Cherries

Founder and guide of Cherries of Cherries Walks, Cherries is a Swiss-American botanist and certified International Mountain Leader (IML) with over a decade of experience guiding in the Alps. Based in the Val d’Anniviers and trained across all four seasons, Cherries brings deep knowledge of alpine flora, fauna, glaciology, geology, and hydrology to her walks—along with expertise in orienteering, mountain safety, and even igloo-building. Her walks are more than just scenic hikes; they are immersive journeys into the natural and cultural landscape of the mountains. With a passion for storytelling and curiosity-led exploration, Cherries creates experiences that are intellectually rich, physically engaging, and emotionally grounding. Whether you’re traversing wildflower meadows, tracing glacial paths, or simply learning the name of a moss underfoot, a walk with Cherries opens up the mountain in unexpected ways—layered, vibrant, and alive with meaning.
