Highly recommend this trip
Best holiday ever!!!
Wonderful experience.
We were lucky to have attended this trip with glorious weather throughout and had an amazing time with a real diverse bunch of interesting people from all over the world. The Exodus leader Fred was always quite laid back which reflected on the walks which were conducted at a nice pace without feeling too hurried.
The two girls who operated the chalet were both exceptional and added to the overall pleasure of this trip. The food they provided was a culinary delight for all.
Despite a record breaking heatwave we still experience snow walking at 35c which was a real head-bender.
We booked late so ended up in the loft area of the chalet but even that was more than comfortable. The walks are breathtaking and you will find yourself forever stopping for photos.

We did the parasailing which was incredible. We were in the air for a good 40 minutes so could really take it all in. Please book this using the firm Air Sports which Exodus recommends.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fred was a lovely chap who appeared very laid back but also someone who was fully competent at his job and it showed. I have a fear of steep edges and he calmly encouraged me to overcome this is a professional manner.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you have plenty of room on your camera roll.
the best one so far
Loved everything about this trip, the chalet, the staff, the food and of course the hiking. Chalet holidays bring out the social side of people and the 13 guests made this trip fabulous and so much fun. Zoe and Ben, your food exceeds expectations!
Most Inspirational Moment
The fantastic scenery.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very professional and knowledgeable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do ensure you are fit to hill climb.
Fantastic trip
We had an excellent holiday around mont blanc. Zoe and Ben were great hosts at chalet chocolat. We are both vegetarian and the food was superb. We loved the freshly baked cake on our return from our hikes. Mark was a great leader and very knowledgeable about the area. Overall 10 out of 10 from us.
Most Inspirational Moment
All of the walks were great. We particularly enjoyed the amazing panoramic views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mark had extensive knowledge of the area and catered well for the needs of the whole group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
To fully enjoy the walks you need to be able to cope with the ascents - it's worth it when you get there! Our leader, Mark, made sure we had enough rest/water stops and we stayed together as a group.
Mont Blanc-Chamonix
My first Exodus Holiday and hopefully not the last. I have wanted to see Mont Blanc close up for years and, after visiting Chamonix for the day last year and NOT seeing it because of low cloud, this holiday was a ‘must do’ for me. I am now 77 so time was running out.
Apart from being shocked by my lack of fitness (I joined a gym and did as much walking as practical – my husband has dementia} beforehand, everything exceeded my expectations: the chalet, our hosts (superb}, the lovely food, our leader (brilliant), a really friendly, kind, and helpful group, the fantastic mountains, and perfect weather.
Thank you so much Exodus

Seeing Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi from our chalet for the first time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was brilliant. She was knowledgeable, supportive, kind, and good fun. When I struggled she was really helpful and understanding. She really helped to make the holiday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I am sure I would have benefited from more really steep ups and downs in my legs beforehand.
The Good Life
Summer Time and the living was made so easy in Chalet Chocolat by our outstanding hosts Zohi and Ben, they presented us with a smorgasbord of delights on a daily basis , starters, mains and desserts to die for. If that was not enough, GBBO standards of cake for afternoon tea . While sitting in a hot tub soothing tired muscles looking towards Mont Blanc we all concluded that location may be everything but our Hosts were the icing on the cake. We also did a bit of walking, words can’t really capture that part!
Most Inspirational Moment
Balcony walk and the stunning views at every turn
Very sad
Flight was cancelled, accommodation is unacceptable, staff pushed to their limits, everything was in a rush, and all what Exodus can say – we are very sorry and will not consider any form of compensation

Exchanging emails with you guys
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was under too much pressure
Advice for Potential Travellers
Yes, avoid it, use Exploor, Intrepid or Tucan instead
The highlights without all the work!
A superb selection of hikes on the Tour, an excellent guide, easy transport to less accessible start/finish points. and a lovely chalet and hosts is an unbeatable introduction to the glories of the Alps. The weather, well, you need a bit of luck. We did, for most of the hikes. Thoroughly recommended.
Most Inspirational Moment
Undoubtedly the views of Mont Blanc from all the angles, whatever the weather. But if I had to choose, it would be the summit of Brevent with full views of the massifs in blazing sunshine over a picnic lunch.
Thoughts on Group Leader
John was excellent! An experienced guide & climber, instruction, information & encouragement all rolled into one.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Previous feedback suggests that this is a Grade 2 or 3. For me, this is definitely a Grade 3 - mostly easy walking, minor huff and puff on sections of some walks.
A great week in the Mont Blanc area
A fantastic week. The accommodation was top notch as were the chalet caterers. The description of the weeks walk was accurate sadly the weather let us down a little.

Thoughts on Group Leader
A fantastic weeks walking with our guide John Briggs. John proved to have in depth knowledge of the area. He was able to juggle the itinerary to suite the weather conditions. Our group was mixed ability and John set an appropriate pace and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time should anyone need advice, encouragement or just a little reassurance. His evening briefings were informative and gave us all the information we would need for the next days walk. Top quality guide.
