How it works
Check out our Inspiration page to get ideas about walks and trips to do. We are mostly active in the french-speaking part of Switzerland: Geneva - Lausanne - Neuchâtel - Porrentruy - Fribourg - Sion. We also enjoy visiting historical places, filled with amazingly rich heritage. We love introducing our visitors to the food and the wines of Switzerland too. Another aspect we talk about is the story of the Alps, the geological facts of Switzerland. Our guide Matthew is a geologist, trained at the Lausanne University.
Most of the time, our guests are inspired by some of our tours and then we adapt the tours to suit their needs.
We focus on what we know best: the walks. We can also provide help for places to stay and places to eat in the evenings, but we only invoice the price of the guiding fees.
Our rates are based on the official fees recommended by the Swiss Association of Mountain Leaders (ASAM-SWL), which is part of the international Union of Mountain Leader Associations (UIMLA).
“This was a magical four days of hiking spectacularly beautiful sites along the north shore of Lake Geneva. We felt simultaneously challenged and yet well taken care of throughout. Matthew was personable, knowledgeable, patient and flexible, and we enjoyed his company very much.”
“Matthew was outstanding! We love Matthew. He was so helpful, and knew so much about the environment we hiked through.”
“This was a wonderful experience. Matthew was worth his weight in gold. The walks were well thought-out and Matthew adjusted “on the fly” to suit our abilities. We saw amazing places we’d never have known about otherwise. We did Four one-day walks - Vinyards around Cully, Rocher de Naye, forests, river, waterfall and monestary, the mountains above Les Diablerts Matthew is endlessly knowledgeable on the geology, history, culture and wines of the area. He’s also great fun!! Our walks included wine (and chocolate) tastings each day, sampling from the finest wines of the local area made from types of grape we were previously unaware of such as Chasselas and Plant Robert. I loved every minute of it and can’t recommend Matthew highly enough.”
“Matthew was a wonderful guide and added a lot of knowledge about plants/rocks during our hikes! He was fun to joke around with and always upbeat”
“We had a weeklong tour with Matthew in 2017 and of all the trips we have made, hiking and otherwise, this was the best. Matthew found beautiful and varied types of hikes for each day, and the restaurants and vineyards he found were superb. His knowledge of the wine and geography is deep and he has a wonderful sense of humor. The trip was a joy from beginning to end.”
“Matthew is one of the best...knowledgable, personable, very aware of clients abilities and interests. This is an all-time favorite trip...”
