Swiss Hiking for independent travelers


Want the thrill of hiking in the Alps independently without having to plan the entire trip yourself? Alpenwild offers self guided tours for some of our most popular programs. Alpenwild's self-guided Haute Route hiking tour and our self-guided Jungfrau hiking trips are especially popular. Our Appenzell self-guided tour takes you into the scenic splendor and charming comforts of the Alpstein Range, with some of the most spectacular views in the Alps.

Our self-guided tours are really custom tours without the group. It’s a prepaid vacation tailored to your interests, abilities, and budget.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Our trip was fabulous! Couldn't have been better.

HOW TO PLAN A SELF-GUIDED TOUR
If you're not exactly certain what you want to see or do, one smart first step is to look at the itineraries for our guided tours. Using these proven plans as a basis, we can often create a self-guided tour following a similar route and timetable. For example, our Appenzell, Jungfrau, Ticino, Engadine, Haute Route and Best of the Alps itineraries can be easily customized into a self-guided custom trip for just the two of you.
 
Then give us a call. We work with you to plan the itinerary, we book the hotels, and we provide the transportation, meals, and detailed route descriptions. We can even include features such as luggage transfer, hiking guidebooks, and maps. The result—you get a superb alpine vacation at a greatly reduced cost.

If you’re an independent traveler, you want to set your own pace, design your own itinerary, and make your own schedule. Pack your bags, get on the plane, and we do the rest. The tour begins when you arrive in Switzerland, and ends when you decide to go home.

We had a fantastic time in Switzerland. The kids did great. The hiking itinerary was perfect! We are very thankful to you for your thoughtful planning.
