Hiking the Swiss Alps
Two weeks in Switzerland. One World Center. Mountains galore to hike. Several pots of fondue. And plenty of friendships to be had and memories to be made.
Take the Swiss Hiking Challenge with your fellow Girl Scouts! This once-in-a-lifetime experience will be full of adventure, challenge, nature, new friends and LOTS of fun! The trip will include a week-long visit to Our Chalet, the WAGGGS World Centre, where you’ll hike some of the most popular trails in the area, rock climb, learn about the Swiss culture and make new friends from around the world. Before the week at Our Chalet, Girl Scouts will be sightseeing in other TBD cities in Switzerland.
