Walking with Mules first morning you’ll meet and learn to take care of the mules who’ll be your companions for the week. Introductions complete, you’ll take the first of two exploratory day walks, enjoying picnics in alpine meadows and visiting isolated farmsteads where cheese is still made in the traditional way. Peaks, Lakes & Vines You embark on a three-day trek through the mountains to reach the shores of Lac de Bienne. En route you’ll bed down in the traditional way – sleeping on straw in high pasture bergeries. You’ll leave your mules shortly before arriving at the lakeside village of Twann. From the comfort of your hotel here there’s plenty of time to swim in the lake and cross by small boat to St Peter’s Peninsula, site of an 11th century monastery and now a nature reserve. This is also Swiss wine country so what better way to spend your last night than relaxing over a celebration meal in a vineyard! Responsible Travel During the trip you stay with local farmers. The money generated from your lodgings goes directly to support these people and without this vital income the viability of their way of life would, without doubt, be under threat. Travelling with mules must be one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel through this unspoiled region! |
