A few years ago, on a whim, I set myself a challenge: to complete the Tour du Mont Blanc in total autonomy in 10 days. With a tent and all my food on my back, that was 170 km of hiking and 10,000 meters of elevation gain.
Each day, I walked between 8 and 10 hours with a 17 kg backpack, through breathtaking landscapes. Each evening, the routine was the same: pitch my tent, boil water from a stream, and rehydrate a freeze-dried meal. But every evening, it was the same disappointment: the food simply wasn’t good.
After a few more hikes, I decided enough was enough—I was hungry, and I wanted to eat well, even in the middle of nature.
So, I embarked on a series of experiments: cooking,
dehydrating, cooking, dehydrating, testing, and starting over… testing it on hikes, sharing it with friends, until I was
finally satisfied with my recipes.
And that’s how Alpibreak was born.
Alpibreak is now Switzerland’s first brand of dehydrated meals, created in Geneva.
Alpibreak provides a practical solution for adventure and hiking enthusiasts who desire delicious, nourishing, and lightweight vegetarian or vegan meals and snacks that are easy to prepare while on the move. The meals are meticulously cooked, dehydrated, and hand-packed with care. I prioritize the use of local ingredients and strive to source them in the most sustainable manner possible.
I place great value on quality and the importance of offering healthy food options to individuals passionate about outdoor adventures.
