Add your own reviewFabulous week hiking the TMB
Had a wonderful week hiking the TMB, Egle our guide was fantastic (Lot’s of patience) had the most fantastic group of people to hike with. The TMB itself was just outstanding, the ascents were pretty tough going, you are rewarded with the most stunning views.
Most Inspirational Moment
Just being present in the moment of all the wonderful and stunning views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was just wonderful, lots of patience.
Excellent week on Tour du Mont Blanc!
The week was very well organized and very well led by Egle. The accommodation and food were great and each day’s walk was an adventure.
Most Inspirational Moment
The best moment was when we reached the Grand Col Ferret, with stunning views of the glaciers and the valley ahead.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was very good. She did not rush us and she allowed the faster walkers to go ahead, while keeping an eye on everyone. Her relaxed manner allowed us all to enjoy the week. One of our party fell and badly gashed her head. Egle was very calm and patched her up as much as possible. We then helped the injured person walk about a kilometre to the next refuge where Egle called for a helicopter. I would be happy to do another tour with Egle as leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
My advice would be to only carry two sets of clothes, one for walking and one for the evening. I think it would be helpful to put this advice in the Exodus literature.
Suggestions
No.
TMB a dream come true
An excellent fulfilled week spent well. Our guide was unbelievably knowledgeable of everything from the mountains to the flowers. Simply couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead us , thanks Jason.
If I were to change anything it would be to introduce a baggage transfer service.
Most Inspirational Moment
Crossing the col ferret - the clouds then cleared to give us the most magnificent scenes of mountains and Mont Blanc
Thoughts on Group Leader
As stated in summary , best guy ever . He cared about each and every one of us and even gave me his poles half way thru the trip when I lost mine! Forever grateful 🥹
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a challenging trip with long hillwalking days . To enjoy it fully be fit.
Suggestions
I’d suggest a baggage transfer service ,
A fantastic way to spend a week.
Not easy but very rewarding,especially at my age.the ascents were steady and the views fantastic,but the descents were relentless so some training pays dividends.The accommodation was good as was the food.Our guide was superb having to cope with people who walk at different paces is not easy,as everybody has to be kept as safe as possible .Finally the people in the group were fantastic ,very supportive,willing to share food and medical supplies and the evenings were a riot of humour .Cannot wait to go on another trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Having sleet and snow on the first day made the views on the second day even better as the peaks were covered in fresh snow as was the Grand Col Ferret,The group made the trip unforgettable,really good company.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide did a great job ,she had time for everybody and spent a lot of time encouraging the slower members of the group without fussing.Her knowledge and organisation were very good so we got to breakfast on time and started our walking on time.She also had a great sense of humour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do some training if you are not hill walking regularly.You will manage the ascents but the descent are long and really give the leg joints some stress.Walking poles certainly helped .Take a small lightweight camera,i took an DSLR and hardly used it ,it was easier to use the phone camera which took good photos.
Suggestions
To have such a diverse range of people in the group really made it for me ,i learnt so much about what other people do.I shall never forget forget this holiday.
Great guide, great company, great trip
A fantastic trip. Everything I hoped for and more with a great bunch of fellow travellers and a patient, tolerant and lovely guide (Egle)
Most Inspirational Moment
Crossing the many cols in snow and sun, rain and wind. Cold beers at the end and the enjoyable banter!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was excellent. Patient and good humoured at all times
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack light but take at least three pairs of socks! Yes you can wash them but we found they didn't dry overnight. Synthetic t shirts are a must. Don't forget fresh clothes for Chamonix. Do take gloves and hats. We had snow! For the same reason good boots essential.
Suggestions
Budget approximately 150 Euro in cash per person unless you like drinking water only.... More if you're fond of beer and wine! No need for Swiss francs
Excellent trip
I loved this hiking holiday!! We had some serious hiking on this trip. Long days, some days with really high mileage and good ascent. Our hike leader was excellent, she really knew the area very well and was extremely helpful with practical tips throughout the trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
The most inspirational moment was realisation of doing all that ascent to reach the top of the mountain
A Brilliant Week of Hiking!
