My experience with Echo Trails was nothing less than perfect. My first communication was responded to by one of the company leaders who assisted me in reserving two different days of hiking and assisted me in paying for the reservation. Two days prior to the hikes the guide reached out via What's App providing their contact info and advising me that they would meet us at the Lucern train station at 7 AM. On the Heart of The Alps hike our guide was Amalia Macula. She met us and we boarded the first of the two trains to reach our destination. She was joined by a new guide for the company who was observing her for the day. His name was Arno Claerhout. Both were wonderful young people and are excellent guides. The hike was not easy and we worked up quite a sweat. We are experienced hikers and this was just what we were looking for. The views of the Alpine meadows and the snow and the glacier on the mountain tops were spectacular. We had a wonderful lunch in the rest at the top. We hosted Amalia and Arno for lunch and enjoyed our time with them very much. On the way down we walked to the 12th century monastery where they have a cheese shop for cheese made by the Monks. A very nice treat. Echo Trails is the real deal. Book with them for an adventure you will talk about for years.
