Tour character

Especially the walk from Saas Fee and Grächen is difficult. There are exposed sections along the Balfrin High Trail that require surefootedness and a head for heights. The hikes over the many passes lead into alpine terrain at up to 3,000 metres. The sometimes long stages require good basic fitness and experience in alpine hiking.

Arrival by train

Leave the car at home! For every bike, biking or hiking tour in Switzerland, you will receive an SBB coupon per participant, which you can use to deduct CHF 10.- from the ticket price for traveling by train. The reduction can be obtained in the SBB online store or in the SBB app.

On many trips, we use the luggage counters at the stations at the beginning and at the end to hand over the suitcases. You can conveniently combine this right away when you arrive by train. If you are a GA owner, you can provide this information when booking. We will credit you the amount on the invoice. If you don't need the coupon for the trip itself, you can use it during the year. Unfortunately, a retroactive refund is not possible for administrative reasons.
