Overview

Lace up your boots to hit the hiking trails of Zermatt with your own personal guide. Avoiding a large group with walkers of varying fitness and skills, the private tour is set up just for your own group so it moves at a pace that’s right for you. You’ll hike with a local guide from Zermatt’s scenic Gornergrat mountain along marked trails that lend themselves to sweeping views of mountain peaks, alpine flowers, and the Matterhorn, of course.

Shorter hike than expected but still worthwhile

Jason S, Jul 2024

David picked us up at our hotel and showed us around the quaint old village of Zermatt before hopping onto the train until we got to the top. We thought we had a 6 hour window to hike before the rain came and we made the most of it. We saw gorgeous views and took some excellent pictures. He pointed out sites and skillfully helped us navigate the hike down from the top. After about 3 hours of hiking it became very apparent to David that we were going to get caught in a storm and he made sure we hustled to the next train station to seek shelter. While the trip was cut short, David made sure our safety and well being were his priority the entire time and guided us with humor and personality. We would recommend him without a doubt.

Great day with Luca in Zermat

Robert & Cristi... G, Sept 2023

My wife and I had a wonderful day with Luca in Zermat. We went up the Gornergrat and hiked down. He was attentive to our physical abilities and selected routes that were appropriate . He was fun to be with and informative about local and Swiss history. We also had a great lunch. Overall we couldn’t be happier with our day with him and would recommend him and Echo tours without hesitation.

3 Day Guided Rail Tour-- Highly Recommend!

38shanicec, Jun 2023

We were lucky to have Rene as our guide on our three day guided tour! We were able to see a lot of what Switzerland had to offer, without feeling rushed. He allowed us to customize our hikes in Gornergrat and see the beautiful Matterhorn! We also got to ride on the Glacier Express and take a cruise on Lake Lucerne. Rene made us feel super comfortable, relaxed, and safe. We didn't have to think or stress about anything, especially train times and transfers because Rene had it all handled which was so helpful! We learned so much about Switzerland from him and we never would have had such a smooth trip without Rene and Echo! We would highly recommend a guided tour with them. We can't wait to come back and experience a different tour!

What such a pleasure for me to be your guide. You two are an incredible couple. Wishing you a wonderful life together. With best, René Welti
