Crossing the Alps with Feu­er und Eis Touristik.

Crossing the Alps is not “just” a hiking tour. Crossing the Alps is an extra­or­di­na­ry expe­ri­ence and a per­so­nal chall­enge. We know this from expe­ri­ence. Our spe­cia­lists at Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik have been orga­ni­zing Alpi­ne crossings for over 30 years. This know­ledge and this pas­si­on is in every rou­te we plan, in every sin­gle stage and in every detail. 

Per­fect­ly orga­ni­zed Alpi­ne crossings for hiking for every fit­ness level.

+ More information 

An Alpi­ne crossing is an unfor­gettable adven­ture that takes you through impres­si­ve land­scapes and the diver­se cul­tu­re of the Alps.

Our careful­ly desi­gned rou­tes, such as the tour from Tegern­see to Ster­zing, offer you a balan­ced mix of phy­si­cal chall­enge, inten­se natu­re expe­ri­en­ces and soot­hing rela­xa­ti­on. Each rou­te is desi­gned not only to satis­fy your wan­der­lust, but also to lea­ve room for the litt­le won­ders along the way – be it a clear moun­tain lake, a bloo­ming alpi­ne mea­dow or mee­ting the warm hos­pi­ta­li­ty of the Alpi­ne people. 

A varie­ty of rou­tes for every requi­re­ment
Our Alpi­ne crossings allow ever­yo­ne to expe­ri­ence the beau­ty of the Alps. Choo­se the crossing of the Alps that suits you: Whe­ther it’s a shorter beg­in­ner’s crossing of the Alps with enjoya­ble stages through gent­le val­leys or more chal­len­ging rou­tes over alpi­ne ter­rain — the­re is a rou­te to suit every fit­ness level, time sche­du­le and per­so­nal pre­fe­rence. Each stage is plan­ned to offer a good balan­ce of exer­cise, natu­re expe­ri­ence and rela­xa­ti­on. Along the way, you will stay in careful­ly sel­ec­ted accom­mo­da­ti­on that reflects the charm and tra­di­ti­on of the regi­on to make your trip even more authentic. 

Peak sea­son and ear­ly boo­king
The main sea­son for Alpi­ne crossings is bet­ween July and Sep­tem­ber, when the paths are free of snow and ice and the wea­ther con­di­ti­ons are usual­ly sta­ble. During this time, the tours are very popu­lar, which is why ear­ly boo­king is essen­ti­al. In par­ti­cu­lar, the capa­ci­ties of the accom­mo­da­ti­ons along the rou­tes – from char­ming inns to cozy hotels – are limi­t­ed. Regis­tering in good time not only secu­res your desi­red dates, but also the best places to enjoy your trip in a rela­xed manner. 

A jour­ney — that chan­ges you
Regard­less of whe­ther you are tra­ve­ling indi­vi­du­al­ly or opt for a gui­ded group – an Alpi­ne crossing offers you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence the moun­ta­ins from a new per­spec­ti­ve. It brings you clo­ser to natu­re, opens up valuable new impres­si­ons and crea­tes unfor­gettable memo­ries. It is a jour­ney that not only moves you extern­al­ly, but also enri­ches you intern­al­ly – a jour­ney that will stay with you for a long time.
