Alps and Beyond was born from the heartfelt desire of its founder and director, Anna Bezzola, to provide an opportunity for the curious traveller to partake not only in an active vacation, but also in a full-immersion, cultural and educational experience in a part of the world she is very passionate about. In fact, Anna was born and raised in Italy, and grew up spending her summers in Switzerland and exploring the cultural and natural environments of the Alps. With great passion and enthusiasm, careful design, focused attention on the smallest details, quality accommodations and services, as well as an extended family of professional guides, Alps and Beyond offers distinctive active vacations in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Our trips range from classic journeys through renown areas to unique programs in regions still undiscovered by mass tourism, while well-researched, unique local characteristics, exclusive activities and interactions with the native people insure a fun, authentic and memorable experience in the midst of superb scenery.

Our Collaborators are independent professionals, with an invaluable expertise, who have worked in the travel business for years and who share our same passion and enthusiasm.

Our Guides are local, and an integral part of the places and cultures you visit. They are extraordinary individuals coming from all walks of life, with years of guiding experience, an in-depth understanding of mountain hiking and safety procedures, and caring personalities. Their intimate knowledge of the history, culture, traditions, flora and fauna of the area is complemented by stories handed down to them by their parents and grandparents. They are professional, multi-lingual, friendly, enthusiastic and passionate, and will not miss any opportunity to interact with the local people, providing valuable opportunities for a full-immersion experience. Extreme curiosity, spirit of adventure, spontaneity and a playful attitude are the powerful engines that drive them and that will bring everything around you fully alive.
