Reviews (Out of 5⭐️s)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️An absolutely amazing trip organised by Tom! Our guides, Dave & Ben, were fantastic and very helpful. Spectacular views - the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for this wonderful experience. (Steven July 2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mont Blanc Ascent Week.
What an experience! Not for the faint-hearted. The week is extremely well structured to offer the best chance of acclimatisation to tackle Mont Blanc. Our guides (Ben and Dave) were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and patient with our mixed group. They were enthusiastic and keen to give everyone the best chance possible to summit. Whilst I had experience, this was still a physically demanding week, and the advice on training should be followed. Technically, climbing the peaks is not very difficult, but some scrambling experience would be advantageous.
We didn’t quite reach the summit due to poor snow conditions, but we all gained valuable mountain experience and learned lessons in safety and leadership.
An exceptional week in the mountains, though, but thoroughly enjoyable. Well planned, well executed, great guides, great huts, great experience. Many thanks. (Paul July 2024)
