    Our self guided tour varied from Grand Angle’s standard tour due to several nights where accommodation was in alternate towns. As a result, the standard itinerary of distance, elevation gain and loss did not apply to our actual route. For example, the night in Borg St Maurice. Still not sure why the Courmayeur to Val Ferret stage was omitted….unavailability of accommodation? Stunning scenery. Decent accommodation given the overnight stops. No problem with luggage delivery. A memorable hike.

    Overall, the arranged accommodation locations are good. Some hotels are over our expectation but some are below e. g. The third night hotel in the town was the worst one, and no taxi transportation was arranged/covered by this tour.
