- RMRoberto· July 26th, 2023Great experience! Really good assistance before our trip and we didn't need any assistance during the trip, as everything went as planned. I recommend!Show moreTrip date: July 2023
- Jake· September 29th, 2022Despite not having the best weather, the trip went great. The accommodations and meals were all a delight and much better than we were expecting. I really enjoyed this trip, it was a lot of fun hiking through the 3 countries. Sights, sounds, smells, natural beauty, people, places....all spectacular. So many of the days were filled with stunning landscapes. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and at the end of the 8 day walk, I was ready to go round again. Thank you for such a well organized trip and I can't wait until my next Inn Walking.Show moreTrip date: August 2022
- Ramona· September 16th, 2022Just stunning! Lifetime experience, which we will remember forever.Show moreTrip date: August 2022
- Nick· August 23rd, 2022Our group has just completed the shorter circuit around the Mont Blanc. The scenery is just stunning. The trails are not as difficult as expected and hiking the trail in clockwise direction turned out to be a big, big advantage! The latter was one of our main requirements and we are glad we found the right program for us. We booked the tour 7 months ahead of time and were successful in getting private rooms throughout. We met a few other people who booked only a month or two in advance and they barely managed to find a place in dorms. The trail is really busy. We only had minor issues with luggage transfers, which were easily sorted when we called the local supplier. Overall a great experience and highly recommended company to use for it!Show moreTrip date: July 2022
- JOJessica· August 21st, 2022The hike itself was amazing. This is a review of the logistics: 1) Luggage transfer: 4/5. Our luggage was dropped off at the wrong hotel for the first transfer. Altitude Mont Blanc was very responsive and tried to help us locate our luggage, but it took a while. They finally located it at the hotel next door. 2) Self-guided roadbook, itinerary, and maps: 3/5. Shuttle instructions were incorrect for one of our days. Also, the name of the location for dinner in Courmayeur was incorrect and we ended up having to pay for our own meal. Directions need to be updated. 3) Quality of comfort rooms: 3/5. Most rooms were clean, comfortable and all had hot showers. The best hotel was the hotel du lac in Les Champex. We also like the hotel du soleil in Les Contamines. The hotel in Les Chapieux had minimal amenities, we only had one towel and they didn’t have enough to provide another towel for the second person in the room, floors were sticky, and decor was older. 4) Quality of meals: 3/5. Overall breakfasts were very good. We appreciated the coffee/espresso/cappuccino/hot chocolate machines, variety of cheese meats and breads, and local yogurt and jam. Dinners were decent, except in Courmayeur abd Les Chapieux. In Courmayeur the itinerary had the wrong location for dinner so we had to pay for ourselves. In Les Chapieux, the hotel restaurant looked decent, but the meal they served us was a flavorless chicken curry over pasta, which included 4 or 5 small chunks of chicken, curry sauce (no vegetables), and a large serving of plain spaghetti. 5) Drivers: 5/5. The drivers were very helpful and considerate. One of our group members wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t hike on one of the segments. The drivers tried to help us with transportation, but unfortunately no other drivers were available. We ended up having to get a private taxi which cost €400.Show moreTrip date: August 2022
- Sandra· May 20th, 2021We were really lucky to be able to join this tour despite the on-going situation across Europe. The trails were calm and not at all crowded. The views were superb! We only had one day of rainfall. All in all great experience!Show moreTrip date: September 2020
- Cary· May 10th, 2021Excellent! A great tour in stunning mountain ranges! The accommodations were far better than expected. Having read a lot about the huts in the Alps we decided to go for private rooms throughout to allow ourselves enough privacy to relax at the end of each day's hike.Show moreTrip date: September 2020
- Kaur· April 13th, 2021An exceptional tour and a great option to get a real taste of the Alps. Excellent organization and pre-tour communications.Show moreTrip date: August 2019
- Soren· April 2nd, 2021If you wish to get a taste of the Alps - this is the right tour for you! Impeccable organization by the local hosts and swift pre-tour communication with Traventuria. We searched a lot before finding this trek as most tour companies offered accommodation in dorms, which we didn't like. Having a private room at the end of a tiring day adds a lot to the overall experience and we were able to meet the challenges of each following day fully refreshed.Show moreTrip date: July 2019
