Aleksei was our tour guide. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Could not have asked for a better paced walk. Not too fast, not too slow. Really recommend it as an alternative to skiing—I had skied the past few days before and, honestly, needed to change it up. Great way to do so. Bravo!
This tour gave me the chance to experience the Swiss Alps for a couple hours, in way that would have otherwise been impossible, considering transportation, time and equipment. Snowshoeing along a snowy path high within the Swiss Alps was almost surreal as it's truly one of the most beautiful winter wonderlands you can imagine. The guides were professional yet personable. Danny kept things light while at the same time made sure to keep us safe, especially on the way back down. Coming from someone who considers themself active and fairly fit, this still was a definite workout but it was doable and you could continue on at your own pace. If you have a chance to do this tour, I 💯 advice you to go for it.
Interlaken is a really good place to base yourself if you want to explore the area. We were overwhelmed when we arrived and saw all the millions activities there are. However, we got all the info we needed explained at the tourism center. I’d recommend the day passes as they are much cheaper than buying tickets individually. Nearby towns and the views from the Alps were amazing! The one thing I noticed is that must workers at the buses, trains, gondolas are very rude. They seem tired of dealing with tourists everyday.
We signed up for the 9 am Snowshoeing tour the night before but were informed on arrival that the tour was unable to happen because there were not enough sign-ups. However, they were very helpful on offering alternative options and ultimately provided us with a much better experience on the 1 pm tour with a fantastic tour guide(Danny). They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and the Van ride was euphoric! Great tunes! Great views!
The views were amazing!! Had a great time. I didn’t do any skiing or anything else on my trip so this was a great way to get out in nature and play in the snow. Danny is AMAZING as a guide. We had a small group and it felt like friends hanging out in the mountains. 100/10 would recommend this experience.