This was great trip – we continually had spectacular views of the Mont Blanc massif and the surrounding area. There was a relatively consistent amount of trekking each day but it never felt like a chore. The hiking routes were well thought out and you were never too far from a mountain coffee shop for a well deserved rest. Our guide Egle was excellent and really made the holiday a lot of fun!
Most Inspirational Moment
Difficult to choose just one but the passes over from Switzerland to Italy and then Italy into France were phenomenal. The last day hiking around the Chamonix valley was also amazing with clear views of Mont Blanc.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Spending a week with Egle was a real treat. She was knowledgeable, fun and looked after the group brilliantly. She really made the holiday and brought the group together. 10 out of 10.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Plan to make your hiking bag as light as possible, its weight will make real difference to the enjoyment of the hiking. You also do not need to carry gallons of water - there are fairly regular opportunities to refill each day.
Suggestions
The breakfast buffets provide a great opportunity to make a nice lunch but I'd recommend bringing some snacks along from home as there are not a lot of opportunities for food shopping.
The Alps Are Wonderful
We have always wanted to hike the Mont Blanc Circuit, but didn’t want to hike it alone. We wanted to go with an international group as we love meeting new people, especially from outside the US. Our group members were funny and interesting, and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer group of people.
And the mountains! This trip does a great job of giving you the highlights of the circuit. I’d highly recommend it and do it again.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hiking from Switzerland into Italy over the Grand Col Ferret was one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Peter M. was kind, knowledgeable, and a delight as a human being. He dealt with some difficult situations with humor and grace. His knowledge of the Alps and trekking was vast. He managed the snowy portion of the route with excellent guidance and advice. I feel my hiking is much improved over that type of terrain, which previously scared me.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We are very physically active and hike a lot in our home state of Colorado and still found the hikes challenging. The elevation gain and loss each day are significant. Also, these are long days on your feet, so bring dependable hiking boots. When Exodus recommends that you bring specific gear, I'd heed their advice as you'll need it. I'd also try to pack as light as possible.
A superb trip with breathtaking views.....
This is a superb trip. Fitness tested but did improve as the week went on. A “fast and light” way to achieve the Tour du Mont Blanc with only a weeks leave. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Many thanks Exodus.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking down into Orzieres and finding our quirky little hotel with a friendly manager and lovely food. A beer in the local cafe rounded off the day. Waking up in Italy to bright blue skies and phenomenal views that we hadn't seen the day before. The coffee in the refuges was a highlight and a welcome pit stop. This is a challenging trek and completing each day left you tired but happy (and nursing the odd blister!)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nick was an excellent leader with extensive alpine knowledge. He looked after the group well, altered plans as required and kept us entertained!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel light! The hardest bit is carrying 10 kgs on your back. You really do not need much. I managed to wash a tee shirt and trousers and they dried (just) overnight. If your feet are at all vulnerable, protect heels and toes with tape (zinc oxide/kinesio tape - learnt from my fellow travellers) as walking with open blisters can be very challenging!
Suggestions
Excellent trip. Made all the more fun by a really great group of people who got on well and supported each other.
Tour Du Mont Blanc Week
Great people and beautiful scenery on a challenging but very enjoyable trip. Shame about the poor Exodus admin prior to the trip and the failure of any Exodus representative to meet us upon arrival at the airport (as promised).
Most Inspirational Moment
Just being in the mountains with such magnificent views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
There were 11 in the group and only 1 leader. At times the leader seemed oblivious to the fact that some members of the group had fallen so far behind that they could no longer be seen.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack light!
Suggestions
It was a wonderful trip but I was quite disappointed in the service provided by Exodus as I had heard many good things about the company and this was my first time on an Exodus adventure. One of the ladies on the trip arrived at the airport to find that she hadn't been booked on to her flight and had to make last minute arrangements herself. This has put me off travelling with Exodus again
