What it is about
We offer a mind-blowing unique combination of Hiking tours coupled with yoga asanas, vipassana meditation (and great food!) to give an all-round hiking experience of the Swiss Alps in Kandersteg. In addition, we are looking to help the environment by being the first tourist company in Switzerland to provide electric car services.
Our Local Goal is to support elderly people, families with young children and those with movement restrictions to access remote hiking destinations and to support community involvement for Kandersteg residents by giving workshops.
Our Global Goal is to support community involvement for residents by increasing tourism outreach, to optimise the cooperation between provider clients, hotel guests and local residents on sharing of electric cars, to promote Ecological and Health Aspects of Electric Vehicles in Switzerland and all over the globe.
Electric cars are helpful for the Earth’s environment because they don’t give off as many harmful emissions as regular vehicles, as well as helping to protect the climate and reduce oil consumption.
