Join us on a private winter journey, starting as your driver-guide picks you up directly from your accommodation and takes you through the stunning Swiss landscape to the charming village of Erlenbach im Simmental.
Here, your exciting snowshoe adventure in the heart of Switzerland will begin. This guided tour allows you to immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the snow-covered Bernese Oberland.
Snowshoe Tour: Start with a scenic gondola ride from Erlenbach to the Chrindi middle station, where a winter wonderland with frozen lakes, far away from big ski resorts, awaits. Upon arrival at the gondola station at 10.00 a.m., you'll be greeted by your experienced guide, who will provide you with snowshoes and ski poles. For the next 2 hours, you'll embark on a guided snowshoe tour, trekking through pristine, powdery snow. The well-marked path will lead you through the tranquil winter landscape, offering breathtaking views of the Stockhorn Mountain and its surroundings. This tour is suitable for all fitness levels, ensuring everyone can enjoy the winter wonderland.
Fondue Delights in the Igloo: After your invigorating snowshoe hike, you'll arrive at a cozy igloo nestled in the snowy landscape. You'll start with an aperitif to warm you up, followed by a traditional Swiss fondue, and conclude with a delectable dessert. The igloo offers a unique and charming setting, making your meal a truly memorable experience.
Return Journey: Once you've savored the fondue and dessert, you'll begin your journey back to Erlenbach. The gondola will take you back through the stunning winter scenery, giving you one last chance to soak in the beauty of the Swiss Alps before your friendly driver-guide will take you back to your accommodation.
