We had a fantastic time staying in Samoens... The walking was amazing at this time of year: alpine meadows, wildflowers, waterfalls, and glacial landscapes, and not too challenging: we ranged between 500m and 970m ascent in a day. We went rafting on the Giffre on our day off, which was also great.

Memorable parts?
Definitely reaching Lenana Point, the summit for our trip
Tips?
Go now. It's a really good trip. We had a nice group of very different personalities but we worked really well together.
Local benefits?
I believe our trip benefitted the support staff in terms of employment, I think we were very diligent and many times saw our staff picking up litter around the route.
Overall rating?
Excellent. A great comparator trip to Kilimanjaro, less popular,... (more)Helen Bird

Memorable parts?
Despite having a mobility problem, I managed 3 out of 4 walks. They were amazing and Rudy was invaluable to give me the confidence to carry on even on some quite hard terrain. The hotel turned out to be experts in gluten free cooking and so the other perfect half was the ability to eat enough food to fuel the walking. Also the food was delicious. And the staff were lovely.

The most memorable part of the vacation was everyone waving me off as I left before the rest of the group. We all got on well and shared many enjoyable moments. The stunning scenery around Trins was absolutely breathtaking, and climbing up to the mountain huts for elderflower water and delicious soup was a truly memorable experience! We all had such a good laugh and really enjoyed each others company, particularly during the evening meals where we shared many a
banter and... (more)Lucie Freeborn
From
US $1,235

Memorable parts?
Walking in the desert and the wide open space and peace and quiet. Somehow the actual rhythm of the walking was almost mesmeric and I felt I could walk for hours
Tips?
Big hat, suntan lotion, water 'platypus' to go in your day pack, good camera and a willingness to get on with anything that was put in front of you.
Local benefits?
Not sure - although local people involved in 'jeeping' our stuff around. We certainly left desert as deserted as when we arrived.... (more)Jill Marquis
From
US $1,345

Memorable parts?
The views of Mt Blanc were amazing, especially when taking the Cable Car to the very top of the Glaciers.
For my wife, this was her first experience of a 'Chalet' vacation and she found the food and atmosphere wonderful.
Tips?
The terrain for the walks is very very rough (rocks). You really must have proper mountain walking boots. My high class 'Hokka' trail running shoes were
completely 'finished' after the week.
Local benefits?
Hard to answer.

Very good!....It was lovely to be looked after by the family at Braccicorti who housed and fed us wonderfully. Sara our guide took us to shops in the local area who sold local produce as well and we could buy some things like home grown

This has to be the best walking vacation I've ever had. The walking was incredible. The landscapes were all different and all stunningly beautiful. I will never forget walking in Ordesa, Añisclo and the Sierra de Guara. (more)Meg Whelan

Walking the trail was very hard in places, but so well organised that it was a great sense of achievement to complete each day and the trail itself. When we got to the Sun Gate above Machu Picchu we arrived in a lot of low cloud which took the edge off it, however we walked on a bit further and got a great high level view of the lost city so we were more than happy with this.
