely won't last all day. Robbe was amazing, supportive, and easy to hike with! The views were breathtaking, and the hike challenged my body in all the best ways. I'd definitely do it again.”

He truly listened to what we were looking for and delivered exactly that. My family and I highly recommend booking an outdoor experience with him!”

We did a 6 mile hike on a moderate route, per our request. He spent the entire time completely engaged with us and explaining flora, fauna, and geography! He communicated several times prior to our hike making sure we were dressed appropriately for the climate and terrain. Petr even picked us up at our hotel!.”

C’était comme dans un compte de fée 🌲✨🧙‍♀️ et il nous a fait la fondue dans une toute petite cabane enneigée au milieu de la forêt. Il était un tour guide génial et extrêmement gentil et on le recommande à toute le monde.”
