Ana Gabriela Fac

Famke and her dog Olle are great companions to explore the Swiss mountains. On top of being very professional and knowledgeable, she is a very nice person! Highly recommended!

Nienke Veerstra

Famke is a very well prepared guide, who adjust the trip / tour to the level and condition of her guests. She is a pleasent company with a no-nonsense attitude and her very sweet and tough dog, Olle is really an addition to the company. Besides a nice hike through a fantastic environment, you can have good conversations, or just enjoy the silence and maybe (as in our case) encouter a gems or deer!

Felipe Sandoval

Hiking is about you, nature and hopefully someone else who loves being out as much as you do. Famke loves what she does… and you can tell. I would recommend hiking with her to anyone who’s interested in connecting with the overwhelming beauty of nature. Also… hiking is just a great way of meeting nice people. Thanks a lot Famke! See you soon!

This 5-day hut-to-hut Switzerland adventure takes you along one of Valais’ most stunning multi-day routes, beneath the Grand Combin, Vélan, and Mont Blanc massifs. By day, we traverse high passes, turquoise lakes, and glacier vistas; by night, we unwind in welcoming mountain huts and alpine lodges. Smart logistics, small groups, and off-the-beaten-path trails let us fully enjoy classic Valais scenery, wildlife like ibex, and hearty local cuisine.

We meet in Verbier or Le Châble, and hike through high meadows and alpine hamlets, reaching the Mont Fort huts for our first night in the mountains—complete with sweeping panoramic views, at 2,457 m (8,060 ft).

Meals: Dinner
Hiking: 6 hours
Accommodation: Cabane du Mont-Fort mountain hut
Today, we’ll set off to traverse the Mont-Pleureur reserve. Along the way, we’ll pause at Lac de Louvie for a swim if conditions allow, then cross a high col with sweeping valley views before descending into Mauvoisin.

Hiking: 6.5 hours

Famke

UIMLA Mountain Leader

Thanks to her parents, Famke has been spending time in the mountains since a very early age—she was even selected in the Young Netherlands Ski Team! Though Famke soon realized that competitive skiing isn’t for her, she kept on skiing and exploring the mountains with her friends. There’s nothing nicer for her in the world than setting off for a hike with her friends, her dog, and a delicious picnic, which inspired her to sign up for the International Mountain Leader training course in Switzerland. Having completed the course in 2018, Famke’s been taking other travelers to explore the Alps. Whether it’s snowshoeing, trekking, wildcamping, backpacking, or hiking, Famke is happy to show you the beauty of the Alps!

Woody the Dog

Woody is a beloved and an essential member of the team. This cheerful and energetic Golden Retriever is known for bringing good vibes to the group, always making everyone laugh with his playful antics. When Woody suddenly stands still and perks up his ears, you can be sure there are marmots nearby!
