Walking holidays in the Alps, UK and Scandinavia

Hiking with Alpine Exploratory

Welcome to Alpine Exploratory! All our trips are available self-guided, where we book your choice of dates for your group. Since 2005 our mission has been to give the best interpretation of the trails that we walk, allied to friendly service. We also offer guided trips on the Tour du Mont Blanc, Alta Via 1, Walker’s Haute Route, Jotunheimen Tour, and the Bernese Oberland, or can organise your own privately guided trip on any of our routes. We hope to see you out on the trails soon! Simon Stevens, Edinburgh

Exploration

Every spring/summer we travel to each of our destinations to hike the trails and create our Season Update on the trail and the route conditions, that we send to clients.

Flexibility

Choose your preferred hiking dates, accommodation style, and number of days on the trail, and we’ll plan your walking holiday to suit your needs. Or join one of our guided trips!

Friendliness

It’s a pleasure to get to know our hikers from around the world. Our knowledgeable team is here to help before, during and after your holiday with us.
