Alpinehikers

Jumping for joy on the Bernese Oberland Traverse. One of our favorite Mountain Inns is at Obersteinberg.

As Vince & Jeanette show, be prepared for varied weather on any hike; especially with a Tour du Mont Blanc trip.

Randy & Tom on their self- guided Bernese Oberland Traverse told us: "The trip was great. Food and accommodations were all good. The weather was mostly very good…we had rain on the climb to Obersteinberg so we were soaked inside and out on arrival and some fog on the day hike out of Mürren. At Griesalp, we ran into Heather & Hayden who were very helpful with our decision to skip Hoturlhi pass because of the snow. They also helped us navigate the transport to Kandersteg so please thank them again for us. The Bernese Oberland area is spectacularly beautiful and thanks to Troy for steering us in that direction. The hike from Obersteinberg to Murren and then the hike from Murren to Griesalp were both special."

Wendy picked prime views to show her joy and expressed some wisdom for other travelers: "The trip was amazing. Everything went well except for the weather which is beyond our control. The guides were professional, the hikes well prepared and appropriate for our ability level, the hotels perfect and the food extraordinary. This is my second trip with Alpine Hikers and I really cannot suggest any improvements except perhaps to emphasize in the pre-trip planning materials not to focus too much on the 10 day weather forecast; that region's weather is fast changing and you need to be prepared for all climates."

Tom and Randy shared their thoughts on their Bernese Oberland Traverse:
"All of the accommodations and food were good. And the staff/owners at all the places were very nice. Bags all arrived as scheduled.
Also want to thank your guides Hayden and Heather for their advice in Griesalp. Hayden also helped with translation as there was initial confusion because we told them we were with Alpine Hikers when we arrived and they thought the larger group was the only Alpine Hikers supposed to be there. Hayden helped with solving the confusion.
