View full itineraryThis destination is best suited to guests who want to hike every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and hiking trails, there are few, if any, non-hiker options available. If a non-hiker wants to accompany a hiker guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-hikers from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866-464-8735 for trip suggestions where more non-hiker activities are available, such as:
We've got you covered on and off the trail! During our hiking and walking trips, you'll never venture alone. A guide will be with you on the trail at all times.

And when you're not hiking, our guides are at your service for anything you need—from booking massage appointments to helping you find that special local treat you've been craving.

The summer months in the Alps can bring warm days, ranging from the mid 60s to low 80s (18-27C), with evenings dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s (13-18C). When traveling in the Alps, it is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly. There is always the chance of snow and rain. We recommend always traveling with rain gear, as well as plenty of breathable layers to provide warmth when the temperature drops.
