France Active outdoor Trips

A fabulous week exploring the Chamonix valleys, mountains and settlements, further enhanced by blue skies, sunshine and the occasional dramatic electric storms rolling in over Mont Blanc! An amazing location. Great choice of daily routes of similar lengths over rocky mountain terrain, following refreshing riverside trails and through much- welcomed shady woodland. The group was a fantastic friendly company of walkers with considerable hiking experience, very friendly, full of personalities and with a great sense of humour. Our hotel room overlooked the Mont Blanc range which was an amazing surprise, staff were friendly and very helpful. Our Leader / Guide Kris was excellent - confident, knowlegeable and experienced, with a genuine affection for the local environment, and with a very approachable and relaxed manner. He had sorted train and bus passes for the duration of the week, which meant that there were no logistical nightmares when travelling around, and organised bookings at a local restaraunt for evenings when the group wasn't eating at the hotel. Many Thanks for everything Kris :). A thoroughly enjoyable week not just for the physical rewards of excercise, but also for the lively company and opportunity to learn about local history, culture and the natural environment. Highly Recommended

Our guide Kris made the holiday very enjoyable. He was friendly., relaxed, knowledgeable and capable. I felt very safe and confident under his guidance. He taught me how to use walking poles going downhill which helped me greatly.

An absolutely amazing experience! The tour was incredibly well-organized from start to finish. We stayed at a beautiful chalet with breathtaking, insane views of Mont Blanc. Our guide, Adrian, was fantastic. He was always there to help with any question or situation, and his explanations of the routes we hiked were super clear and helpful. He was always available, incredibly patient, and brought such a fun energy to the group with his great sense of humor. Also thanks to Julieta and Odran, the two chalet hosts. They took amazing care of us, cooked delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and were incredibly nice and welcoming throughout the whole trip. As a small note regarding dinner, the meals were plated individually as a starter, main, and dessert. While it was lovely, I would have personally preferred a style where food is placed on the table so everyone can choose their own portions. To sum up, it was an amazing adventure.

Well organised tour with an excellent guide. Hotels ranged from ok to excellent but all in good locations. Visits to the Salvador Dali museum and the greek/roman archeological site en route were highlights.

Just returned from walking the highlights of Mount Blanc! There was a variety of hikes and all had great views. Our guide and chalet hosts were very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome!

Had the best time on this tour exploring some very cool places! Such an awesome group of people I was on tour with. Brando our tour leader was brilliant with all aspects of tour organisation and a wealth of history knowledge. Victor our driver was lovely, and fantastic at getting around some very tricky roads. Didn't want it to end! Highly recommend.
