Wine tasting, walking tour and fondue to do yourself
Discovery of the Domaine Bertholet cellar then a walk in the vineyards of Villeneuve with fondue on the way This walk is by ITSELF but is organized by Domaine Bertholet, a family farm of winemakers and winemakers for 4 generations. The experience starts at the Domaine Bertholet cellar in the center of the village of Villeneuve (Grand-Rue 36) with a visit to the cellar with the winemaker and the tasting of 3 wines (about 60 min.) Then we will give you the map of the walk and the key to the capit in the vineyards. A regular climb will take you to Villeneuve's more or less sloping vineyard. After a small hour's walk (rather steep and know how to read a map... for the course), you will access the capite in the vineyards where you can prepare yourself and alone your fondue (according to the recipe) accompanied by the white wine "Chasselas" from the Domaine. From here you will enjoy, while eating and enjoying a good glass of wine, a beautiful view of the lake beyond the vineyard. When the heart tells you, you'll reach the checkout in 3/4 hour. Other things to note The start of the experience is either at 10: 30 a.m. for lunch or at 4: 30 p.m. for evening meals (allow at least 3: 00 a.m.) *Possibility to go for a walk without tasting *This experience can be hosted for more than 6 people upon request
Walk the SunnyLab Photo Tour in Geneva
Join me in a unique photo shoot in Geneva! I would love to share with you my passion and spend a great moment of exploration in the beautiful city of Geneva. Here is the opportunity to have your pictures taken in a contrasted environment: from very urban to more natural settings, all while seeing one of the most interesting part of Geneva! I'm taking you to a photo tour to the old city. After a steep walk on the hill, we'll stop at our arrival to take our first pictures above Geneva. Then we'll get inside the old city where I'll take more photos of you at an important international historical site. We'll keep walking toward the inner city and around the Great Cathedral of Geneva. Just around the corner, we'll stop by an unusual house and we'll take more pictures by a viewpoint on the lake and the roofs of the old city. From there I'll take you through a passage to the courthouse and then toward the Great Museum of Art & History. Then we'll exit the old city toward the "Parc des Bastions" where we'll shoot our last images by a very iconic place of Geneva. Take the time to see and bring great memories home! IMPORTANT INFO: Try booking early! This will give you more flexibility and get you the best possible slot. Groups (from 3 to 6 people) get a 10% discount! If you have a special request or if you'd like another date/time just text me! We'll work something out.
E-bike mountain descent from Anzere to Sion
We'll meet at alpine ski resort Anzere (1500 m above sea). Everyone will be provided with a full suspension electric mountain bike and a helmet and after a short lesson and a practice session we'll set off on the mountain and forest paths and occasionally normal roads and after a couple of hours we'll end up in downtown Sion. You do not need to be experienced in mountain biking, if you know how to ride a bicycle you'll be able to do this tour (but might have to walk the bike in a couple of places). The scenery along the ride is breathtaking and parts of the tour run along ancient water canals (Bisses) and vineyards. When we arrive in Sion we can stop for lunch and then load the bikes onto the special rack of the post bus which will take us back up to Anzere, or you may choose to stay in Sion. When back in Anzere you can relax at Anzere Spa and Baths which boasts panoramic views of the Alps (and I may be able to get you a discounted or even half-price admission). Other things to note: The tour consists mostly of rolling on downward sloping paths and roads so there is no need to be very fit or sporty. However, it's not a completely leisurely ride, you will get a moderate workout.
Private Sailing Cruise on Lake Geneva
Discover the magnificent bay of Geneva in a unique and sporty way, aboard our sailboat "Jumanji" that can comfortably accommodate 4 people. After a short introduction to the technique of sailing, we will set sail from the Nautique marina to go tacking in the mythical Geneva bay where we will be able to admire the architecture of the buildings on the lake side with the majestic Mont-Blanc massif in the background.

Discovering the Lake Geneva region and its wines
Benefit from the expertise of a local specialist in one of Switzerland's largest wine-growing regions and its wines of incredible quality! From 2 to 14 people, we will guide you through the vineyards of the Côte and the experience of tasting Swiss wines, discovering more about your wine preferences and learning more about the specificities of French-speaking Switzerland:) On D-Day, we will meet at 5:30 p.m. at the address I will indicate. 1. The experience begins with a walk in the vineyards around Féchy and Mont-sur-Rolle (mostly on foot) with an incredible view of the vines, the lake and the mountains 2. Followed by a visit to a magnificent and old cellar in the region 3. Finally, a tasting of typical Swiss wines in a tasting room in a cellar in the region normally closed to the public to discover the wines of the Vaud region in complete privacy. At 7:30/8:00 pm, the experiment comes to an end. The bonus would be a recommendation for a restaurant to finish the evening! Other things to note We are going to take a short walk, so come preferably with sneakers, sports shoes and protection if it rains. Also take a small sweater even in summer, because it is cold in the cellars:-)
Montreux from a different perspective
Our hike's destination is Grammont - a peak in the Chablais Alps, directly across the lake from Montreux. Grammont is also the site of 'Taurendunum event', when in 563 AD a massive landslide caused a tsunami on Lake Geneva. The first part of the trail takes us from the small mountain village of Miex to the milky-blue waters of lake of Taney. On its shores there is an alpine inn, which is a perfect stop for a snack or a drink. The toughest part comes next. For about 2 hours, we will be going only uphill with the path first starting as a paved road and gradually transforming into narrow path. We will cross alpine pastures used by shepherds to graze the cattle during the summer. Conquering the summit, we will be rewarded with a breath-taking view of the Swiss Riviera and Lavaux Vineyard Terraces (UNESCO World Heritage Site), unseen from elsewhere. For the way down, we will take a barely used trail that will take us through the dense forest on the southern slope of Grammont. We will end our journey in picturesque town of Le Bouveret, where you will take a boat back to Montreux. Other things to note I will plan the hike in accordance with local weather forecast and adjust the itinerary if necessary. Public transport and boat tickets not included. The length of this hike is 20.03 km (12.45 miles) with a total ascent of 1'229 m (4'032 feet).
Hiking & Running around Bern
If you too like to get to know new places while hiking and running around, you will like my sporty sightseeing tour in and around Bern. Your stamina will be rewarded with wonderful views and different perspectives on Bern. The tour starts in the center of Bern and takes us through cobbled streets past the most important sights over the most beautiful bridges to the most beautiful views and along the river Aare into nature, which is within reach from anywhere in Bern. The highest point of our tour will be one of our local mountains (Gurten, Bantiger or Ulmiz) from where we will have a wonderful panoramic view to Bern and the Alps which probably will be difficult to leave again. However, in summer maybe the prospect of jumping into the cool water of the Aare or a refreshing ice cream will help and in winter hot chestnuts? Prepare for a distance of around 15 km and 500 m elevation gain but i take individual needs into account. We will take it easy and stop again and again to enjoy, to chat and to take pictures of the beautiful places in and around Bern. Unfortunately there are no changing rooms or lockers for luggage. Please appear directly in your hiking or running clothes.
Photoshoot in Geneva English 中文 Français
I will take professional pictures of you in Geneva, bring you around the most beautiful parts of the old town and by the lake, tell you a bit about our city. I edit the pictures the same day for you to be able to post them on social media. It can be for you alone or for a couple / family. If you wish we can also shoot in Annecy, Yvoire, Nyon or any nearby cities in the canton of Geneva or neighbouring France. Please note that time is flexible and can be arranged differently.
