Latest news May 2010
Please contact us now for summer 2010. We're delighted to be offering 3 scheduled guided trips for 2010, starting on 3 July, 24 July and 4 September. Join us!

The Chamonix valley makes a superb base for a walking holiday. The backdrop of Mont Blanc, at 4,808m the highest peak in Western Europe, is present throughout. Some of the most famous views reachable by Alpine walking are sited above the valley.

Each day, set off in your group on a walk led by your International Mountain Leader. Climb to a viewpoint over the Mer de Glace or Glacier d'Argentiere, walk part of the Grand Balcon Sud with views across the valley to the Mont Blanc peaks, or climb a summit such as Le Brevent, Aiguillette des Posettes or Le Prarion for panoramic views of the mountains.

Our itinerary is planned to show you various aspects of life and walking in the Chamonix area. We move between hotels and walk up for a night in a hut. If you come on a private trip, we can plan your itinerary to match your time and your preferences, for example by adding more hut nights or basing the trip entirely in one valley base.

We stay in good hotels with a warm welcome; if the weather is kind we'll enjoy high views of Mont Blanc from the hut.
