On Day 1, we will fly from London to Milan Malpensa Airport, which takes  approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. After arriving in Milan, we will collect our luggage and clear customs before transferring from Milan to  Zermatt in our rented Van. Once you arrive in Zermatt, we will check into our private chalet, enjoy dinner at the chalet or a local restaurant, and then relax and unwind for the evening.  

On  Day 2, we will transfer to the heart of the Swiss Alps, Zermatt, by taking a local train, as Zermatt is a car-free town. Upon arriving in  Zermatt, we will make our way to the Zermatt-Sunnegga lift, which will transport us up to the picturesque area of Sunnegga. Once we reach  Sunnegga, we will embark on our first day of hiking, exploring the renowned 5 Lakes of Zermatt. This hike will take us through stunning alpine scenery, with each of the five lakes—Stellisee, Grindjisee,  Grünsee, Moosjisee, and Leisee—offering unique and breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountains. We will take our time to enjoy the natural beauty, take plenty of photos, and perhaps even have a picnic by one of the lakes. After completing the hike, we will return to our apartment, where we can relax and reflect on the day's adventures.

On Day 3, we will embark on another hiking adventure, this time exploring the Edelweiss Höhbalmen Trail. Starting our day with a train ride to Zermatt, we will then set out on the trail, immersing ourselves in the heart of the Swiss Alps. The Edelweiss Höhbalmen Trail is known for its stunning views of the Matterhorn, lush meadows, and vibrant wildflowers. We will spend the day hiking, enjoying the breathtaking alpine scenery and the tranquillity of the mountains. After completing the hike, we will take the train back to our chalet, where we can relax and unwind after a fulfilling day in nature. 

On  Day 4, we will leave the Zermatt Valley for a day to hike the beautiful  Bisse du Ro. This trail offers stunning views and a unique experience as we follow the historic irrigation channels carved into the mountainside. We will spend the day enjoying the scenic landscapes,   lush forests, and picturesque vistas, making the most of our time in this beautiful region. After our hike, we will return to our chalet to relax and prepare for the departure day.

On Day 5, the last day of our Swiss adventure, we will bid farewell to Zermatt and start our journey towards Milan Malpensa Airport. However, our trip is not over yet. We will make a pit stop at the beautiful Lake Maggiore to savour our last moments in this stunning region. If time allows, we will also make a quick visit to Milan, exploring a few of its highlights before heading to the airport for our flight home. This will be a perfect way to end our memorable trip, enjoying both the natural beauty of Lake Maggiore and the vibrant atmosphere of Milan.
