Alpine Explorers Reviews 2

Mark organised an action-packed few days in the Alps for me on a recent trip to Switzerland.

We started with a day’s cycling around the lakes near Zug, stopping for coffee breaks along the way and lunch in Brunnen.

The next day we took it easier with electric bikes and a scenic ride to Lucerne, where Mark gave a tour of the city.

Then it was down to business with a two-day hike in the Alps. On the first day, we took a gondola to Bannalp and hiked for six hours to the Ruggelhütte mountain hut. Mark navigated us up and around mountains, past lakes, and through alpine forests, with a stop for lunch along the way. The hut was a fantastic experience, and we arrived in time for dinner. The views over the Engelberg valley and surrounding peaks were unforgettable.

On the second day we left the mountain hut and ascended some more, taking in views of the valley and glaciers, then descended back to Bannalp and returned on the gondola for a much-needed rest.

Mark was excellent from start to finish. He took care of every detail — equipment, logistics, routes, meals, and accommodation. His knowledge of the terrain was reassuring, and he was great company throughout.

I’d highly recommend a tour with Alpine Explorers.

We had an amazing day, we were lucky the weather was gud. The one 2 one experience with the guide was excellent. We went places where normal guides might not go. The guide seemed knowledgeable about the local places. The overall experience was great. Thank you!
