Just home from a fab week based in Les Houches, where we felt so at home in a comfortable, happy environment, meeting people from all over the world. Laura, our chalet host looked after us so well with good home made food, suitable for physical demands of the trekking.

Adrian, our group leader, was exceptional - very knowledgable, choosing appropriate routes for the varied weather conditions. His very cheery character made for very happy days, we had real fun whilst working hard up those mountains, setting an excellent pace for the group.
A good level of pre holiday fitness is really necessary to get the most out of this trip.
Just returned from a wonderful week in and around Chamonix. Our group leader Adrian was fantastic at selecting the perfect route for weather condition and amazing views. He enhanced the group experience challenging and entertaining us. The chalet was comfortable with a lovely bunch of people and a kind and helpful chalet host Laura .
Excellent!! Highly recommend him.
Take kit for all weather conditions!
I want to try to write a balanced review, so will start with what we enjoyed and what was good.
We stayed in Chalet Chocolat, which was comfortable and well located for going into Chamonix. We especially liked having the use of the hot tub in the evening after hikes. Trip organisation was good overall, with smooth transport to and from Geneva. Our group leader, Maria, was kind and personable; we were unlucky with the weather but he did a good job of keeping the mood upbeat and looking after a group of varying fitness levels.
The chalet experience overall unfortunately ruined the trip. I don’t know what was going on with the hosts (I won’t name them as I don’t want to single them out), who have some glowing reviews from previous guests, but it just seemed as though they had had enough and didn’t want to be there. They did what they were required to do but nothing more. Surly, unfriendly and generally as though they couldn’t be bothered and that we the guests were kind of annoying. Perhaps our expectations were too high, I’m not quite sure. Mealtimes were rushed, with it feeling as though we needed to just clear off the table as soon as possible so they could tidy up. One evening they had friends staying and were having their own little social gathering through the kitchen window – on that occasion they were in such a hurry that the main course got slammed down before we had all finished our starters. The food was sometimes nice but on the whole quite uninspiring. My vegetarian options were especially poor and on two occasions given to me burnt, with no apology or offer of an alternative. We had to constantly interrupt them from being on their phones to ask for small things like some more water for the table. One day we ran out of milk – again with no sort of apology, just “here you can have this oat milk instead”. These are all tiny things that it seems silly to complain about, but against the backdrop of the experience everything just mounted up. On the final day, no goodbye or anything, just a request that we be out of our rooms by 8am so that they could start cleaning. Exodus perhaps needs to look at giving their chalet hosts a bit more ground support – this couple seemed deeply unhappy in their job and I would always look to the company in a situation like this to find a way to make things better for everyone!
Honestly, for price point of this trip we expected a much better experience. We have stayed in chalet accommodation previously for far less money and had a lovely time. Based on the experience this time around we are unlikely to book with Exodus again.
Go into Chamonix and buy snacks and alcohol from the Super U - much cheaper than the honesty bar in the chalet. Multipack crisps are charged at €1.50 per packet and a small bag of fruit and nuts is €3! There is no proper drying room but you can use your bathroom heater to create your own quite effectively. Take a hairdryer if you like to have one - there was one in the chalet but only because a previous guest had left it there.

This trip was truly amazing! Each day brought breathtaking views and memorable experiences. The Path of the Gods was a standout, with some of the most stunning vistas I’ve ever seen. Standing above the clouds at Monte Tre Calli and exploring Vesuvius added a captivating historical element to our journey. Hotel Due Torri was the perfect retreat, offering a cozy and relaxing spot to unwind after our hikes.
The top of Monte Tre Calli and finding ourselves above the clouds with an spectacular view!
Veriano was exceptional! As a true local expert, he not only shared his deep knowledge of the Amalfi Coast but also went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His recommendations for local food were spot-on, guiding us to hidden gems and must-try dishes. He was always ready with helpful tips, ensuring we had the best experience possible. Veriano’s passion and dedication made the trip truly memorable!
The hikes and steps can be quite strenuous, so be sure to, prepare, wear proper footwear, and bring the right gear.
This trip was absolutely amazing! The route was beautifully planned, with breathtaking coastal views, island villages, and so much natural beauty. Cycling through the islands of Hvar and Korcula was a highlight, and ending in the stunning city of Dubrovnik was the perfect finale. Plus, taking a swim in the sea after a long day of biking was the best way to cool off. It was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—highly recommend it!
After a rewarding climb, the viewpoint overlooking the island of Brac was truly breathtaking!
Our group leader, Bojan, was fantastic! His great knowledge of the local area and our route made a huge difference. He expertly guided us through the hills/ route and even stepped in to fix a flat tire on the go. His support and expertise were truly invaluable!
E- bike is a plus if needed! Otherwise, a support vehicle is there as well
If you want to see as much of the country as possible while enjoying the plethora of wildlife Costa Rica has to offer this is the perfect trip!!
It’s always been a dream of mine to see Toucans in the wild and towards the end of the trip I lost count of how many we spotted.
Our leader Monica was amazing her wildlife knowledge was second to none.
Make sure you have a good quality rain jacket and a good pair of binoculars!
Overall an excellent experience, headquartered in Campitello de Fassa. Accommodations/food was very good. Hiking all fun. Great leaders.
My only recommendation would be the city busses were not timely, and they were full at times; having been cut back from the summer schedule..
It would be worth a few extra $ to have private transportation in the morning to the hike/gondola site.
Probably first day experiencing Marmolada on a beautiful sunny day.
Both Jenny and Pol were excellent
be prepared with rain gear.
The week was full of many different experiences. Despite a smaller group than usual, the walking was excellent, even though it was very hot. The wine-tastings were very different, and all informative, some with some nice nibbles included. The hotel is lovely with an excellent (ask for a room with a view) with a swimming pool and home made pizzas to die for. City-wise, we visited St Gimignano, Siena (brilliant guided tour included) and Florence. Our guide, Jordan, did a great job keeping us under control.
Meeting El Magnifico in his bakery in Siena
Brilliant
Make sure you get a room with a view Take lots of water on the walks!
This was a truly delightful holiday – one of my best ever. Beautiful, inspiring places to visit. Fabulous hotel with welcoming staff and delicious food. An amazing local tour guide who made us feel like VIPs. An itinerary custom-designed to delight all the family. Opportunities for the kids to learn to make local dishes in the hotel kitchen. A lovely tour group who we got on so well with. If exodus do other such holidays will join in an instant.
Reaching the halfway point on the "Pathway of the Gods" walk. While a hot and sweaty walk in >30 heat, the vista we were presented with was incredible. The Amalfi peninsula marching into the shimmering sea with the Isle of Capri tantalizingly in the distance.
Fantastic. He clearly knew the local area so well and helped us avoid the tourist traps and find the hidden treasures. He was always friendly, never a chore. He was one of the highlights of the trip.
Book, you won't regret it. In height of summer it is hot - be prepared! On your free day, a visit to Ravello is a great choice. Go for the package of 7 cocktails at the hotel bar - a great deal. Try a limoncello spritz!
