This was my first trip with this tour company and to be honest I was nervous about travelling on my own. The trip was fantastic and one of the best trekking holidays I have been on in a long while. The guide and hosts were very welcoming and helpful, the group were friendly and fun! And the walks just stunning with beautiful with meadow flowers, chocolate box views, glaciers and snow capped mountains. After a hard days walking you come back to wonderful home baked cakes! This is a nice blend of physical challenge and relaxation, a great trip!
This trip was excellent, a great way to see Mont Blanc and the Chamonix Valley without doing the 2 week TMB. The comfort of having a shower and a bed to sleep in at the end of each day makes it all the more appealing.
The walks are excellent and varied with fantastic views each day. A couple of the walks start with cheeky climbs in the morning but the rewards are worthwhile.
Zohi and Ben our Hosts at Chalet Chocolat were excellent and the food was outstanding and one of the highlights of the week.
Hidden treasures aptly describes this lovely walk which crosses beautiful countryside and sleepy villages off the tourist track. With the exception of a few places, we sometimes barely saw a soul all day before arriving at our destinations. Access to GPS is recommended, as it’s easy to miss some paths. Several were very overgrown and muddy, so poles are suggested too. The accommodation was mostly a good standard and hosts were welcoming. As well as visiting many gorgeous villages, highlights were experiencing delicious regional cuisine (evening meals were excellent) and going underground at Gouffre de Padirac.
