“Alpine Hikers was fantastic from the beginning. Eryka Thorley arranged the trip, kept us posted, and dealt with minor panics and answered every query promptly. Mike Cullen helped, too. But what elevated the traverse from wonderful to truly magical was our guide, Jakub Doubic. He is our own, personal Aragorn.
What began as a bucket-list trip cannot be, because we feel way too healthy and strong to kick the bucket before we try more hikes with you. Our cardio status feels like it did 25 years ago, and, despite eating like royalty, we each lost weight to healthier levels. Our Alpine Hikers trip was worth every penny, and we cannot recommend you highly enough. Of course, we will ask for Jakub on future trips! Thank you with all of our hearts.”

“My reviews are Rave! I had a fabulous time. The trip was excellent: re-visiting some places, going to new places, lots of hiking, lovely inns and good food. The pace I chose left more time for closer connection with people and culture: late night dinners with Swiss, visits with school kids, cheese cellar, St. Luc Observatory.
The great planning, organization, communications and customer service from you and everyone I interacted with made for my second smooth, joyful A.H. trip. You all are terrific! Thank you so much!!”

“I wanted to tell you thank you again for planning such an insanely amazing trip for us. Words cannot even do justice to the amount of love we had for every place we visited and explored. It was life changing and truly the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. And the planning and detail that went into the actual travel…it was all SO good. We felt so well taken care of and the whole thing just went so smoothly. Thank you. We’re already dreaming of our next trip.”

“Troy-
I got the trip package in the mail a few days ago. I’m really impressed by the way you have tended to all the details. You clearly love what you do and put care into it. I’m excited for the trip ahead. Also, Abby was very helpful and patient with my somewhat endless stream of questions. Your willingness to provide guidance, from your initial reply to my ongoing exchanges with Abby, far exceeded your competitors and is the reason I chose to work with you. This will surely be a memorable honeymoon.”

While I have a lot of favorite hikes in the Alps, if it comes down to “best hike”, my answer is easy… go to Obersteinberg!
