Our Philosophy
In a market dominated by a handful of very large adventure travel companies who sell standardised trekking trips by the thousands, Alpine Treks stand out as a small dynamic company whose main focus it is to offer a friendly and personalised experience of the highest quality at competitive prices. We have achieved this by keeping the numbers in our groups low, using the best guides and instructors and always be prepared to change our itineraries to suit the needs of our group members and the prevailing conditions. Our trips are run in areas where we have extensive personal experience to ensure that we can provide our members with interesting insights about the local region, be it the alpine flora or the local wine and cheese. We believe that an adventure holiday is not just about the trekking, climbing or skiing, but also very much about experiencing the local culture and making your precious time off as enjoyable as possible. We do not have costly offices, unnecessary administration and plush marketing, so rest assured that the cost of your trip goes towards providing a great service.
The mountains are refuges for many of the planet's most rare animal and flower species. Yet these refuges are increasingly threatened by advancing changes to the land and by changing climate patterns. Glaciers are retreating and permafrost is melting at alarming rates. At Alpine Treks we respect the nature and all of it’s inhabitants. We are committed to running our business and our trips in a way that minimises the negative impacts on the environment. We believe that the saying “Take only memories, leave only footprints” is more valid today than it ever was. We also believe that it is important to preserve the local culture and support the local communities in the areas we visit. We kindly ask that our group members do the same on our trips.
Alpine Treks is a full member of The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust (ABTOT) and complies with "The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations1992" (
