Imagine hiking along one of the most beautiful hiking trails in all of Switzerland together with your dedicated elopement planner as your photographer and tour guide. Along the way, you can exchange your vows and rings for a super intimate and romantic elopement ceremony.
Depending on the duration of the hike, this experience may take just a few hours or an entire day. Some hike are awesome to see the sunrise and elope in the first light of day, some are great for an evening experience eloping just before you watch the sunset over the Swiss Alps.
During our personal call, we will completely support you in choosing the hike that is just perfect for you!
Some of the hikes even offer the opportunity to stay overnight in a traditional Swiss mountain hut for the night after eloping along the trail – so you can literally celebrate your love under the stars on the peak of a mountain in the Swiss Alps! Depending on your itinerary your photographer (and videographer) will join you as well – so you can continue your hike together on the next day!
Of course, we highly recommend including a wonderful romantic candlelight dinner for the evening after your hiking elopement experience – maybe even including a wellness package – so you can simply relax completely and soak in the romance and intimacy of your time together!
The hiking elopement foundation always includes:
– Complete creation of your custom hiking elopement experience together
(creating your custom hiking elopement itinerary together during a personal call as well as all additional support up until after your elopement, recommendations for activities and experiences surrounding your hiking elopement day, accommodation, travel to- and within Switzerland)
– Professional photography on your hiking elopement day
(you receive all images in the highest possible JPG resolution, completely optimized and processed, within 1 week of your elopement)
The total estimated costs for your hiking elopement are of course hike-specific as the time they take can vary greatly. We will go through all estimated costs for your hiking elopement including additional services like videography, flowers, pic-nic,bad weather backup options, overnight stays in the personal call together, to make sure every question of yours is answered to your fullest satisfaction and you know exactly where your investment is being allocated.
Once you (and your elopement planner) are sure that the itinerary matches your vision and budget completely, it will be written out and sent to you as a finalized hiking elopement itinerary including a complete costs overview.
Generally, hiking elopements will cost anywhere from CHF 1’200.00 – CHF 2’200.00 (including the foundation and hike, without additional services like overnight stay, pic-nic, videography, flowers…).
A complete hiking elopement, with an overnight stay, pic-nic, videography, flowers etc. starts at around CHF 2’500.00+.
We generally do not offer any officiating for hiking elopements as you will simply exchange your wosna and rings yourself.
Below, we listed some of our absolute favorite hikes for your hiking elopement with us. If you have a specific hike in mind that is not listed here, worry not!
We can create a custom itinerary for pretty much any hike in Switzerland (Lukas, who is writing this is a super avid hiker and will love to test-hike for you prior to your elopement 😉).
Just share your dream hike with us after confirming our collaboration and we’ll talk about that during our call!
We are super excited to plan your once-in-a-lifetime hiking elopement experience together!
