5 days Swiss adventure hut to hut early September
-
We have 4 1/2 days of full walking (ie excluding travel time) in early September and are hoping to do an adventurous walk, ideally staying up high, using the huts and not coming down into the towns / villages. We hope to do upto 8 hours walking a day – strenuous routes
We are 2 adventurous friends who have good fitness and reasonable mountaineering experience (but not glacier or via ferrata experience). We love the mountains and nature.
I’m seeking some guidance please on the following:
1. Itinerary advice – ideally we want to stay in mountain huts and avoid coming down into the towns and therefore the Via Alpina 1 route is not really for us. What would you advise? suggested start/finish: Murren/Meiringen to Kandersteg/Adelboden. We fly from Geneva late at night so on the final day can realistically do a full half day’s walk to reach a train station / links to one!
2. Is there a better direction to hike the route in?
3. We’re flying in/out of Geneva – as we will have only 2 train journeys, arriving and leaving from different stations, is there any way to get a discount – I’ve so far drawn a blank!
4. Our first day of full walking is a Saturday – and I see that many huts are fully booked! Is there a waiting list/ other possibilities – I don’t want to arrive after a long day and find there is no accommodation!
Many thanks for any pointers.
