Where Passion Meets Local Insight
Put simply, Happy Tracks is a collective of mountain enthusiasts. Our free time is spent moving through the landscape — climbing, trail running, skiing, and hiking. Between us and over many years, we’ve built a deep well of knowledge and an intimate understanding of our local environment. Beyond the thrill of mountain sports, we’re equally inspired by alpine flora, fauna, and culture. These three things shape the landscape and add an extra dimension of meaning.
Our Goal
The key principle behind everything we do is to share our enthusiasm and knowledge of the mountains. By planning guided and self-guided tours, we invite you into our home and offer you a chance to experience something really special. We understand that not everyone has the time, experience, or energy to organise a hiking tour single-handedly. That’s where we come in; our qualified guides take care of the details, remove uncertainty, and craft experiences that allow you to focus on what really matters: being present in the mountains, connecting with the landscape, and enjoying the journey.
Our Values
At the heart of what we do are the values that shape every journey we create. We believe the mountains should be accessible to anyone who enjoys a challenge, and we foster an environment where every guest feels welcome, supported, and free to move at their own pace. At the same time, we are deeply committed to protecting the landscapes we call home; designing routes that prioritise travelling on foot and respecting the delicate balance of local wildlife. And while time in the mountains demands respect, we never lose sight of the joy it brings. We keep things light where we can, finding humour in the climbs, appreciating the quieter moments, and building a sense of camaraderie that turns each journey into a shared adventure.
