One of the best weeks of my life

The accommodation was amazing, the food delicious, the itinerary balanced and the group leader? Augustine was awesome!

Most Inspirational Moment

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

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!

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of Aiguilette des Posettes and seeing the stunning scenery all around us.

Thoughts on Group Leader

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.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be sure to read the trip notes thoroughly as they provide valuable information! I was fully prepared with gear, fitness level and overall expectations! Highly recommend this trip!

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 💖

Most Inspirational Moment

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.

A wonderful week's walking from our base in Chamonix - the art deco styled chalet La Bedière

A great week’s walking in the mountains around Mont Blanc. First off, a big thank you to the team – Jeffry, Liz and Clare – who were excellent. We had pretty good weather given that it was the end of the season. In fact the first day was spectacular – blue skies and sunshine – making for some memorable photos. Jeff is an exemplary guide, showing amazing dedication to his job. He gave us all the information we wanted and more – he’s quite fond of plants me thinks, and knows a lot about them. Our walks always started with a through warm up session, and then the ascent could begin. Quite steep sometimes, but Jeff was always on hand to help anybody of a more nervous disposition on the more challenging sections. And if all that wasn’t enough – he has a good sense of humour too. Liz and Clare were expert chalet hosts – the breakfast was just right, and there was even porridge offered on some days. The lunch items were varied and tasty, and the cake waiting for us at the end of each walk was very welcome. Really nice food for dinner too. Plenty of variety throughout the week. The chalet La Bedière is based in Chamonix and for me is the best of the three on offer unless you really like hot tubs. Nicely furnished, amazingly warm and good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Centrally located – just ideal.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our first day walking up to L’Aiguillette des Posettes was the highlight of the week because the weather was superb. On a couple of the days mist shrouded the hillsides but even then I enjoyed the terrain and the atmosphere within the forest.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I think I've said enough about him already ;)

Advice for Potential Travellers

You need a reasonable level of fitness, but the walks are all doable unless you really do have bad vertigo. Don't bother with poles unless you use them at home - they're just a hindrance.

Mont Blanc Highlights

Overall a wonderful week.
Jeffrey our hiking guide was the best ever as expressed by experienced group travelers. It was my first group hiking experience and he helped me so much giving so many pointers and encouragement. The Chalet Chocolat was adequate. We had the most spacious room. But the Chalet was tough around the edges and could use some modernization. The meals were overall good. Some dishes were excellent but some not so great. Needed more protein for dinner and a little more variety at breakfast.

Most Inspirational Moment

First and third day hikes.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Wonderful. The best ever! However there was a disagreement with a traveler in our group on the 4 th hike and he pulled out the last day with a sub.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The planning and tour guide and itineraries are wonderful. The accommodations and food are good but definitely not luxurious.

Fantastic time - Mont Blanc Highlights

Mont Blanc is truly spectacular. Our guide Adrian was exceptional and fun! He changed our hiking schedule as necessary to ensure the best experiences and amazing views . We stayed at Chalet Chalupa in Les Houches. The short bus or train ride into Chamonix was very easy, with our guide showing us all the necessary stops. Our hosts were kind and always helpful. The only improvement I would suggest is offering two dinner options.
