And more with WSA's adventure in the Swiss Alps!
Experience the wonder that is the Swiss Alps! Join a WSA Detour for all the insider knowledge we've developed over a decade exploring the beautiful Alps. Select a time in January or February to ski, or come in the summer/fall months to take in and hike Switzerland's breathtaking scenery.
Fly into any of these Swiss Airports: Basel, Zurich, Geneva or Bern and make your connection into the Lauterbrunnen valley from there. Check timetables and prices for the transfers at sbb.ch/en
Day 1 includes your 2 nights accomodation. We recommend opting for 3rd night to get 2 full days of skiing or hiking in.
Opt for some of the world's top extreme sports while booking: skydiving, heli-skydiving, canyon jumping or paragliding. We'll include the contact information and discount upon booking.
In the days before your Detour starts (usually about 5 days at a minimum), we'll forward the Swiss Alps Detour destination guide including best restaurants to eat at, activities to do, discounts to our favorite activities (see below) and more. We'll also recommend where to rent gear based on where you're staying, and the destination guide outlines your skiing and adventure options.
The time is yours to decide what to do and when to do it!
Each WSA Detour is over on the third day unless you book a 3 night to extend your stay. Select "add third night" while booking in order to lock in your reservation.
It is possible to rent ski gear at the shop for a price including helmet, jacket, gloves, ski pants, boots, skis/boards and more.
