History and culture

Follow historic trails to hidden cultural gems — where every path tells a story

Our outings bring the landscape's past to life. Each walk is enriched with historical and cultural anecdotes, or focuses on a specific theme: the history of our planet, forest biodiversity, European history, or the tales of the refugees who crossed the French-Swiss border during World War II. Along the way, we pause for local specialities — perhaps at a working alpage
