Fabulous tour company. No detail overlooked in the planning. Just returned from the full Bernese Oberland trip. It was wonderful.

A wonderful weeks walking in the Swiss Alps, azure lakes nestled amidst 
towering ice-capped crags and gourmet dining. Even with mixed weather a 
wonderful getaway.
The first glimpse of the sparking cobalt blue Oeschinensee lake in the 
sunshine, with the toerung cliffs around with waterfalls cascading down.

The trains running unfailingly and strictly on time.


This was self-guided.


The walks on the Headwater trip notes were not necessarily the most 
inspiring. They suggest Blausee on Day 1. This is a gravel track that farmers 
use there and back, not challenging, and a waste of a sunny day. Blausee 
itself was VERY touristy, coaches arrive. Worth seeing the lake and trout 
farm, but save this one for a rainy day as we did.

The Klus Gorge walk can be done as a half day activity by going to the bottom 
of the Sunnbuel cable car on the 241 bus from Kandersteg (free with the 
Wanderpass you are issued), cross the bridge, walk up to Waldhaus and back. 
Don't bother with the other section..again gravel track. This means you can 
use the voucher for the trip to Selden to do the Kanderfirn glacier walk 
which is MUCH nicer. Otherwise it is 13CHF each way on the bus to Selden.

Other good walks not mentioned are from Oeschinensee to Freundenhutte (other 
side of the lake from Heuberg). This has an interesting path, crossing 
several waterfalls (bridges provided) and slabs of rock. We discovered it on 
the day we were leaving, and only managed half of it, as we had to leg it to 
Zurich airport. Also another in the Alpbach region up to First was highly 
rated by someone in our group, though we did not have time to try it.

The Sudarampe walk was deemed only OK by those who did it, we did not.


The wine at the hotel was ridiculously expensive. we stuck to the house wine, 
which was actually quite good. The food was superb---varied, fresh and 
utterly delicious.

Try the pool, the unexpected jacuzzi style jets at one end were great for 
tired muscles.

Classic Swiss Alps Walk

I was a bit hesitant to take a self guided tour, but I am glad I did. The 
hotel staff was great and the fact that food was included with the package 
made it a fantastic affordable going abroad trip. The trails are well marked 
and the areas are beautiful. The train ride from Zurich to Kandersteg is 
actually 2.5 hours but the scenery on the route is amazing. If you like the 
outdoors and hiking this is the package for you.

My first Exodus trip but won't be the last. A great trip with a really good, flexible guide who helped make it an extremely memorable trip. The hosts in Chalet Chocolat were full of warmth and charm that added to the adventure, Zohi's cooking was amazing, dinners and cakes just fabulous. The walking was a great pace, hard enough to earn the cake but not too hard to cause injury. The scenery is breathtaking and a great way to get to know the area and fellow hikers. Chamonix is a fabulous French town to spend time in. The whole trip just left me feeling on top of the world!

Mont Blanc Highlights

The activity level is Grade 3 but the experience level is off the scale; a complete holiday experience. Hiking in the most amazing scenery then returning to an authentic French chalet is the perfect option in this area. Our Chalet hosts, Ben &amp; Zohi, were the ‘icing on the cake’, ensuring a stressfree holiday. Zohi’s cakes were something to look forward to at the end of each day’s hiking and the three course evening meals, matched with local wines, were the perfect end to each day. The only way this week could’ve been better was if a week was 14 days.

Such an amazing trip! I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect but the team were amazing. Zohi and Ben catered to our needs with incredible food. The three course dinners were to die for! They also made the chalet feel so homely and welcoming. So many laughs were had! .

From start to finish this trip was AMAZING. The Chalet hosted by Ben and Zohi was so welcoming. I wasn’t sure what to expect when the itinerary said “home cooked meals”... Well, what an absolute treat. A cake after every day, and a 3 course meal which was the most amazing meals each and every day. Sean guiding us each day on the mountain made me feel very confident and comfortable!
