Family Hiking & Climbing in Switzerland & Italy

Join Keith Daellenbach, his wife Amy, and their 11-year old son, Micah, on a summer adventure through trip through Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.  They climbed Säntis, the highest peak in the Alpstein near Appenzell, Switzerland, hiked in the Lauterbrunnen and Bernese Oberland – the region Keith’s paternal ancestors emigrated from, summited the 13,662 foot ice mountain Breithorn near Zermatt, hiked and climbed hut-to-hut in the Dolomites including a challenging via feratta up Monte Paterno (Paternkofel) near the spectacular Tre Cime (Drei Zinnen), and ended their trip down the boot of Italy by hiking to the crater of Mount Vesuvius before visiting Pompeii. Between mountains, they visited some of Europe’s great cities proving it is possible to make such a trip with an active and adventurous child anything but boring.
