Reality Check
Grade: B/C 10 days walking Although some of the days are quite long, often involving an ascent of 900 - 1000m followed by a similar descent, the paths are well maintained and there is very little rough terrain underfoot.
This trek is graded as a B/C as several of the walking days (especially the last two) are greater than walking up and down Scafell Pike or Ben Nevis.
This trek is based on the 'supported camping' concept, with a vehicle doing all the hard work of transporting luggage, equipment and supplies.
Whilst camping you are expected to erect and dismantle your own tent (these are modern pop up style tents that are very easy and quick to erect and dismantle) and the whole group generally helps to load the support vehicle on the days when we move camp. On half of the nights we eat in camp, you should expect to help with the washing up.
Normal group size and age
Normally 1 to 16, plus leader. Minimum age 16.
Misc
Mont Blanc Hotel Trek (Trip Code: TWO)
For those who prefer the comfort of a bed we offer another version of this trip staying in hotels. The itinerary is essentially the same as the camping version, however the nights will be spent in a mixture of hotels/pensions and village inns.
Many of the places are 2 or 3 star - some do not have a star rating but offer a warm and friendly welcome and good access to and from the trails each day. For further information please refer to the TWO trip notes which can be downloaded from our website.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
In order to provide a more accurate grading system, where a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or split grade, for example Moderate/Challenging. Occasionally, there are optional activities available en route, in this case the optional grade is indicated in brackets, for example Grade Challenging (climb Tough+). Clearly, conditions may differ from region-to-region or month-to-month and as such the information given on these pages is designed to act as a guide only. In all cases you should refer to the respective holiday's Trip Notes for further details.
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
