Iconic hikes, unique adventures, and gourmet discoveries in the Alps.
Alpine Experiences Crafted for the Curious
Crapahuter curates guided mountain experiences in the Swiss Alps designed for people who want more than a standard hike. Whether you dream of completing a legendary multi-day traverse, discovering hidden valleys unknown to most visitors, or sitting down to a raclette prepared by an artisan shepherd at 2,000 metres — you will find it here.
Every experience is led personally by Matthieu, a passionate mountain guide based in the Valais. Small groups, deep local knowledge, and a genuine commitment to slow travel are the core of what Crapahuter offers.
What Kind of Alpine Experience Are You Looking For?
Classics — Tackle the great trails of the Alps: the Chamonix–Zermatt traverse, the Tour du Wildhorn, or the Via Alpina. These iconic multi-day routes are supported with full logistics, accommodation booking, and a personal guide.
Originals — Go beyond the guidebooks. The Sanetsch Pass, Val d’Anniviers, and Val d’Hérens are spectacular valleys that remain largely undiscovered — ideal for those who want solitude, stunning scenery, and a true sense of exploration.
Terroir — Slow down and eat well. Crapahuter’s Terroir experiences combine hiking with authentic encounters: a lunch at a mountain farm, a visit to a goat cheese producer in Grimisuat, or a guided tasting through the terraced vineyards of Valais.
Practical Information
Most experiences run from May to October. Group sizes are kept small, typically 2 to 8 participants. Crapahuter is based in Valais, Switzerland, and all guides speak English and French. Custom itineraries are available on request — contact us to build your perfect Alpine adventure.
