A beautiful & challenging trek. Not at all to be underestimated, but acheivable for any fit hiker who will be rewarded with stunning views at the end of every climb. We experienced all possible weather, from arriving at the refuge in heavy snow to glorious sunshine on many trails, which only added to the scenery and experience.
Had an absolute blast on this trip! Our tour guide Pete K went above and beyond to create such a memorable holiday. I was a nervous traveler being my first time to Europe, however Pete soon had me feeling confident and safe. The 18 day itinerary was packed with so many of my bucket list places and then some. There were so many laughs along the way and friendships made. I learnt so much about the history and culture of Europe. Definitely take your tour guides advice for the best foods and experiences to try. Some of my best food experiences came from finding places with no English on the menu. Silvian our driver was phenomenal, the way he handled the traffic in Paris I knew we were in good hands. He also let us stop for some amazing scenery pictures along the way. I recommend this trip for everyone and can't wait to come back for more expat tours.
Enjoyed every min of the experience It was physically challenged going up and down. But at every turn the scenery was magnificent, that added extra "air" to your lungs... The hotels were good, and the food was great.
