The project

A part of a whole.

Alpike was born in Grindelwald from a simple idea: this isn't just hiking — it's a whole. Today it's guided hikes on the trails we walk every week; tomorrow, retreats, team experiences, digital guides and a mountain brand. Open and in motion, like the trails.

We're starting small on purpose: a handful of routes, small groups, and time to stop wherever the view — or the cheese — deserves it.

The place

The hikes

Choose your own adventure.

The unmissable classics, or the corners only locals know — always guided, small-group and unhurried. Register your interest and we'll tell you the moment dates open.

One of Switzerland's most spectacular villages: traditional streets, Eiger viewpoints, and the legends of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Local hiking guide · Grindelwald

Local by default

Your guide lives in the valley. The route changes with the weather, the season, and what's worth seeing that week.

Small groups only

You hear the guide, the guide hears you, and the trail stays quiet.

Hidden gems

Little-known routes and viewpoints, far from the crowds — better views, fewer people.

Food is part of the plan

Fondue at the summit, Swiss wine tastings, and alpine cooking wherever the landscape calls for it.

The Jungfrau Region finally speaks Spanish.

Thousands of Spanish-speaking travellers pass through these valleys every year, and almost nobody guides them in their own language. At Alpike, Spanish isn't a translation — it's your guide's mother tongue. The village tours run directly in Spanish.

The place

One region, three thousand metres of drama.

Grindelwald sits at 1,034 m under the North Face of the Eiger; next door, the Lauterbrunnen valley drops 72 waterfalls between sheer rock walls. Our routes cross both valleys and climb to their balconies — First, Isenfluh, Faulhorn — on trails that still smell of hay in July.
