To make an enquiry or for a bespoke itinerary please fill out the enquiry form below.
The small Swiss town of Kandersteg provides the ideal inspiration for both trekkers and artists. During your holiday you will be guided on walks to beautiful locations where you will have plenty of time to fill your sketch book and canvases or take photographs. You won’t be stuck for ideas as there is plenty of subject matter from Swiss traditional architecture, mountain landscapes, turquoise lakes, glacial rivers and alpine flowers. You will be taken walking up to Lake Oeschinensee a large alpine lake caused by rock fall, the cool waters of Blausee Lake which is used for fish farming, along the Gastern Valley a natural habitat for many plant species and the Gemmi Pass, a historic trail that links the 2 cantons of Berne and Valais and also the BLS Railway experience trail which leads you along the north ramp of the Lötschberg Railway. On your days off you may like to take the train through the Lötschberg tunnel and spend your day bathing at the Brigerbad thermal baths or to take the Victorian chair lift up to the lake and then try a toboggan ride!
