About the trip
In Switzerland, we do not offer weekly packages like in other destinations. However, as we are based in Switzerland ourselves, we naturally want to bring you closer to our local wildlife and show you the beauty of our Alps!
Feel free to contact us for 1, 2 or multi-day tours to observe different animal species in our Alpine republic.
We will be happy to pick you up at your hotel and take you back to your destination. For multi-day tours, we stay in beautiful accommodation and of course take care of your meals.
We use comfortable cars for transportation.
Let us know what you are interested in and we will be happy to put together a programme for you.
The Animals
Switzerland is of course known for its mountains! Here we also find many exciting animal species.
The highlight of every tour in the Alps is an encounter with the king of the Alps, the Ibex! Thanks to reintroduction projects in the early 20th century, these majestic animals are once again widespread in Switzerland. Ibex often show little shyness towards humans, allowing us to take some great photos.
We also often encounter Chamois in the mountains. However, these elegant climbers are usually a little shyer than Ibex.
The Alps are also home to interesting birds of prey such as Golden Eagles and Bearded Vultures.
Other wild animals can be found in other areas of Switzerland. The beaver has spread rapidly in Switzerland in recent years, so you have a good chance of encountering one at the right time of day.
A reintroduction project is also attempting to bring the European bison back to Switzerland.

Accommodation & Catering
On multi-day tours, we stay in beautiful local accommodation and enjoy the local cuisine.
On day tours, we also organize different meals and stop off at typical restaurants.
Daily Programme
Especially on mountain hikes, it’s advisable to start early! We’ll pick you up at your accommodation early in the morning to increase our chances of seeing wildlife.
Depending on your fitness level, we’ll choose between easier or more challenging hikes to explore the Swiss wilderness.
No physical exertion is required for the beavers, as we can find these crepuscular rodents near parking lots.
We usually return to your accommodation in the late afternoon or evening.
Equipment & Photography
The summer climate in Switzerland is generally very pleasant. However, it can get cooler in the mountains, so a light jacket is recommended. This also applies to beaver tours in the evening.
Good footwear is also recommended, especially for longer hikes.
We recommend larger lenses (300 mm+) for photographers, as the animals are often shy. Occasionally, however, we also have encounters with ibex at close range.
