    I'd recommend this trip to anyone. We were lucky to have an 5 guide and exceptionally 4 weather. The mountain views were breathtaking. A big bonus was having a pass to use on local buses and trains included in the price of the holiday.

    Lovely week in outstanding mountain scenery with good range of walks interspersed with some good food and wine. Les Houches is ok a base (bit quiet) but think I would have preferred a more central base in Chamonix. Hotel was fine - a bit basic but no issues.

    The trip was almost exactly as described, and I thought the Chamonix Valley was an excellent base. The hotel in Les Houches was well placed for the local transport.

    Asked on February 27th, 2025

    My family is interested to do the hiking tour at Mont Blanc. There are about 8-10 pax in our group of which majority are beginners. Could you kindly share any details of a suitable tour for us? Some things that we'd like to request include: Chalet/Rest areas included in the tour, Halal/vegetarian food options, Luggage delivery from 1 accommodation to another so we don't have to carry our items, would you happen to have a tour/package for a 4 day 3 night hike? Is it ok to do self-guided or do you recommend a guide?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten February 2025

      We do not offer any customized tours nor do we offer any self-guided tours. All of our tours are guided group tours. This is a center based tour where we stay at the same hotel each night. Therefore you do not need to carry on luggage on your walks. You only need to carry your daypack with your water, extra layers, etc. This Mont Blanc trek traverses well-maintained mountain paths. Walks on 5 days averaging around 5 to 6 hours. Hiking boots or shoes are essential. Walking poles are highly recommended. We have graded this trip as Moderate. For August, the departure we have is August 9th - 16th 2025. We do only have 5 spaces available on this tour. We do still have 9 spaces available on our July 26th - August 2nd 2025 departure.
