What to expect

This spectacular small group tour takes you off the beaten track right into the heart of the Swiss Alps! The winding mountain pass roads through sparse landscape offer stunning views of the impressive natural surroundings and ensures a memorable Swiss Alpine adventure.

This small group excursion in a comfortable minibus heads out over the Brünig Pass (1008 meters) to the majestic Bernese Oberland. Visit the remarkable Aare Gorge and cross it on a short walk on secure footbridges and through tunnels to the other end of the canyon. See the blue glacier water of the torrential river, which sculptured this impressive natural wonder in ancient times. After some free time for lunch, you ascend the Grimsel Pass through wild landscapes. On the top (2165 meters), an amazing view over the Dead Lake rewards you.

Continue the trip to the imposing Rhone Glacier located at an altitude of 2300 meters. Walk through the 100-meter long magnificent blue Ice Tunnel to reach the Ice Room. This is a once in a lifetime experience! Warm up with a hot drink and relish the spectacular view down to the valley before you continue to the Furka Pass, the highest point of your journey at 2431 meters. Enjoy the magnificent vistas over Gotthard Massif and the Urseren Valley before you descend to the mountain resort of Andermatt.

Continue through the Schöllenen Gorge with the legendary Devil's Bridge. After a last picture stop, the return journey begins.
