Amazing adventure

The hiking tour of the Mount Blanc mountains and area around Chamonix was an amazing experience and adventure. We were very lucky with the weather which for the most part was lovely, but the variety of walks and views made each day a different and thrilling experience. The chalet was cosy and well looked after by our hosts Seb and Carol, who made us feel very welcome, and prepared great breakfasts and lunches to keep us going, as well as delicious cakes as a welcome treat when coming back from a hike, and very tasty and filling dinners.

Most Inspirational Moment

Every day was different, but my favourite trek was Lake Blanc which was beautiful, and the hike was amazing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Adrian was a brilliant group leader. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the different routes and also very friendly and went above and beyond to help each of us have the best week possible. He really helped keep everyone motivated and entertained on what were sometimes quite gruelling hikes.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We were very lucky with the weather, but even on the warmest days it was cold in the mornings, so bring layers to put on and take off. A set of water proofs, just in case, is also a good idea. Some of the hikes were more challenging than we expected. If you're reasonably fit and are okay to do the occasional scrambling over rocks or up ladders you will be fine, but by the end of the week I think we were all physically tired and glad to finish. Also, plan ahead for the day off so you don't have to scramble to find something to do or end up with no plans. Chamonix is lovely but you won't want to spend all day wandering around the shops and cafes.

Fabulous!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reply from Exodus

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.
