Via Valais

Reviewed by: John Sype

This trip did not disappoint! Led by guide Giles Ruck, this was one of the most entertaining, picturesque, and active vacations ever. The strategic alternating of fast-packing to huts followed by nights at hotels, offered 8 days of strenuous fun and breathtaking scenery.

Why

Challenging itinerary fast-packing and trail running, ability to see the Alps in a unique way

Advice

Have a solid fitness base with the ability to trail run upwards of 16 miles a day with significant vertical gain (maxed out about 7,000 feet one day) and be ready for some amazing food

Highlight

Summiting Oberrothorn; hammering down a twisty single-track to Trift; seeing the Matterhorn for the first time on the Europaweg trail; scrumptuous food and great company with the other guests and guide Giles
