Hike in Alpine splendor

Hiking in the Swiss Alps with Alyson Adventures

It's easy to get to know the other travelers in our small, friendly, gay and lesbian groups.

An active, outdoors vacation with Alyson Adventures.

From our base in the bustling alpine village of Zermatt, explore 388 kilometers of spectacular and well-marked trails. One day, hike past fields of wildflowers and tall waterfalls; the next, take a cablecar to the frosty world of a mountain glacier.
