This is not a standardized tourism activity, but a real private mountain experience tailored to you, your pace, your goals, and the conditions on the day. Instead of following a fixed script, the hike remains flexible throughout and adapts naturally to the mountain and your preferences. Starting directly in Interlaken, we climb step by step through forest trails to one of the most iconic viewpoints in the region. Rather than simply visiting the summit, you experience the full journey — leaving the town behind, gaining elevation, and watching the views gradually open. Because this is a private guided hike, the experience stays personal, calm, and real — far from crowded group tours and rigid schedules.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $215.

Nicholas really knows Harder Kulm well. He knew exactly where we needed to go and what to expect. I'm addition, he was extremely patient with me and the breaks I needed to take along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed the blisters I got because I earned them!
The hike guided by Nicolas was a great experience. I would recommend this for groups or individuals looking to do a hike in the Interlaken area. He is very accommodating and can tailor the experience to any level. He was very professional and reached out ahead of time to check in and answer any questions.
Nicolas was very kind and patient with us! It was a beautiful hike. What a lovely day. So glad we did this. The views at the top were spectacular and having a local guide allowed to access them safely.
I am an international student and have traveled to 20 plus countries. I booked this hike initially as a solo as I didn't want to do that hike alone. However a friend decided to book as well at the last minute. It was absolulely the best hike I have had anywhere. Nicholas was ill and contacted me via whats app the day before to see if it would be ok if his sister filled in. I appreciated him not coming sick and finding an accomplished replacement instead of just canceling on me like other tour guides would have done. That would have ruined my trip. I have finals the week after the hike so not being around someone sick was very much appreciated as well. His sister was an amazing guide. My friend and I truly enjoyed the custom hike. It was perfect. We would not have been able to see a fraction of what we saw or even knew what we were looking at had it not been for her. The price of the tour is a bargain for what you get- especially if you are unfamiliar with the area or not a seasoned hiker. My mom in the US was thrilled that we had a guide as well. I highly recommend booking this tour. He has great reviews on other travel sites as well- top notch, dependable, and well worth the money and his sister was awesome.
