Trekking Team – your outdoor specialist

We’ve put it upon ourselves to make your adventures days you like to look back on – loosely quoting John Irving “life is made up of days we remember”.
Days of fun, action, of insight and reflection – memories of quality time and “living in the moment”. Whether it is a team building event, a day of adventure and adrenaline, activites out in nature with friends, colleagues or family, look no further, we’ll find you a favourite! Trekking Team is the oldest actively operating outdoor company in Switzerland and we are safety certified. We look back onto 30 years of experience in the field so we can truthfully say: you’re in good hands. We also had the pleasure to work for TV and film productions and our programmes have been published in numerous media reports.

If you’re curious to explore new grounds – get in contact with us!

Safety First

Our motto is very simple: “Safety First”!
Indeed we offer many adventurous programmes, but when it comes to your safety, we are no adventurers. We’ve worked this way for more than thirty years now and have no intention to change our ways on this subject. Trekking Team was the first outdoor company in Switzerland to receive the security certificate “Safety in adventures.”

The company’s senior management is actively involved in all programmes and takes full responsibility for all areas of security and checks the compliance with the company’s security concept on a regular basis. We prioritise the training of our staff and put guides in charge who are trained and specialised for the specific areas and activites. Guides are trained and certified by the Swiss Outdoor Association (SOA) and for the cave part by the speleology school “Schweizerische Schule für Höhlenbefahrungen Hölloch” (SSH). International staff have to have an equivalent certification that complies with the standards and regulations of SOA and us (particularly in the Bungy sector).

Your safety is our priority!
