Add your own reviewFabulous!!
Just returned from a fabulous week of walking the highlights of Mont Blanc. Great walks with our guide Adrian, wonderful food provided by Sebastian & Carolina. Stayed in Chalet Chalupa in Les Houches which was comfortable and the area was nice and quite away from Chamonix’s hustle and bustle. The walks were challenging for a level 3 however well worth it for the views. Lovely to come back from the walks mid afternoon to homemade cakes!
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to choose as every day was slightly different
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian was great. He was kind, funny and considerate. He took into consideration the levels of fitness for the group he was leading . We had a group meeting every evening for Adrian to let us know about the walk the following day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Chalet Chalupa had loads of walking poles for guests to use. Sturdy walking boots a must. Just book the holiday and Enjoy!
Awesome
What a week! The hikes were challenging at times but totally worth it as the views at the top were outstanding.
The chalet was comfortable with a variety of delicious home cooked meals by Sebastian and Carolina including cake and coffee on our return.
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc was a lovely experience as well, especially if you have a sweet tooth.
Our guide Adrian was outstanding and he kept the pace steady to suit all of our group.
His energy and enthusiasm was endless and he had us all laughing throughout the week.
Loved the whole experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Crossing the bouncy suspension bridge, quita feat if you have a fear of heights!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Superb
Advice for Potential Travellers
Book in advance if you want to go up the cable car to Aiguille du Midi as the queues are long. Alternatively go in the pm when it’s quieter.
Beautiful views
Just finished 1 week of hiking tour. We stayed in Chamonix in a very nice Chalet. Loved the town.Beautiful and convenient. Enjoyed taking the trains to the trailheads. The hikes for this tour is much harder than the other Level 3 hike we’ve done with Exodus. Most hikes here are 2500 feet elevations to close to 3000 feet elevations daily. Most about 7-8 miles. Some chains, ladders. But our guide Egle was great and able to give us continued support and encouragement. The views at the top was worth every sweat. It is indeed a beautiful place. We enjoyed the hikes, the company.
Most Inspirational Moment
The last day. We did a long and tough hike with a few chains and rock scrambling.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Loved Egle. The support staff are great also.
Advice for Potential Travellers
All the hikes are tough. The area is beautiful. Loved the trip. If you have time, sign up for paragliding. It is weather dependent.
On top of the World
What an amazing week we have had in the French Alps! It was the first time we have travelled with Exodus and would certainly travel with them again. So well organised from start to finish, from the information given beforehand, the pick ups, accommodation, hospitality, food and hikes. All amazing! The quality of food produced by Carolina and Seb was top class.
Our guide Adrian was so kind, funny and knowledgeable of this area he made hiking so enjoyable.
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery was absolutely stunning everywhere we went.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian
Advice for Potential Travellers
The hikes are varied and not as hard as you would think for the alps.
Hiking Mont Blank
Amazing experience with a very knowledgeable guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
The best moment for me was the first climb of the week and the view from the mountain. Exilerating!
Thoughts on Group Leader
My leader Adrian was great! Experienced and took care of each of our levels of experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Ensure you are prepared for the steep climbs and tough downhills.
Excellent experience
Great: the chalet, the hosts, Chamonix,the guide, the hikes, the rest day, my fellow hikers
Not great: the altitude, at least at the beginning, then I got more used to it
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the tops of the climbs, seeing Mont Blanc
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian was fun, energetic, encouraging, and patient.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Hike, a lot, uphill…if possible at altitude. It will be hard, it will be worth it.
Amazing Week
Each daily hike was carefully curated by our guide to best fit our group and the weather to showcase the Mont Blanc Tour. Breathtaking! The hospitality shown through our accommodation and food was excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Achieving the summit on our first day and experiencing the panoramic views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian was fantastic. He was expert at knowing the hiking trails, safety and supporting/ guiding us at our individual skill levels. Such a personable leader. He was the key to the successful week.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The hikes are challenging and require a certain level of cardiovascular fitness. If you can, go a day or so ahead of time to acclimatize to the altitude and recover from any travel fatigue. Enjoy the camaraderie of your group- hearing about their different hiking experiences and backgrounds is part of our he journey.
