Description
This guided hiking tour from Bourg St Bernard to Champex in the Swiss Alps is a great option for families.
You’ll get to enjoy a few lovely days in nature together! Taking your children on a mountain trip is a great way to teach them about nature and the outdoors.
During these 3 days, I’ll propose several games adapted to the younger members of the family. We’ll also visit a museum and the Botanical Gardens at Champex, among other fun activities.
The whole family will enjoy stunning views of the Swiss Alps. Moreover, the charming little villages along the way will only add to a fantastic experience!
All members of the family need to be able to walk between 4 and 5 hours per day to participate in this hiking tour. We will be staying at a hospice on the first night and at a mountain hut on the second night.
I can guarantee that you’ll all have an excellent time. You’ll go back home feeling renewed. So contact me now and I’ll be happy to be your guide around this beautiful area that I know so well! I can also adapt this program to your wishes, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Mountain Leader
Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.
I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

What people are saying about -Sarah

Frankly, Sarah Kleinknecht is what you dream of having when picking a guide and it is my pleasure to provide a review. My 76 year old mother and I recently went on a 5 day trek through the Alps and it was nothing short of perfect. Sarah is able to perfectly speak 3 different languages however I would argue that her ability to communicate the needs of her clients is her most fluent form of expression. She was easily able to adjust daily excursions depending on weather/ability and planned a life changing adventure. My mother, who as stated is 76, had a perfectly planned course of hikes/trails with challenging yet achievable objectives. Even more so, Sarah is low key a celebrity within the Alps having worked there over 20 years and knew everyone! We were warmly greeted like old friends everywhere we went. She is a positive yet stern guide who keeps safety first yet is always able to provide a laugh. Without a doubt, I would highly recommended Sarah!
