With Randothentic, Carine Maeder offers getaways in the wilderness where each participant can take the time to breath and recharge. With simplicity and authenticity as her watchwords, her outings are an opportunity not only to enjoy the beauty of nature, but also to learn about local flora, fauna, and culture through the anecdotes she shares along the way. And that isn’t all: the mountain guide is committed to promoting the valuable work of alpine farmers and other regional artisans by sharing delicious local products. She likes to add her own personal touch by preparing homemade bread, pesto, or wild plant syrup to accompany the meal.
Much more than just hikes, Carine’s outings often have a theme. For example, you can listen to the bellowing of stags, go behind the scenes of alpine cheese making, or discover the Neuchâtel tradition of “torrée”. Choosing the itinerary, booking visits or overnight stays, and planning alternatives in case of bad weather: every detail is carefully organised so that participants have nothing to do but put on their hiking shoes and enjoy unique moments in a friendly, caring, and sharing atmosphere. And to ensure that enjoyment is at the heart of the experience, respect for each person's pace is always a priority.
