Elain Witt, Trip Leader, Certified Switzerland Specialist

An avid hiker and culinary explorer, Elain is passionate about the food of the Alps. She’s the perfect trip leader if you’re looking for adventure, food, and fun—alpine style. Elain combines her extensive outdoor experience with her contagious joie de vivre to help create an ideal experience each day. University degrees in History and Mass Communication, and 15 years of teaching at the university level have contributed to her breadth of knowledge and her animated storytelling style. And she loves hearing your stories, too. While raising her family, Elain discovered that delicious food, often inspired by her travels, was a great creative outlet and launched a career in the culinary arts.

She started a cooking school, ran a catering company, was a professional food stylist, and was featured on live television cooking segments. She loves connecting Alpenwild guests with their food through authentic and participatory experiences. With Elain you’ll have unforgettable experiences like hunting fresh truffles in the forest, making Alp cheese over an open fire, creating chocolate ganache with a master chocolatier, or crafting crackling-crusted bread in a 200-year-old wood-fired oven. Elain handles cuisine-focused tours for Alpenwild and often leads our food tours. She’s kept busy with private groups who want a custom tour in the Alps that pairs majestic outdoor settings with great food.
