Hike & Sketch X Kate Sutton

Trips Dates

9-15th August 2025 - Limited places

sketch your way through the Swiss Alps

Each day, we’ll hike through valleys and over ridgelines, pausing along the way for guided sketching sessions where Kate will help you create your own illustrated travel journal. You’ll learn how to capture the landscape's awe-inspiring peaks, serene meadows, and charming alpine huts, all while developing your own artistic style. Don't worry about perfection—this journey is all about enjoying the process and being inspired by the natural beauty surrounding you on the go.

No need to bring art supplies—we’ll provide everything you need for the week. As we move from hut to hut, spending each night in a different valley or perched atop mountain ranges, you'll immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Alps while honing your creativity. From crisp alpine air to quiet moments sketching in wildflower meadows, this is an adventure for the creative soul seeking both inspiration and challenge.

If you love the idea of combining outdoor adventure with art, this trip is the perfect blend of exploration and creativity.
