We were impressed with Christoph from when we first booked the trip. His communication from the outset was excellent. He offered to pick us up from the local station but we were travelling by car so went straight to his base. We got there an hour early and Christoph greeted us warmly and offered us hot or cold drinks whilst he got things ready. He then kitted us out with jackets, gloves and helmets ready for the ride.
Christoph carefully explained how to use the different controls and let us practice in the car park before setting off and then we were on our way.
The trip was all done on the road but the roads were very quiet with little other traffic. We were literally up and down the valley with the most amazing scenery and some really interesting, windy roads with plenty of hairpin bends. We saw picture postcard scenery and lots of wildlife (lots of Red Kites) and local farm animals.
Part way through the trip we stopped in a lovely woodland picnic are where we ate Zvieri (a traditional Swiss mid afternoon meal) which was a lovely platter of different cold meats and cheeses which had been prepared by Christoph himself. Christoph also provided plenty of soft drinks and water to wash it down with.
After Zvieri we headed back to our starting point. In total we had around 3 hours on the quads and travelled well over 60km. We felt that the trip provided great value for money.
This is a great trip for families with older children but because you are on public roads all of the time you have to have a driving licence to be able to drive. We knew this before we booked and arranged for our 15 year old son to go with me and Christoph gave us a bigger quad to allow us to do this. It cost us hardly any extra for our son.
Christoph is a fantastic host, very calm, friendly and patient (even when I accidentally parked in a bush!). His English is absolutely faultless. The ride is great fun and our 15 year old loved it too even though he was riding pillion. The tour showcases some of the best scenery Switzerland has to offer and with lovely country roads and wildlife too.
Would we do it again - definitely!
Thank you for a great experience Christoph.
