This hiking/trekking holiday was an amazing experience which included daily challenging hikes along with the incredible natural beauty of Mont Blanc, its' valleys and surrounding mountains. Our tour mates, 13 women and one man were all wonderfully kind and supportive of one another as we worked hard to meet our daily hiking challenges. I couldn't have completed this trip without many weeks of training yet I still found the river crossings and some of the terrain, loose rocks making foot placement challenging, to be at the top end of what I was comfortable with. Thank goodness for my waterproof boots and my tour group which kept a slow and steady pace.
An excellent trip from start to finish. Well organised by the tour operator, which allowed us to feel relaxed and let it be a "holiday" as well as a challenge.
Superb Alpine walking holiday with inimitably wonderful chalet hosts and walking guide I simply cannot fault the Mont Blanc Highlights holiday with Exodus Travels. The walks were challenging and wonderfully varied in terms of terrain, steepness, flora and fauna and views - which were utterly worth the exertion.
Chalet Chamonix was an absolute dream, made so by the hosts Sarah and Rich, whose hospitality knew no bounds. So warm, thoughtful, intuitive. Amazingly gourmet cuisine, and they also made my birthday there very special too. I cannot rate them highly enough. So sad that this is their last season!!
Mark, the walking guide is super fit and knows his stuff re geography and points of interest. He is kind too and although we had a schedule to stick to, he catered for the abilities of the entire group, in terms of sufficient R&R along the routes.
Chalet Chamonix is in a perfect location for a stroll into the shopping and relaxing delights of the town. Huge lido too, for swimming plus fun slides in a separate area.
