Our latest blog is up! Today we're discussing two very convenient ways to reach the summit of Mount Rigi on the shores of beautiful Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. If you've never hiked the Swiss Alps then Mount Rigi is a great introduction. Locals call her the "Queen of the Mountains," and indeed, Queen Victoria herself visited Mount Rigi in 1868. If it's good enough for Queen Victoria, then it's good enough for you! 😉 🇨🇭 Click here to read more: https://www.thecatandthepeacock.com/blog/thinking-about-hiking-mount-rigi-here-are-two-great-ways-to-reach-the-summit

This lovely couple just finished one of our self guided inn-to-inn hikes through the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland. Scott and Kathy write, "The trip has been phenomenal and exceeded every expectation!" That's exactly what we like to hear! Thank you so much Scott and Kathy. It's been a real pleasure to show you the joys of the Swiss Alps. 🇨🇭😀

Are there any railroad fans out there? Here's an outstanding recent video of a steam powered snowblower (rotary) clearing the Furka Stream Railway in the Swiss Alps. The Furka line is a mostly volunteer-run heritage railroad that connects the Swiss towns of Oberwald and Realp in the central Swiss Alps. The railroad runs steam trains every day during the summer across an incredibly scenic alpine route. Would you like to experience the railroad in person? Give us a shout. We can help you with anything from logistics to accommodation, or even a private driver to chase the train as you grab great photos. 😀📸 Trivia question: What is the German word for a steam powered rotary snowblower. Answer: It's Dampfschneeschleuder. Impress your friends!

Adventure Travel for Curious People

At The Cat & The Peacock, we give you the greatest gift in the world, the gift of time. It takes an enormous amount of time to plan a successful trip away from home, especially a trip that involves some sort of adventure component or off-the-beaten path experience. Consider an inn-to-inn hiking tour in the Alps, for example. In the many hours, days, and sometimes weeks that it takes to select the most scenic regions, pick the best hikes, choose the accommodations that fit your style, read through the pages and pages of endless online reviews, make the reservations, procure the most convenient luggage transport, develop bad weather plans, find good deals on transport, work out the transport schedules, compile maps and route descriptions, highlight bail out options, bookmark sightseeing diversions, and uncover the most authentic local experiences—you could have easily taken two (maybe even three) extra vacations. Ditto for a ski trip in France, a village-to-village mountain bike week in Switzerland, or a castle tour in Scotland.

The amount of physical and digital information that’s available these days is overwhelming, and some of it isn’t even correct, or it’s heavily biased. What you read online may not be the best fit for you.

Our staff have been organizing trips for 20 years. We’ve done the homework so that you can spend your precious time in more productive and enjoyable ways. We also give you peace of mind. In the Alps, for example, there might be five different ways to hike to the same village. We know which hike offers the best views, the alpine hut serving the most delicious food, and the quickest exit strategy in case your plans change. One hundred percent of our trips are custom-designed for our guests. We spend a lot of time getting to know you so that you get exactly what you want out of your vacation, and nothing that you don’t.

One of our recent guests summed up their Swiss ski experience nicely. They said, “We are having the best adventure on this Christmas break, thanks to The Cat and The Peacock. Chris has done a fantastic job putting our package together for us, I personally would not have known where to start. Great job!!!”
