In 2025, we’ll be scaling the Swiss Alps, jumping into rivers, sliding down canyons and engaging in the adventure of a lifetime.
Peaks, Valleys and Vegans will take place in beautiful Ticino, a holiday desintation befitting a population of central Europeans accustomed to only the most stunning views on the planet. The trip will be hosted by the talented and adventurous Farmer Nick, and will include an array of mountain based activities not for the faint of heart. This means you’ll require a high level of fitness to participate in this Getaway!
More specifically, excursions will include a difficult hike in the Swiss Alps with grilling and an evening at the spa, a canyoning excursion where guests will jump from the moutains into the water and slide down the rocks, a walking tour of the lovely town of Brissago and a jaunt into Italy for a boat cruise and island visit on Lago Maggiore. Optional excursions will include paragliding and bungee jumping in the region.
