Peaks, Valleys and Vegans
Brissago, Switzerland
Peaks, Valleys and Vegans
After TWO sold-out Swiss Getaway experiences in 2025, we’re headed back to the Alps for another unforgettable week of fun, fondue, and new vegan friends!
We’re also thrilled to be joined for the first time by naturopathic doctor Dr. Matthew Nagra, who will host an inspiring and approachable workshop during the Getaway. Dr. Nagra will cover some of the basics around how much protein is ideal, help debunk common anti-plant protein myths, and explore what nourishing, plant-based meals can look like in a real-world travel setting.
Peaks, Valleys & Vegans will take place in beautiful Ticino, a region that perfectly blends stunning Swiss scenery with Italian cuisine and language. It’s the combo you never even knew you needed. The trip includes a hike in the Swiss Alps, a plant-based culinary experience, a day trip to Lucerne, a breathtaking riverside hike in the Verzasca Valley, a jaunt into Italy for a boat cruise and island visit on Lago Maggiore, a Brissago city tour, and so much more.
Our home away from home will once again be the always-vegan Garden Hotel Primavera Brissago, and you’ll have your very own multilingual local tour leader to guide you through every step of the adventure.
If you’ve always wanted to explore the stunning peaks and valleys of picturesque Switzerland, this is your chance to frolic through the Alps with inspiring vegans and a fantastic group of brand-new, life-long friends.
