Limited places – book your escape now!

Day 1 : Ascent to the summits. Meet at the valley station of the Lenk Betelberg cable car. From here, we begin our ascent to the Wildhorn Hut (2,300 m). During the 5-hour hike, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the Bernese Alps. Enjoy a quiet, starry night in the hut, far from light pollution, to recharge before the next stage.

Day 2 : Following the glaciers’ trail. Head towards the Wildstrubel Hut, perched at nearly 2,800 m, through a mineral landscape of rock, glaciers, and sparkling alpine lakes. This roughly 6-hour stage involves crossing several passes before reaching our overnight refuge. The region reads like an open book on Earth’s history: along the way, you’ll discover the colossal forces that shaped these heights. Second night in the hut.

Day 3 : Spectacular descent via the bisse. To conclude the trek, a final 6-hour hike leads us to Crans-Montana. Gradually descending from high altitudes, we’ll follow the historic Bisse du Rho, dramatically suspended along the cliff. A memorable finale with unique viewpoints before returning to the valley by public transport in the late afternoon, your mind filled with unforgettable images.
