Tour due Mont Blanc - Camping

This trip lived up to and exceeded my expectations. The TMB is a fantastic walk but would not have been such a wonderful experience had I not found myself part of a great group with a superb leader and back-up. The organization was excellent, we were blessed with good weather for 9/10 walking days and the views were spectacular. I was very happy I chose the camping option – the best food of the trip was definitely in the mess tent and most of the campsites were beautifully located.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Le Brevent 2,525m and knowing that we had all completed the TMB with no injuries or mishaps. The champagne carried by up by Heather was a bonus!

Thoughts on Group Leader

In my opinion Heather is an inspirational leader, extremely fit and knowledgeable she handled our diverse group well and ensured the trip was a success for all. Mention must also be made of Neil - our back up - who seemed to be able to achieve miracles within the confines of a camp kitchen.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for challenges - 1,120m vertical ascent on the 2nd day of walking was hard, especially the heat. Oh and if you can: take crash course in packing away a Quechua tent - they may be easy to erect but dismantling definitely isn't easy. Best approach is brute force - like a rugby tackle .

TOUR MT BLANC

This trek my first to the Alps met and exceeded my expectations.

Most Inspirational Moment

Traversing the Cols between different countries on the trek - Plus the transportation on the cable cars both within the package and as an optional trip on 'rest days'.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lotte was superb. Very pleasant and supportive to all group members. Managed the timings seamlessly and made adjustments to the route to suit the group and make it even more enjoyable. Ably supported by Charlie.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Consider a single tent and dont expect to loose weight even allowing for the long days walking - In my opinion there is no need to take/consume extra 'energy' snacks etc

Tour du Mont Blanc - Campiing Trek

Good weather, friendly crowd, Lotte good leader, experience & nice person.

Most Inspirational Moment

Mont Blanc superb !

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lotte wonderfully person and experience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go for it !

Great scenery, great trek

A fantastic trek through magnificent mountains. Good campsites and great organisation from the support leader made the accommodation arrangements very comfortable for a camping trek.

Most Inspirational Moment

Crossing the two major cols into and out of Italy, whilst enjoying splendid views of Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses.. Reaching le Brevent in searing heat to complete the tour. The bottle of fizz carried up the mountain by the guide was an unexpected bonus!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Charming and enthusiastic - kept us to timetable and on course, despite a few obstacles to progress. Very impressive mountain skills.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get fit - it's a demanding trek and we enjoyed it all the more because we'd worked hard to prepare ourselves. Age is no barrier as long as you can climb the equivalent of Scafell on several days in succession.

Mont Blanc circuit

Fantastic tour of Mont Blanc, seeing some fantastic sights with some very nice walks with good people and some very good food.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking between a lot of the cols was amazing seeing new valleys and at times different countries.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jo was fantastic always cheerful and fun, making sure everyone was comfortable with the pace and no one was left behind. Good fun to talk to as well. Also a mention for Tom who ran the camp who was always cheerful, fun and a brilliant cook as well.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure your fit enough I found the trip pretty easy for the walks and such but I had good weather the entire time really. Also the pizza in Italy is something else and so is the ice cream.

Tour of Mont Blanc

A brilliant trip! Very well led, our food was excellent, amazing what can be produced under canvas in the wet with 4 gas burners! Certainly something to look forward to each day.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the Mont Blanc vista from different angles, often appearing out of the cloud.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good, knowledgeable about the route and especially which huts had the best cake! Gave advice too about weather conditions, clothing, food & all of that.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Wear waterproof trousers when taking down the tent in the morning! Saves you getting soaking wet before you start your day.

Fantastic!!

This was an amazing trip. We were blessed with good weather on all our walking days and had the most stunning views on almost every day.

Most Inspirational Moment

The final day - a tough climb up Le Brevant, but every step was rewarded by magnificent and ever changing views of Mont Blanc.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jo was superb. She looked after the group really well, let us go at our own quicker pace when it was safe to do so, and always discussed route options with us when there was choice. It was a real pleasure to walk with her.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Read the trip notes carefully - they describe everything really well. Remember to bring a towel (the kit list doesn't mention this). Some of the camp-sites can be noisy - ear plugs and eye shade are useful.

Mont Blanc Circuit

This holiday was a first for me in many respects – first group holiday, first trekking holiday and first time camping for more than a night or two. And I can honestly say I would do all of the above again. It was definitely a challenge but an achievable one for anyone with a decent level of fitness combined with a little determination! There is a great sense of achievement from having completed the circuit.

Most Inspirational Moment

The sense of achievement from reaching summits was great together with a fantastic group camaraderie when the weather was not so good.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was friendly and helpful. He was very experienced and knew how to judge the overall level of the group without excluding members at either end of the fitness range. His does need to work on his word game skills - we're still waiting on a dessert beginning with Y !

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring wet gear and a warm sleeping bag even in the summer months. A head torch is a must (in life in general!). I was a little anxious about camping but it was great! We definitely had a lot more fun than the hotel group doing the same trip. It may not be glamorous but if you're willing to forget about straightening your hair for a couple of weeks, it's the way to go!

Mont Blanc Circuit

A very enjoyable holiday, with great walking, scenery, food and company. Graham’s cooking was exceptional, particularly his ability to cook meat and vegetable options, and rustle things up from seemingly nothing! However, this holiday isn’t for the faint-hearted – the walking is indeed challenging at times, the days are long, and you have to be prepared to contribute to camp tasks (washing up, taking your own tent down etc)

Most Inspirational Moment

There are too many to name just one but if I have to it's completing the final climb to be rewarded with amazing clear views of Mont Blanc.

Thoughts on Group Leader

John was a helpful and informative leader with a good knowledge of the mountains and local area. He also knows a lot about trees, but not so much about caterpillars! He had a very good sense of humour and amused us trying to analyse Graham's jokes.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The walking days are long so it is vital that you are fit and a relatively experienced walker. You also need to be able to cope with a variety of terrain - from grassy tracks to rocky and steep ascents/descents, ladder sections, and basic scrambling. However, if you are happy with this you'll have a great time!

Mont Blanc Circuit

An absolutely brilliant trip from start to finish. Fabulous scenery, a brilliant group of trekkers and great fun, despite some mixed weather and spectacular storms.

Most Inspirational Moment

It's hard to pinpoint one moment but I really enjoyed the extra 'optional' challenges that were set by our guide John. Huffing and puffing my way up the extremely steep 560m of the Col du Tricot faster than my target time felt like a massive achievement, as did completing the circuit after ten long days of hiking. It's a long way. 100% worth it but we definitely deserved a celebratory drink or two at the end.

Thoughts on Group Leader

John was an excellent leader. Very approachable and patient, with a good sense of humour and a truly wonderful singing voice?! Graham was equally excellent back in camp, always welcoming us when we came back to camp after our walks and providing delicious food (plenty of it) and a very welcome bar. I should also mention his 'jokes' and spooky ghost stories...

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do take an umbrella! It might sound crazy for the mountains, but you'll need it. Warm clothes are a must for evenings in camp. Also, if you're not sure about doing this trip due to worries about camping...don't worry! I had never camped for this long before but learnt to enjoy it!
