Edelweiss Way August 1-2d, 2026
“In an over-stimulated, over-rushed world, remember what it is to walk on a wild path, watch the sunset, notice a wild flower, have a conversation in a full presence, appreciate a meal after a day Outside.” – Ruta from Be Outside Coaching 
Submerge into the Swiss back country life, wilderness, allow yourself to get away from the hustle & bustle – join me to experience awe and adventure during this weekend in the Swiss Dolomites.
A hike around the impressive mountain lake full of local flora and fauna as well as witnessing the beauty of Edelweiss- the iconic and very rare flower of the Alps.
The Val de Bagnes in Valais, Switzerland, is special for its unique and preserved nature. Its unspoiled alpine nature, offers a “microcosm of Switzerland”.
This experience is suitable for beginners or medium level hikers or beginners with good fitness condition. But as always in those trips- mindset and motivation are the most important elements.
