What Our Guests Say...

"This tour was our 3rd trip to the wonderous Grosses Walsertal valley. We cannot speak highly enough of our walking trips with Patrick and Maree. The tour itineraries always give us a great variety of stunning walks as well as the opportunity to enjoy the other special features of the area (of which there are many!) We'll be back for another trip for sure."
Clive & Dawn, Melbourne

"This is much more than a walking tour in the Alps. I have become interested in the culture and gained great insight into alpine Austrian life. A fabulous experience that will remain with me forever."
Margaret C., Melbourne

Who Is This Tour For?

This tour is designed for returning guests - ie. guests who have already been on the 'Classic' tour with us. 

Reason being is that we have had so many people who have returned on tour with us for a second, third or even fourth time that we wanted to create experiences for them that would allow for their continued discovery and enjoyment of the region and its people. 

Our 'Return to Paradise' and 'Return to Eden' tours provide amazing new sights, experiences and moments but at the same time are familiar and give the sense that this place really has become their very own alpine home.

For this 'Return to Paradise' tour, a moderate level of physical fitness is required. Daily walks range from 6 to 12 'alpine' kilometres, may include long ascents and descents, and take in a variety of terrains.
