Alps Travel & Adventures
Hiking in the Alps
Traveler and mountaineer Sir Martin Conway called the Alps "the walls of heaven," and, indeed, the scenery is heavenly inspired. Accompanied by a symphony of cowbells, you'll follow scenic alpine trails through forest and field, near glacier and ice. And after a strenuous day of hiking in the Alps, you'll unwind in the evenings at comfortable inns and hotels located in towns of undeniable charm. And on most of our Alps tours, you'll need only carry a light daypack with your hiking essentials. The heavier gear is transported by van to each night's hotel while you devote your day to simply enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of this mountain wonderland.
Whether your desire leans towards seeing the Matterhorn—perhaps the most iconic peak in the Swiss Alps—up close, hiking the famed GR5 through the French Alps to the enticing blue waters of the French Riviera, or trekking the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps on one of our classic Tour du Mont Blanc adventures, we'll show you all the charms of the Alps as only MTS can. We've been offering walking, hiking, and trekking tours here for over 40 years, and our select team of local, career guides—each with over 15 years experience guiding in these mountains—will impart a perspective on the local life and culture that only a native can.
