MONT BLANC HIGHLIGHTS

This was my first group trip and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was my first walking holiday and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was my first holiday without my husband or a friend and I wasn’t sure what to expect. And it was great in every way.

Most Inspirational Moment

Every time we reached a new high point and stopped to take in the view and the cable car trip up L'Aiguille Du Midi when the clouds cleared for a view of the Chamonix valley

Thoughts on Group Leader

Oliver was very knowledgeable about the whole area and added a lot to the walks with his snippets of local history, wildflowers and animals and his truly dreadful jokes, the sort you want to groan at but find yourself laughing anyway

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you take a swimming costume - the hot tub in the garden with the view of the mountains at sunset should not be missed

MONT BLANC HIGHLIGHTS

The chance to see the scenery was what inspired us, and we weren’t disappointed. It was stunning.

Most Inspirational Moment

On our first walk, out of a cloudy Switzerland onto the Col de Balme, when the cloud lifted and we had our first views of the Mont Blanc Massif and the Chamonix Valley. Thereafter, apart from one cloudy day, the chance to see the mountains, glaciers and valleys on all the walks was inspirational. The flower meadows were pretty spectacular as well.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Oliver was an excellent guide and companion. He is very knowledgable and a fund of absolutely awful, but very funny, puns and jokes.

Advice for Potential Travellers

As Exodus warn, be prepared for all weathers in the hills. We had everything from 5 degrees in sleet to 28 degrees in bright sunshine, and used all our various layers on several occasions. If you are used to hotel accommodation, the chalet rooms are a little smaller - clean and comfortable, but smaller. We had previously done the walks on Classic Dolomites and White Villages of the Sierra Nevada, and this provided a similar degree of challenge, perhaps a little more challenging on the one day when the temperature was 28 degrees - enough for us.

Loved the walking and came back feeling much fitter, and relaxed. Beautiful area- when the mist cleared to allow us to see it…

Most Inspirational Moment

The last day when the weather finally cleared and we saw the summit of Mont Blanc for our climb up Le Brevant. Topped off by seeing a golden eagle soaring over us as we approached the top of our walk.I also loved our walk in the Ferret Valley with stunning views and beautiful alpine flowers.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Oliver is a charming, polite, gentle, patient leader with fabulous local knowledge.His jokes have already been mentioned in previous reviews, so I won't dwell on them.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I found walking poles very useful! I wore my wet trousers and fleece and rain jacket everyday for the first 4 days, so make sure you have the right kit and that it is comfortable. Having said that- the rain did not spoil the walk or my enjoyment on any day.

Excellent. Obviously V experienced & made the whole thing stress free. Vast local knowledge.

A real variety of walks, plenty of stops, many in "refuges" with coffee & tarts! Comfortable accommodation with lovely home cooked food.
