Four days. 12 creators. One route most people only see on their feeds.

The best content you'll ever make comes from moments you stopped trying to capture. Sam, Elias & Kajsa have spent years learning that, hiking every corner of the Alps and building audiences by showing up fully to the experience first. Hike & Create is four days hut-to-hut in the Swiss Alps: ridgeline sunrises, alpine lakes, mountain huts most people only see on their feeds. We're looking for the right people to come together, have the time of their lives, and create the best content they've ever made.

Hey, we are Elias & Kajsa! We are so excited to have you on this trip with us and show you into our world and how we operate. We're originally from Norway but we've been spending every summer in the Alps for the past few years! This area of Switzerland is our absolute favourite — we hiked here with Sam last year and of all the places we've been, it was one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.

I've been to Appenzell many times and there is a reason I keep coming back! I'm so excited to guide you through the mountains, swim in some alpine lakes and create some insane content with you!

Frequently asked questions

The route is moderate — suitable for anyone with a good fitness level and a head for heights. The trails are well-marked (Swiss white-red-white grade) with no technical climbing required. We hike at a relaxed, content-friendly pace with plenty of stops. If you can comfortably walk uphill for a few hours, you'll be fine. Day 1 is the easiest day, with Days 2–4 covering slightly more elevation.

It varies by hut. Schäfler (Night 1) has sink facilities only — part of the authentic mountain experience. Meglisalp (Night 2) has hot showers with toiletries provided. Bollenwees (Night 3) has coin-operated showers available. Pack a small travel towel and a good attitude.

Not at all. The most important thing is that you're good vibes and open to the pace of the trip — if others want to stop and create, you're cool with it. The experience always comes first. Great content is the natural byproduct of showing up fully. Whether you have 500 followers or 500K, you're welcome here.

We recommend bringing a lightweight sleeping bag liner — it's small, light, and ensures you're comfortable at altitude. The huts provide blankets, but a liner keeps things cosy. A full sleeping bag is not necessary.

Switzerland uses Swiss Francs (CHF). Budget roughly 200–350 CHF for the 4 days to cover lunch each day (~20–30 CHF), any drinks, the cable car on Day 1 (~25 CHF), and extras. Cards are accepted at the huts but having some cash is useful.

Yes — we'll store any extra bags in our cars at the start point in Wasserauen for the duration of the trip. Just bring what you need for the 4 days in a hiking pack. We'll have everything waiting for you when you get back down.
