I'm a passionate mountaineer and an outdoor guy since my early childhood. Thanks to thousands of hikes, climbs and ski tours for more than 40 years, I do know Switzerland like the back of my hand. Why I left my long-lasting career in the director's board of multinational healthcare companies? Because nothing is more rewarding than sharing the beauty of our mountainous country with others. I'm kindly inviting you to experience the magic and the infinite power of this land together with me. By the way, if you want to meet other tourists during our tour I have to disappoint you. We won't see any. I avoid all tourist traps and busy places. Some feedback from my wonderful guests: "If you want a unique experience amid the alpine culture, I would highly recommend a call to Pascal. Our adventure was the most amazing experience." "Pascal listened to our interests and designed a truly unique adventure that greatly exceeded our expectations." "He took us to places that we would never find on our own, without one single tourist in sight." "I would do it again in a heartbeat, and will do it again anytime I'm back in Switzerland."

Overview of your Lucerne tour

The Swiss military has blasted hundreds of bunkers into the mountains. Once top secret, now partially decommissioned, these fortifications are as fascinating as the high alpine environment in which they are built. We follow the traces of war preparations along rough roads and admire the beauty of the surrounding mountains.

Your Lucerne tour itinerary

• Pickup at your hotel. • Drive in our Land Rover with panoramic roof into the magical Gotthard region in the heart of the Alps. • Climb on rough military roads (with special authorisation) to viewpoints and witnesses of the Second World War. • Typical lunch in a cozy mountain inn. • Visit to the maze of secret entrances, air shafts, artillery and embrasures and the way to survive underground for months. • On the way back to your hotel, either... • ...visit to the turquoise-coloured reservoir with views of the glacier and snow, or... • ...walk over the Devil's Bridge with a view into the yawning depths of the wild gorge.
