Mont Blanc Tours in Fall

I've wanted to do this hike for so long and it really didn't disappoint. The days were long, steep and tough from the very first day to the last but the scenery was just stunning. I loved crossing from one country to the next, seeing the landscape change from alpine cliff to meadow, to glacial valley. It was beautiful. It is full on so get some hill training in but this really was beautiful.

The hiking tour of the Mount Blanc mountains and area around Chamonix was an amazing experience and adventure. We were very lucky with the weather which for the most part was lovely, but the variety of walks and views made each day a different and thrilling experience. The chalet was cosy and well looked after by our hosts Seb and Carol, who made us feel very welcome, and prepared great breakfasts and lunches to keep us going, as well as delicious cakes as a welcome treat when coming back from a hike, and very tasty and filling dinners.

Just returned from a fabulous week of walking the highlights of Mont Blanc. Great walks with our guide Adrian, wonderful food provided by Sebastian & Carolina. Stayed in Chalet Chalupa in Les Houches which was comfortable and the area was nice and quite away from Chamonix’s hustle and bustle. The walks were challenging for a level 3 however well worth it for the views. Lovely to come back from the walks mid afternoon to homemade cakes!

What a week! The hikes were challenging at times but totally worth it as the views at the top were outstanding. The chalet was comfortable with a variety of delicious home cooked meals by Sebastian and Carolina including cake and coffee on our return. Chamonix-Mont-Blanc was a lovely experience as well, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Our guide Adrian was outstanding and he kept the pace steady to suit all of our group. His energy and enthusiasm was endless and he had us all laughing throughout the week. Loved the whole experience.

Just finished 1 week of hiking tour. We stayed in Chamonix in a very nice Chalet. Loved the town.Beautiful and convenient. Enjoyed taking the trains to the trailheads. The hikes for this tour is much harder than the other Level 3 hike we’ve done with Exodus. Most hikes here are 2500 feet elevations to close to 3000 feet elevations daily. Most about 7-8 miles. Some chains, ladders. But our guide Egle was great and able to give us continued support and encouragement. The views at the top was worth every sweat. It is indeed a beautiful place. We enjoyed the hikes, the company.

Highlights of Mt Blanc left me with fantastic memories. Leader Sophie coped with our large (15) group expertly. There were some tough, steep uphill and downhill stretches but I persisted and overcame a lack of fitness. Varied itinerary - heights, forests, but all scenic. Hotel was Ok, food good (not great) but a wine list inadequate in both price and quality.