Mount Blanc Highlights
A superb week . Fantastic accommodation, delicious nutritional food
Most Inspirational Moment
Being immersed in the mountains
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian was kind, funny , entertaining , knowledgable , empathetic and so professional ! Can’t praise him enough
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just do it !
Excellant Trip
I did this trip in May, the trip itself was excellant. The accomodation in Chalet Bediere was clean and comfortable and the food supplied by Sandro and Violeter was superb (the evening meals, lunch provisions and afternoon cake). I am an experienced hiker and did not find the walks too challenging.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader, Augustine was very good. He provided us with plenty of information about the walks and lots of options for our rest day (which was a rainy day).
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be wary of the disconnect between the Exodus main office staff and their local agents. (1) I was told the wrong rest day. This was rectified but still caused some inconvenience (I had pre-booked a paraglide). (2) After being denied a single supplement solo room I requested if any situation arose whereby I could secure a solo room then I would like one. I ended up sharing so it was frustrating to later discover:- (a) that four people on the trip had solo rooms without paying the supplement (one of whom booked just days before the departure date and two who were split out of a shared twin room because there was an empty room!), (b) that my request had never been passed to the local agents who do the room allocation! Hence only four stars.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip overall—especially the hospitality from our chalet hosts
On the other hand, we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the rest day miscommunication and the frustration around room allocations. Single supplement rooms are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with rare exceptions made for personal circumstances. We acknowledge that your request for a solo room wasn’t passed to our local team, and we’re reviewing our processes to prevent this in future.
We understand that our customer services team has been in direct contact to address your concerns in more detail. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon.
The Exodus Team
Awesome alps
This was my first exodus trip and everything was catered for, our chalet Le Bediere was comfortable and our hosts Sandro and Vieletta were so accommodating and welcoming, they cooked delicious meals every evening and freshly baked cakes to welcome us home after our hikes which were so delish and gratefully received! Also happy to recommend good restaurants, spa locations and other ideas for days off activities. The chalet was clean and comfortable, a wee home from home. Our group of 7 got on great, we bonded during the hikes, chats and meals together, everyone was encouraging and supportive, many interesting chats were had along the ways. Some parts of each hike are challenging but our guide Mark set the pace just right and looked after the entire squad very well. Chamonix is busy and vibrant, there was a jazz festival on during our visit and lots of shops and restaurants and things to do. The chalet is perfectly placed to enjoy everything right on the doorstep, only good vibes noted.
Most Inspirational Moment
Driving through the Mont Blanc tunnel with no issues and arriving in gorgeous sunshine for a hike through the alpine hills in Italy. Trekking to Refuge Bonatti and finding out from Mark the story to this man’s interesting life. Set in alpine meadows with waterfalls and streams flowing down, teaming with wildflowers and butterflies everywhere, truly magical. Then ice cream, such a perfect day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mark is an experienced guide and what he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing POV. He was full of interesting stories, facts and knowledge about the area, the people, the flora and the fauna. He has such a keen eye and was able to spot animals so quickly, and we seen a lot! Ibex, chamois, wee shrews and a beautiful fox, lots of marmots and birds too. We had daily briefings before supper to plan our route, he made changes to benefit us with weather conditions and times etc, everything went like clockwork and again we can thank Mark for his experience and foresight! Easy going and funny with jokes along the way but also serious at times when caution was needed, we all felt safe under his guidance. His knowledge of the area is extensive and he is happy to share it with you and answered all the questions we had.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for steep climbs at times but rest breaks are well timed. Enjoy the majestic 360 degree views at every turn and breath in the fresh alpine air. Good boots and two pairs of socks keep blisters at bay and normally I don’t use trekking poles but they were invaluable, esp on the more rocky terrain. Check out the spa in Chamonix, good for tired legs on the free day and Auguille Du Midi is so much better when it’s a clear day if you can plan for it, good luck. The trail descents can be tricky too so watch out, and you will love this trip.
