Get in touch to find out what’s available. Pick ups and drop offs available with our comfortable 9 seater van.
Summer or winter, a fast paced run or a leisurely stroll, Alp Trails can help you realise your ambitions
Hiking
It is difficult to beat the feeling of satisfaction after a day of hiking mountain trails, especially when the experience is shared with a group of friends, family or like-minded people. Alp Trails can help to enrich this experience by providing a professional and knowledgeable guide who will shape a day of hiking around the needs of the group and always find the right balance between enjoyment and challenge.
Trail running
Trail running has exploded in popularity in the Alps in recent years. It’s a dynamic way to enjoy the mountains, covering greater distances and relishing the challenge of big climbs, moving at speed across technical terrain and exhilarating descents. Running with Alp Trails, it’s not necessary to be breaking records though. Safety and enjoyment are always our primary goals and there’s always plenty of time for photo opportunities plus coffee and cake breaks!
Snowshoeing
Looking for peace and tranquility in the mountains? Snowshoeing can be one of the best ways to escape the hustle and bustle of the often busy resorts and explore tucked away places, best accessed on snowshoes when the snow lies deep. The relaxed pace of snowshoeing gives us plenty of time to appreciate our surroundings, learn about the winter environment and admire the snow covered peaks.
Special focus tours
Besides our regular hiking tours, Alp Trails is pleased to offer tailor-made days out with a special focus on one of a number of mountain related topics: alpine flowers, geology, the winter mountain environment, local food & drink, plus more. In addition to these we are offering a WWII battlefield tour combined with hiking on the Plateau des Glières near Annecy and The Grand Bornand.
