Skanda Vale Hospice Swiss Lakes Challenge

Brother Jakob is raising money for Skanda Vale Hospice

Swiss Lakes Challenge · 12 September 2026 ·

Fifteen kilometres across a high Alpine plateau, past a dozen glacial lakes in every shade of turquoise, with 900 metres of ascent and the option to swim in water that’s about 5°C. All for a very good cause.

Story

Support me to complete the Swiss Lakes Challenge for Skanda Vale Hospice:

I will be heading to the Swiss Alps for a sponsored mountain hike — a proper day in the high mountains, raising serious funds for families living with life-limiting illness. As the lead guide I will be making sure that the group of supporters will make it safely around the lakes and back to the trailhead!

The route crosses a high Alpine plateau above Davos, threading between roughly a dozen glacial lakes, each a different shade of turquoise, each sitting in its own hollow of grey rock and thin air. There’s a steep cliff section, two mountain passes above 2,700m.

Every pound and every franc raised helps Skanda Vale Hospice continue offering unhurried, compassionate care to people and families living with life-limiting illness.
