A Typical Day in the Alps
Sunlight filters into the room through mountain peaks to waken hikers to the quiet and inspiration that a morning meditation creates for the day ahead. A bountiful breakfast buffet of local fresh fruits, eggs, breads, museli, and cheeses awaits to nourish and support hikers as we put boots to trail at 8:30am for the challenging trek through alpine forests and pasturelands. Climbing in elevation to our mountain hut for lunch, we are rewarded for our hard work by the company of majestic snow covered peaks, a beer, and local cheeses- meats and breads. The afternoon hike descends through the beauty of fresh mountain air, the sound of cowbells and fields of wildflowers to our beautiful mountain village. A most welcome afternoon yoga stretch opens and soothes tired feet and legs as we arrive at our cozy hotel. Showers, saunas and steam, a saunter into the village to explore the shops, and postcard writing follow before a cocktail and our delicious 4-5 course meal around 7pm. Time for a glimpse at the dark starry night skies, then off to our cozy beds as we tuck ourselves in with warm down pillows and duvets surrounded by the comforting presence of the mountains and the quiet night air.

Diana's AliveAnew Switzerland trip was life changing for me. The trip gave me the time I needed for introspection and the instruction I needed to mentally slow down and prepare for a vigorous hike. Diana is a confident, well trained, and organized leader who has an easy-going and cheerful personality. She expertly guided us through the magnificent Alps. It was so much fun!
