Hiking holidays in Switzerland

Reka hiking holidays: more than ever a great idea.

The quote comes – as many would suggest – from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and you’d be inclined to believe such a widely-travelled person who was always in search of the “authentic”, preferably on foot.
Anybody who gladly sets off in their best hiking boots knows just what he’s talking about: hiking has a special magic about it – enjoying the simple life, in unison with nature, valuable time with your loved ones, pure relaxation. Forget all about work, shut down, switch off. Leave hectic, noisy everyday stress behind. Fresh air streaming through your lungs with every step… Eyes on the path at just the right tempo to soak up all the beauty around you. Fading into the distance down there, everyday life shrinks by the minute!

Book your Reka hiking holidays now!


Hiking holidays are …

... a true mega trend at the moment with old and young alike because they are simply totally relaxing. Being “outdoors”, getting away from the city and experiencing pure nature is just priceless and outstanding! What more could you want?

Hiking is good for body and soul

As an endurance sport, it strengthens your lungs, heart and circulation as well as your bones, ligaments and tendons. On top of all this, walking promotes a regular output of ‘happy hormones’ in the brain – reducing stress and stimulating good ideas.

The season’s always right for hiking

Here and now, or with a plan and a map. Today or tomorrow. When the weather clears up or in spite of a couple of clouds. On the spur of the moment for a few hours or even several days – nature is always ready out there!
At Reka there’s always just the right accommodation for unforgettable hiking days in summer and autumn but also for winter hiking and snowshoeing in the deep snowy paradise.

Hiking is affordable

All you need is footgear, a stick, rucksack and suitable clothes. If you feel fine on foot, you don’t need any expensive equipment or even a means of transport. As a Reka guest you’re especially well served by public transport (text only in German).

Hiking is soft tourism

No overlong journey, caring for natural surroundings, sustainably equipping themselves – if they organise their holiday consciously, hiking enthusiasts leave a decisive positive ecological footprint. All the more so if they also choose the best possible holiday accommodation: Reka is well on its way to becoming the most sustainable holiday provider in Switzerland. As a pioneer company in this respect, we have been certified by Swiss Tourism with the «Swisstainable» logo.

Hiking creates companionship

Creating something together – successfully reaching the same destination. Whether you’re a family or a group of friends, experiences in a natural environment with your loved ones strengthen the feeling of belonging  together.

There’s more with Reka – on hiking holidays too
