Amazing!!!
What an unforgettable experience! I won’t lie—it was physically challenging, but the reward was more than worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Agustine, was incredibly kind and patient (especially when I fell behind the group a few times). He was always calm and encouraging, truly embodying a “Buddha state of mind.” Nothing seemed to faze him—such an amazing person! My friend and I stayed at The Bediere Chalet, and all I can say is—wow. The location was stunning, and the chalet itself felt like a dream home for the week, with the most spectacular views. Our hosts, Sandro and Violetta, were just fantastic—so full of life, warmth, and humor. Their delicious cooking and cheerful, cheeky spirits made every day even more special. If you asked me right now, “Would you do this tour again?” — my answer would be a resounding yes. I walked away with such clarity of mind, a refreshed perspective on my priorities, and truly some of the best memories. If you’re someone like me—often buried in work and in need of a change of pace—this experience is exactly what you need

Unforgettable week
Really enjoyed this trek around Mont Blanc. Breathtaking views of snowcapped mountains. Our hosts Zandro and Violetta were so friendly and helpful and served up delicious food every day. Varied treks every day, led by Agu who was THE BEST LEADER ever. So knowledgeable about the area and very helpful, especially when he fixed my rucksack!!🤭😁 Most of all he was great fun as were the group.

Reaching every summit.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Augustine was sensational. Gave us lots of information, looked after our welfare, went above and beyond what one expects of a group leader. I want to go back and do the 2 week Tour de Mont Blanc next year BUT only if Augustine is our leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just do it. You won’t regret it
Outrageously delightful
In so many ways this trip was not stressful.
To be able to do so many wonderful things and not have any issues or concerns made a strenuous hiking holiday relaxing and enjoyable.

Reaching the top of each climb
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian is inspirational kind caring and very humorous. Very organized and understanding of the challenges that each tripper experiences on a guided tour with varying degrees of ability. All are included and treated with respect.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Allow the trip to play out as thought and effort has created the best and safest experience for people of varying abilities. Trust the plan for the day, relax, exercise and enjoy the best the Alps have to offer

We’ve just returned from the Mont Blanc Highlights hiking trip, and it was unforgettable—largely thanks to our incredible guide, Adrian.
From day one, Adrian set the tone with energy, humour, and crystal-clear briefings that made every hike feel exciting and manageable. His knowledge of the trails are amazing and the views are absolutely stunning.
Adrian struck the perfect balance: relaxed and fun, yet always professional and organised. His enthusiasm and calm leadership turned a great trip into an outstanding one. He made us feel safe, challenged, and totally immersed in the mountain magic.
Can’t recommend this trip—and Adrian—highly enough.
(We even wrote him a poem… that’s how good he was!)

Adrian was Excellent
Mont Blanc Highlights May 2025
We had an incredible time on our recent trip to Mont Blanc! Adrian encouraged us to push ourselves during the hikes and that we did! He led our group with an excitement and energy that kept us going!! Sandro and Violetta made our stay at the chalet feel like home and they both made sure we had dairy free options/meals throughout the day. I looked forward to Violetta’s gluten and dairy free cakes every day after our arduous hikes! I think we really lucked out with having the loft as our room for the week. We woke up to the sunrise over the mountains every morning and it was truly a sight to see. And our group of fellow travelers is one I will remember fondly!
A Journey to Remember
This holiday was a wonderful blend of physical challenge, beautiful scenery and charming culture. We returned home refreshed and already thinking of our next hiking adventure!

Our group leader, Adrian, was knowledgeable, passionate and inspiring. His knowledge of the region was impressive and his enthusiasm stood out. He had an innate ability to read the group’s pace always ensuring everyone felt safe and supported. A large part of what made this trip so unforgettable was because of him.

Mont Blanc Highlights Sept 28 2024
I recently returned from an unforgettable hiking trip with Exodus, exploring the breathtaking Mont Blanc highlights, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived in Chamonix, we were enveloped by the stunning beauty of the Alps. Our chalet was a true gem, offering incredible views of Mont Blanc that made every morning feel magical.
Chamonix itself is a vibrant hub, bursting with life, charming shops, and delicious eateries. Even though we experienced a couple of cloudy and rainy days, the weather didn’t dampen our spirits or our hikes. In fact, the dramatic skies only added to the allure of the landscape, enhancing the beauty of each trail we traversed.
Most Inspirational Moment
A standout moment of the trip was on our free day when we took the Aiguille du Midi cable car to the summit of Mont Blanc. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, a highlight that I will cherish forever.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide Jeffry, was exceptionally professional and organized making sure that everything ran safely and smoothly throughout our adventure. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the region really brought the experience to life. Additionally, we were so well cared for by our chalet hosts, Tom and Sol, who made our stay comfortable and welcoming. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Overall, this hiking trip was a perfect blend of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and good company.
A fabulous trip in so many ways!!
Hiking on Mont Blanc, even late in the season was an experience not to be missed. The weather, though mixed, never stopped our itineraries and we had glorious sunshine on several days. Chamonix and the mountain range are awesome, naturally, but it was the combination of the area with the most welcoming and caring chalet team and the warm artistic vibe of the Art Deco Chalet Bediere that gave this trip such a special place in my heart. Jeffry Oonk, an erudite biologist as well as an experienced and patient mountain guide gave expert guidance and confidence on every section (some quite challenging) of the trails; his instruction, patience and good humour, coupled with a quiet “Well Done” at the end of each trek, was so up-lifting. Clare and Liz made Chalet Bediere a warm and welcoming place; they both went to huge efforts to provide a happy atmosphere, excellent and varied meals and some of the most delicious cakes for afternoon tea, you could imagine. I’m so happy that I was assigned to this particular chalet, with such a brilliant team. We had a small but fabulous group of five; conversations on the hikes and in the chalet were stimulating and full of banter and laughter. I honestly was gutted to leave and end the experience. Thank you to both our chalet team and my group for the most memorable week 💖

On reaching the summit of each ascent and taking in the sheer beauty of the white mountain peaks …. Even more so, on a cloudy day, when the clouds parted and the sun-bathed mountains emerged through the gap … breathtaking!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Experienced, informative, patient, supportive, good-humoured and encouraging; one of the best.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do pack lightweight climbing clothing and waterproof outer wear. Trust in your guide, as there will be some sections that are perhaps more challenging than expected; but the trails are well cared for and there are well-placed wall bars/chains for narrow sections. I highly recommend this trip …. So much is packed into the week, but there is also plenty of time to relax after the day’s hikes, have a cosy drink in town with fellow guests and enjoy dinner together each evening.
