Welcome to Alpine Exploratory!
Since 2005 our mission has been to give the best interpretation of our trails, allied to friendly service... and now we've had 20 years!

We hope to see you on the trails soon!

Exploration

Every spring/summer we travel to each of our destinations to hike the trails and create our Season Update on the trail and the route conditions, that we send to clients.

Flexibility

Choose your preferred hiking dates, accommodation style, and number of days on the trail, and we'll plan your walking holiday to suit your needs. Or join one of our guided trips!

Friendliness

It's a pleasure to get to know our hikers from around the world. Our knowledgeable team is here to help before, during and after your holiday with us.

Reviews from our customers

"Wonderful and memorable trips"

July 2026


"We have used AE twice now for some wonderful and memorable trips. Now planning our third. The staff are always very helpful and the route information is great!"

"Outstanding Experience"

August 2026


"We had an outstanding experience with Alpine Exploratory for our trip. From the initial planning through the completion of the trek, everything was exceptionally well organized."

"Surpassed expectations"

August 2026


"We just completed our fourth trip with Alpine Exploratory and once again, they have surpassed all expectations. Their trips are well thought out and well researched. They are excellent communicators and respond quickly to questions and concerns. Their pre-trip information is quite detailed and covers everything you'll need. The daily hiking route cards (which always provide available alternatives to skip part or all of a stage) are indispensable."
