Walter Tishma Way in Colorado - Self-Guided-
Although hiking on the WTW doesn't require a heavy pack, it
is hiking in the backcountry and it is hiking 8-12 miles
day after day in elevations between 7500 feet and 9800
feet. There are several days along the route that can be
shortened and we offer several options for day 3 from Lily
Lake to St. Malo. If you're hiking without a guide,
route-finding and basic backcountry skills are required. A
route guide is included, but must be used with a topo map.
Be sure to get in shape by carrying a pack and wearing your
hiking boots on walking routes in your area. One word of
warning. Long-distance hiking is addictive.
Women's Week in Switzerland-This is a fantastic week
and offers a lot of options for a wide range of ability
levels. It is a hiking trip, but there are a couple of
excursion days and as always, bailing out of the hike for a
day by the pool or shopping is always an option. The
hiking is lower than Colorado and most of the mileages are
less, but there's more vertical gain. Get into the best
shape you can. You'll be amazed at what you can
do.
Inn to Inn in Alsace, France- You definitely don't
want to do this inn-to-inn style trip if you've never hiked
before. It's not that the hiking is strenuous, in fact
it's probably easier than hiking in Switzerland or
Colorado. But the mileages are longer and it is hiking day
after day. This trip is excellent for people who love good
wine, good food, and a lot of history mixed in with
moderate hiking through golden vineyards and forested
mountains. It's important to keep in mind that if you're
not feeling well or really tired, you can go ahead with the
luggage to the next destination.
Inn to Inn in Switzerland- This trip blends four
days of inn to inn hiking from from the velvety green hills
of French-speaking Chateau d'oex to the high alpine
splendors of Kandersteg, then two days of day hiking in the
Kander Valley. Lounging by the pool or day-touring on your
rail pass is also an option during the last two days in
Kandersteg. The hiking is overall more challenging so
you'll want to be in good shape. If for some reason you
cannot hike on any day of the four inn to inn days, you can
purchase a bus or rail ticket or use a day on your rail
pass to go ahead to the next destination.
Custom Colorado Trips- We offer custom trips in
Colorado both winter and summer. We can plan your lodging,
food and activities which include snowshoeing, hiking or
gourmet cooking classes at The Fawn Brook Inn (winter).
These trips can be perfectly tailored to match your fitness
level and interests. You can definitely do this.
