Walk & talk
Breakfast with sunrise over the Alps
Coffee and fresh croissants in front of the sunrise over the Alps
An early start, a headlamp to guide us along paths gradually lit up by the sun, and a coffee to savour the new day
Let's dare to get up early to start our hike in the dark, with the moon, the stars and the headlamps of our group members to light our way. As we walk, we will see the sky light up and guess the deer finishing their night. The mist and dew will remind us that it is still early and that the day will be long and beautiful.
At the top, we will enjoy a fresh coffee, tea with a croissant and a cake that your guide has brought for you. The sun will start to warm us up as we watch the chamois wake up and listen to the birds singing. Then we go down to enjoy a day that hasn't really started yet.

What participants say about this experience
Thanks to Boudewijn for this wonderful day! Thanks to him, we have experienced memories that will remain engraved in our hearts!
My parents-in-law were delighted (and so were we), Boudewijn did his job perfectly! It couldn't have been better..... and his knowledge of animals and nature added an extra touch to this walk.

You'll get immeasurably more from any trek if you seek out local guide and qualified mountain leader, Boudewijn van Doorn of Peak2Peace.
His passion and knowledge about the area's geology, terrain, environment and wildlife make him an essential for any mountain-escapade at any time of year.

"Why would I need a Mountain Leader?" I asked myself. "I've been hiking since I was a kid, I'm fit and I know it all. So no need for a Mountain Leader!" I thought. And then I had the chance to experience a hike with Peak2Peace and my world changed.
Boudewijn takes you in a complete new journey across mountains and nature. He makes you see everything under a new light, he shares stories and information about wild life, geology, nature and history.
Thanks to him I discovered a new, different approach to hiking and learned new things and lots of little secrets.
So today I go out as much as I can with Boudewijn as Mountain Leader because each time he takes me on an incredible, immersive, new journey in full security.

Boudewijn ticked all the boxes for a good guide, sharing knowledge, adding context to the destination, describing natural history and geology, and offering insights on contemporary issues. He also made great lemon and ginger tea!

Sunset with rising supermoon over the Alps
After climbing a Jura summit, come and watch a sunset synchronised with the rising of a super full moon. At this moment our two main stars are almost on the same axis with the earth. To witness such a spectacle from the heights is an unforgettable experience
