Ione, one of our Travel Advisers, recently walked the Northern part of the Tour du Mont Blanc, from Courmayeur to Chamonix. Here's what she had to say about her trip:

"I really enjoyed the TMB! While the trails are on the busier side, it was really nice to meet lots of lovely people from all over the world and get to know them while hiking. We stayed in a mix of huts, auberges and hotels and enjoyed the variety.

"My favourite day was probably our second, from Rifugio Bonatti to La Fouly. The weather was perfect and the views were just incredible! On our way down from Grand Col de Ferret we stopped at Alpage de la Peule for lunch and had some delicious ice cream.

"I also really enjoyed the section with the ladders. I know a lot of people are quite nervous for the ladders but I thought it was great fun so don't worry too much about it!"

If you're interested in walking the TMB with us, we're already taking bookings for 2027! Send us an email [email protected] ⛰

Have you heard of the Alta Via 2???

Criss-crossing the Dolomites, the Alta Via 2 is one of the most spectacular walks in the Alps. Come with us for a week of walking on our Alta Via 2: North trip from Brixen to Passo San Pellegrino, avoiding the via ferrata sections in the South to make a well-rounded, albeit challenging, 7-stage trip, sticking to hiking terrain throughout.

☀⛰Our photo of the week was taken by our client Lolly Merrell, on her recent Alta Via 9 trip. Here's what she had to say:

🏞🥾'The AV9 was an excellent mix of meandering hikes through alpine meadows, soaring classic Dolomite spires and cliffs faces, as well as intense climbs up steep high-mountain terrain. The rifugios were warm, in impossibly gorgeous locations with excellent food!'

At the end of July Skylar, one of our travel advisors, walked the Via Alpina: Bernese Oberland. Here's what she has to say!

"The Via Alpina was absolutely fantastic. The scenery grew more and more spectacular every day, the walking was challenging but engaging, and the trails were free of crowds. It was an incredible trip, and I would highly recommend it!"
