Who is this event for?
- Winter Walking Week is open to anyone – individuals, families, friends, and groups are all welcome. It’s an especially good fit for Ranger/Rovers and university Guide/Scout groups, leaders looking for an adventure without their group, physically active Trefoil Guild groups, and families with older children. Participants do not have to be members of Guiding/Scouting.
- A moderate level of fitness is required – the walks are taken at a gentle pace with plenty of breaks, but do involve walking for several hours and steep up and down hill sections. Walking boots are required and walking poles are recommended (we have some available to borrow).
- There is a recommended minimum age of 14. Younger children with hiking experience (any season) may also be able to join subject to approval prior to booking.
What activities are involved?
Winter Walking Week includes four guided winter walks on groomed snow trails, three of which involve gondola/cable car rides, and one optional sledding day. There are lots of opportunities for fun and friendship as you explore the magic of the Swiss Alps in winter. In the evenings we offer varied evening programmes with opportunities to learn about Swiss traditions, get to know our international staff, and put your competitive spirit into action!
When can I book?
Details of the walks and prices will be released in September 2025. Bookings also open at this time.
