Step into the high-alpine drama of Valais, where old pilgrim routes meet rugged Swiss beauty. The Tour du Saint Bernard is a 5-day loop full of spiritual history, wild trails, and cheese-fueled hut life. You'll hike from valley to valley, sleeping in places like the famous Hospice du Grand Saint Bernard, where silence and stone speak volumes.

This trek is made for hikers who want a deeper connection to the mountains. It’s not extreme, but it’s no walk in the park either. Expect long days, quiet trails, and views that make you stop mid-step. Some nights you’ll share stories over dinner, other times you'll prep your own in a hut kitchen — either way, the setting is hard to beat.

It’s the Alps stripped back to what matters: simple, soulful adventure on ancient trails. For those who like their hiking classic—with a twist of legend.
