Wengen is a lovely car-free mountain town at 1 274 m (4 180 ft). It's located on a big cliff between Lauterbrunnen and Männlichen so the views are just stunning! Me and my little dog friend would like to take you to the most charming part of town. This is where the first residents of Wengen settled, now a small habitat of a few farms. This place will show us the true beauty of the Swiss countryside full of cheeses from local farmers and variety of animals. Along the way, we will see beautiful views of the famous Jungfrau, Mürren, Schiltorn (place of James Bond movie production) and the Lauterbrunnen valley literally all the time. However, views are not everything - we will pass a local farm, where we will have opportunity to buy ice cream, cheese and cold cuts directly from the farmer. Prepare some cash for this occasion. There are various animals on the farm, such as donkeys, llamas, alpacas, goats and, of course, cows grazing along our trail. *If you're not a dog fan, he can stay home.

If you too like to get to know new places while hiking and running around, you will like my sporty sightseeing tour in and around Bern. Your stamina will be rewarded with wonderful views and different perspectives on Bern. The tour starts in the center of Bern and takes us through cobbled streets past the most important sights over the most beautiful bridges to the most beautiful views and along the river Aare into nature, which is within reach from anywhere in Bern. The highest point of our tour will be one of our local mountains (Gurten, Bantiger or Ulmiz) from where we will have a wonderful panoramic view to Bern and the Alps which probably will be difficult to leave again. However, in summer maybe the prospect of jumping into the cool water of the Aare or a refreshing ice cream will help and in winter hot chestnuts? Prepare for a distance of around 15 km and 500 m elevation gain but i take individual needs into account. We will take it easy and stop again and again to enjoy, to chat and to take pictures of the beautiful places in and around Bern. Unfortunately there are no changing rooms or lockers for luggage. Please appear directly in your hiking or running clothes.

We will take off from Mount Niederbauen for a Panorama flight (10-20 minutes) in Emmetten. If it's possible we will try to flight over the peak of Niederbauen. From there you have an amazing view over the lake Lucerne and to Gotthard, the main reach of the Alps. We can choose other take offs like Engelberg or Biehlen. It always depends on the wind for this day. There are a lot of different landing and takeoff places around. This is the reason cause Swiss is one of the best countries for paragliding and "hike and fly" tours. We can take off and land almost everywhere if the landowner allows it. The basic requirement for the start is that the passenger is able to walk a few steps because we have to accelerate for the start in order to take off. The landing is relatively easy, as the pilot and passenger straighten up and take a step before touching the ground. After landing there is the possibility to have a look and purchase photos and videos (cost 30 franks extra) made during the flight by the pilot. Other things to note: Costs for cablecar, parking, transfer are NOT INCLUDED to the price. Paragliding is not an extreme sport in Swiss by the opinion of the insurance. The possibility to get hurt is much lower than with skiing or driving a motorbike. There are more than 14000 active pilots in Switzerland.

Discovery of the Domaine Bertholet cellar then a walk in the vineyards of Villeneuve with fondue on the way This walk is by ITSELF but is organized by Domaine Bertholet, a family farm of winemakers and winemakers for 4 generations. The experience starts at the Domaine Bertholet cellar in the center of the village of Villeneuve (Grand-Rue 36) with a visit to the cellar with the winemaker and the tasting of 3 wines (about 60 min.) Then we will give you the map of the walk and the key to the capit in the vineyards. A regular climb will take you to Villeneuve's more or less sloping vineyard. After a small hour's walk (rather steep and know how to read a map... for the course), you will access the capite in the vineyards where you can prepare yourself and alone your fondue (according to the recipe) accompanied by the white wine "Chasselas" from the Domaine. From here you will enjoy, while eating and enjoying a good glass of wine, a beautiful view of the lake beyond the vineyard. When the heart tells you, you'll reach the checkout in 3/4 hour. Other things to note The start of the experience is either at 10: 30 a.m. for lunch or at 4: 30 p.m. for evening meals (allow at least 3: 00 a.m.) *Possibility to go for a walk without tasting *This experience can be hosted for more than 6 people upon request

Our hike's destination is Grammont - a peak in the Chablais Alps, directly across the lake from Montreux. Grammont is also the site of 'Taurendunum event', when in 563 AD a massive landslide caused a tsunami on Lake Geneva. The first part of the trail takes us from the small mountain village of Miex to the milky-blue waters of lake of Taney. On its shores there is an alpine inn, which is a perfect stop for a snack or a drink. The toughest part comes next. For about 2 hours, we will be going only uphill with the path first starting as a paved road and gradually transforming into narrow path. We will cross alpine pastures used by shepherds to graze the cattle during the summer. Conquering the summit, we will be rewarded with a breath-taking view of the Swiss Riviera and Lavaux Vineyard Terraces (UNESCO World Heritage Site), unseen from elsewhere. For the way down, we will take a barely used trail that will take us through the dense forest on the southern slope of Grammont. We will end our journey in picturesque town of Le Bouveret, where you will take a boat back to Montreux. Other things to note I will plan the hike in accordance with local weather forecast and adjust the itinerary if necessary. Public transport and boat tickets not included. The length of this hike is 20.03 km (12.45 miles) with a total ascent of 1'229 m (4'032 feet).

The tandem paraglider is specially built to support the weight of 2 people: the pilot and the passenger. In order to be a passenger no previous experience is needed, you don't need to be particularly fit and we don't have any age requirements. The first step is reaching to our take off. Our take off is accessible by the Buelen cable car, which is a 2 minute drive from the train station Grafenort. Once we get to the take off, it takes about 15 minutes to get ready for the take off. The tandem pilot prepares the wing, helps the passenger to gear up and gives the briefing to the passenger. In a few steps we are airborne and then you can relax and enjoy the flight. The landing is easy. We just make a few steps over the ground. Our landing is located close to our starting point, next to the cable car station. The flight time is around 10 minutes. On request we also organize special flights like: sunrise flights, hike and fly or one day cross-country paragliding. We offer photo&video service for an extra 30 CHF. Other things to note Please be aware that this is an outdoor activity. Best is if you have your own hiking boots, wind breaker trousers and jackets. If not, please wear sports attire.

We will start off by taking the train to the village of Wilderswil. If you are not familiar with the region, please let me know and I will help you plan your route. We will follow the hiking trail along the Saxetenbach river through the Sytiwald forest. This trail is barely frequented by the locals or tourists, so you will get to immerse yourself completely in the mystical alpine forest domain. Once through the forest, we will arrive in the secluded Saxettal valley with Saxeten village at the center of it. This village is a breath of fresh air from the tourist Meccas of Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. If you want to properly visit the village or buy local freshly made cheese, please count a detour of 1h - 1h30. After Saxeten we will continue hiking up through the forest to Abendberg - an abandoned hotel. From there we will enjoy one of the best views of Lake Brienz before going back down to Wilderswil. This is a mountain hiking trail, so good shoes are absolutely necessary. This is a round-hike and it will end at the same point where we started. I will plan the hike in accordance with local weather forecast and adjust the itinerary if necessary. If you are feeling confident, we may also take a slightly longer trail. The length of this hike is 19.46 km (12.09 miles) with a total ascent of 1’001 m (3’284 feet).
