Gran Paradiso Guided Hike

Just wanted to say thank you to you and your team. The trip was amazing. Right from the first contact we made with you and your team things ran seamlessly. The walk itself was one none of us will ever forget. The 6 days prior to the Gran Paradiso summit were unreal. Every day I found myself having to stop and look around at the absolute beauty of our surroundings. The accommodation was very well organised and really well looked after. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food on the other hand was top notch. After a full day of walking nothing better than a hearty homemade meal – 3 courses none the less… Couldn’t fault anything relating to the accommodation at all. The guides Max and Arnold as well as Robust the mule were incredibly helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much, and their knowledge of the area and the environment was quite incredible. They made the whole experience unforgettable. Lunches out on the mountain were simple yet perfect. The summit of Gran Paradiso was something that took a lot of us out of our comfort zones. It was definitely the hardest day of walking that I have experienced. Very satisfying to reach the summit after 4.5hrs of walking. The views were amazing. We will definitely be back to walk more of these trails. Thanks again for your help in setting this up for our group.

We booked a 7 day trip with U-Tracks, with the ultimate goal of summiting Gran Paradiso. We were a group of 11 work colleagues who annually take on a charity event with this being the selected even this year. I must admit the trip was spectacular. the 6 day 'approach' to gran paradiso was varied in the way of physical challenge and then scenery. our guide - max was first class. he was able to assess the group and maintained a superb pace to keep us all moving. this was the first time we had taken on something as demanding as this (the final day in particular). The last day summit of gran paradiso was physically challenging but not technically (the very final summit section becomes technical but very well managed). the whole trip was fantastic from start to finish. I would 100% recommend and use again.

Well organised. Good lodgings and food throughout trip. Guide was brilliant.

Excellent trip - absolutely stunning views, and the tracks were mostly clear, it felt like we’re were the only ones there. The guide was excellent, very well organised and it was a very rewarding trip all round.

That was a fantastic, vibrant and unforgettable trip. Rushing rivers, sparkling waterfalls, snowy peaks and blue skies. The Gran Paradiso region is rich in forests, the slopes were strewn with blueberries and raspberries. There were both flat, easy areas, as well as steep piles of stones, so the difficulty level 4/5 - is very realistic. Nice authentic accommodation places, always great lunches and dinners. Just breakfast could be more rich. And we were lucky with our great guide Matthieu - always friendly, helpful, joking and sharing good mood with everyone.
