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

"Impeccable Organisation!"

September 2024


"Impeccable organisation and advice. Just completed our third multi-day self-guided hike arranged by Alpine Exploratory and once again it went off without a hitch. All huts booked for us, route card descriptions and maps provided, to allow us to fully enjoy the mountain scenery. We keep going back to Alpine Exploratory. Would highly recommend them."

"Fabulous Experience"

August 2024


"I cannot imagine having better advice and assistance than we have had from Alpine Exploratory. We would not have got this trip done without their help, and we loved our trips, both AV1 last year and Jotunheimen this year. Their support before and during could not be improved and they made it possible for us to have some fabulous experiences. I absolutely recommend them."

"Surpassed expectations"

August 2024


"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."
