Introduction
It is your time to experience Europe's breathtaking mountains on our 20-day Alps Explorer. Starting in Zermatt, Switzerland, you'll take in the beauty of the Matterhorn. This three-country hike (远足)will take you around the highest mountain in Europe.
Zermatt &. the Matterhorn
Arrive at Geneva's International Airport, we'll transfer(换乘)to the town of Zermatt in Switzerland's Valais area. Well spend our first few days hiking along the Matterhorn. You'll feel the burn of a tiring climb, but you will also feel the cool Alpine air and see good views of the Matterhorn and its neighboring mountains.
Swiss Alps &. the Aletsch Glacier
From Zermatt, we'll transfer to the small, riverside town of Fiesch. One of Switzerland's famous cable cars(缆车)will carry us up to the high land that is home to the Aletsch Glacier. We'll hike to the car-free mountaintop village of Bettmeralp, and then go down back into Fiesch. From there we'll go to Martigny.
Tour du Mont Blane &. Geneva
In Martigny, we'll set off on the full Tour du Mont Blane. We'll travel ancient footpaths, and climb high mountain passes—on foot! Moving into France, you'll be surprised by the beauty of the town of Chamonix before crossing into Italy and onto the small town of Courmayeur. You can be sure that we'll take time to stop for a real Italian pizza before crossing back into Switzerland. The Tour du Mont Blanc offers a great taste of three different Alpine cultures.
We'll spend our final day in Geneva. After a morning of walking in the Geneva Botanical Gardens, the rest of the day will be yours to experience the city. Finally, we'll meet at the famous Jet d'Eau water fountain(喷泉)to celebrate our unforgettable journey.
