Adventure is an Open Book

Leo was the perfect guide. We wanted something different, and this activity delivered. The peaks on Mt. Riigi and Mt. Pilatus are intended for scenic views. We had none, but the transport and walking made for a fun adventure anyway. There was snow, and clouds, and icicles, and the great accompaniment of Leo. We learned a lot about our surroundings, and enjoyed a very fun day of exploration, just minus the views. That's the beauty of an adventure. You never know what it will bring.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that you had a fun adventure with Leo, even without the scenic views. Sometimes the journey itself is what makes the experience unforgettable. We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus, and we hope to welcome you on another Swiss adventure soon!
