Adventures to the Edge

   

HIKING & TREKKING IN EUROPE

Chamonix to Zermatt Haute Route Trek         Trekking in the Italian Dolomites

There are not enough words to describe the beauty experienced while hiking through these mountain pastures and rocky passes.  High alpine lakes dot the landscape between wildflower filed meadows. Sharing this experience with a companion is sure to lift your spirit to new heights. These treks are a must do for families and friends who enjoyed hiking together. Wonderful high mountain huts, alpine hotels, hostels and haciendas offer great hospitality and allow you to travel with just a day pack. The brilliance of backpacking without the heavy pack.
