    This was the first time we benefitted from our Tour Leader providing a picnic lunch. These were always very acceptable.

    I'd recommend this trip to anyone. We were lucky to have an 5 guide and exceptionally 4 weather. The mountain views were breathtaking. A big bonus was having a pass to use on local buses and trains included in the price of the holiday.

    If you have the weather we did you can't fail to enjoy this tour as long as you are prepared for some moderate ascents and descents.

    Lovely week in outstanding mountain scenery with good range of walks interspersed with some good food and wine. Les Houches is ok a base (bit quiet) but think I would have preferred a more central base in Chamonix. Hotel was fine - a bit basic but no issues.

    The trip was almost exactly as described, and I thought the Chamonix Valley was an excellent base. The hotel in Les Houches was well placed for the local transport.
