⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a fantastic experience of 4 days…

What a fantastic experience of 4 days in the beautiful Alps! Very well organised and a very knowledgable lovely guide Alena. Managing the whole group, Alena was able to address everyone’s needs and make the trip so enjoyable. I am fairly new to hiking (first time in the mountains), but with guidance I learned to be more confident and independent (I didn’t want to take walking poles at first, but Alena knew much better! :) ). One of my best holiday experiences - challenging, enjoyable, and absolutely beautiful! (Birute, September 2024, Trust Pilot)


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️An Unforgettable Four-Day Hike in the Alps!

I recently embarked on a four-day hiking adventure in the Alps, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Charles, was absolutely fabulous. His spiritual nature added a unique and enriching dimension to the trip. He even led us in yoga sessions, which were a wonderful extra touch that helped us connect with the stunning surroundings.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after each day’s hike. The food, was delicious and satisfying, giving us the energy we needed for our daily treks.

The views were simply breathtaking. Every turn revealed a new, awe-inspiring landscape that left us speechless. The company was great too, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, this trip was an incredible journey that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Alps. Thank you, Charles, for making it so memorable! (Joanne Farrell, Google, September 2024). 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What an amazing adventure..my first of many I hope. So well organised, I didn't have to think about anything or make any decisions, a great relief from reality!. The group I was part of were so lovely supportive and happy and Charles our guide was amazing, clearly passionate about his job and making us all feel part of something special which it was. I would recommend this Tour of Mont Blanc to everyone. (Katie Scattergood, Google, August 2024).

Day 1 image

Courmayeur to Val Ferret

Distance: 5.8km. Ascent: 550m. Descent: 50m. Max altitude: 2,056m 

Time: 3 or 4 hours

You can be picked up from Geneva airport at 08:00 am or meet the rest of the team and the Guide at Vert Lodge Hotel, Chamonix,  at 09:00 am.
Here, you will meet the group and guide, be given an initial briefing and have your equipment checked. You can leave anything you don't need in our secure baggage room.
Then, we will drive through the Mont Blanc Tunnel to Planpincieux. From here (after a coffee), you hike up from the Val Ferret valley, enjoying incredible views of the backside of Mont Blanc along the way. Spot the Glacier and walk past waterfalls. 

In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at the remote Rifugio W. Bonatti (mountain hut) at 2,025m altitude. You can enjoy a drink on the terrace while you wait for your 4-course Italian meal!

This day is more of a warm-up and familiarisation day, but most people appreciate the chance to enjoy the beauty and get used to the altitude and steepness of the paths.

A gentle start along the balcony route will warm you up nicely as the sun hits you as it peaks over the mountains.

In the afternoon, you descend into Switzerland. Along the way, you will pass through a local farm where you can sample some local cheeses before you reach La Fouly.
