    What an unforgettable experience! I won’t lie—it was physically challenging, but the reward was more than worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Agustine, was incredibly kind and patient (especially when I fell behind the group a few times). He was always calm and encouraging, truly embodying a “Buddha state of mind.” Nothing seemed to faze him—such an amazing person! My friend and I stayed at The Bediere Chalet, and all I can say is—wow. The location was stunning, and the chalet itself felt like a dream home for the week, with the most spectacular views. Our hosts, Sandro and Violetta, were just fantastic—so full of life, warmth, and humor. Their delicious cooking and cheerful, cheeky spirits made every day even more special. If you asked me right now, “Would you do this tour again?” — my answer would be a resounding yes. I walked away with such clarity of mind, a refreshed perspective on my priorities, and truly some of the best memories. If you're someone like me—often buried in work and in need of a change of pace—this experience is exactly what you need

    Our guide, Tim, was absolutely terrific. I can’t think of a thing he could have done better. It was nice to stay in the same chalet every night. The staff there was also top-notch. The experience of hiking in the Alps was one of all, wonder and amazement. I will never forget my experience. On the plus side, the others in my group were also, all fun and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend this Exodus tour.

    Good option if your time is limited to tackle the full blow TMB. But don’t underestimate the physical demands from this condensed version of TMB. Two people in our group dropped out in day one because they just can’t do it. Another guest has vertigo problems and also dropped out.

    I thought the local Exodus crew that took care of us was fantastic and went out of their way to help with anything. The guide as great too and very knowledgeable. The agenda was carefully planned out and absolutely beautiful. My only comment was the communication with Exodus before the trip was delayed by up to a week pretty consistently.

      is the 4-11th october a guaranteed departure? if i book now can i change dates? i can organise private transport but just checking if 1.15pm arrival would be too late?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten April 2025

      04-11 Oct is a guaranteed departure. If you wish to change travel arrangements after Booking Confirmation, we will do our utmost to help, but it may not always be possible.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Should we plan to arrive on May 16th or May 17th? Also, do you offer a shuttle service from Geneva, or will we need to arrange our own transportation?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten March 2025

      Day 1 of the tour is 17th May and the group airport transfer is set to depart for flights arriving up to 1130am at Geneva (GVA) airport. If you would like to arrive a day early, you may do so and we can book an extra night, however you would need to cover the cost of the transfer since there will be no group transfer.
