6 days, planned by Cypress & Stone

Saxeten is where everyone starts — short abseils, water slides and a jump nobody has to do. The techniques matter more than the height.

Polished granite narrows with abseils into pools, and it is cold — Swiss canyon water runs at about eight degrees whatever the air is doing.

“Walking in Europe with the timed tickets booked at release”
A walking operator whose main skill is administrative: Alhambra slots, Sagrada tickets and hut beds, booked the day they open.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would send friends their way.

Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Bernese Oberland was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Good value for what's included.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Around eight degrees, glacier-fed, whatever the air temperature is doing. You wear a 5mm wetsuit with hood and the guides watch for people going quiet — that is what cold looks like before shivering starts.
