Via Alpina 2019 - Cost
Posted by Mark Richardson on Aug 01, 2019
Cost
The basic cost of doing this route was £1548. Though this did include accommodation in Lintal, Underboden, Greisalp, L’Etivaz and Zurich.
I converted £990 to Swiss francs before I left and used this for everything except my stay at the Berggasthaus Golde on the 28th August, I used my debit card for this transaction as I knew I was running low on currency. As it transpired I only returned with 10 Francs so overall this worked out well.
I’ve listed below key costs, some of which could be avoided by substituting camping for accommodation:
Flights – Teesside to Zurich return | £412.00 | |
Accommodation – Bergasthaus Golde – 1 night | £146.11 | |
Currency used | £990.00 | |
Total cost | £1548.11 | |
Paid in cash – not all amounts recorded and are therefore estimates but total was £990, all the currency I brought. | ||
