Hiking, biking and surfing the Alps with Swisskisafari

20 Jul Hiking, biking and surfing the Alps

Posted at 14:22h in Hiking, Inspiration, Summer by

We love to hike and bike across international borders on our trips. You’ve probably heard us say that the best mountain hiking and biking routes don’t respect political boundaries. And we love to push a boundary.

For the first time ever, we are excited to announce a new high altitude buzz available along some of our favourite spots between France and Switzerland: surfing. Yep, you read that right: you can now surf in the Alps. Switzerland’s Alaia Bay complex has two waves with stunning views of snow-capped mountains, a panoramic viewing balcony, fun restaurant and surf shop. So now you can bike, hike and then surf the Alps all in one day.

This season we have also received requests for biking and hiking on the same trip. This can take a little juggling but boy is it fun to combine all three, especially with electric bikes involved to cover more ground. Why not book in an action-packed mountain adventure with a difference? Combine hiking, surfing and biking in the Alps for an unforgettable mountain adventure.

Record temperatures in Europe this season

As Europe’s temperatures soar this week we are glad to be at altitude where it is still fresh and the hiking is beautiful. Alongside the unthinkable climate issues this highlights, for us these high temperatures affect the glaciers which means last-minute itinerary adjustments. We do not hesitate to choose a lower level hike if the high altitude one is not right. Nature is in charge up here and we need to be flexible and knowledgeable enough when the conditions call for a plan B.

Winter planning has started

It is hard to imagine in this heat but, yes, winter planning is in full swing. To get the best hotels and the finest rooms we like to plan in advance. It is much better to plan the perfect trip in advance than scrape together an itinerary around the hotels that have availability.

Your dreams of surf, sun, hike and bike

So whatever your dreams of the mountains may involve, you can now add surfing to them. We love the most complicated requests as they are the ones that challenge us to think outside the box. We like to try and tackle things from a different perspective and bring you into the fold to help us make your dream trip a reality.

Get in touch for hiking, biking and surfing in the Alps.

Wishing you a great summer.

Warm Regards from the mountains,

Danielle
