Admire spectacular views of Mont Blanc from the iconic surrounding trails
Throughout our mountain adventure, we stay in a collection of family-run hotels and auberges, all of which have spent years caring and catering for weary hikers. For the uninitiated, an auberge is equivalent to an inn: modest accommodation (often in a rural setting) that provides a warm, welcoming place to stop for travellers and hikers.
Most of the properties in which we stay offer panoramic views over the Alps, while culturally reflecting the local community. Though most are relatively basic, all are clean, well run and set up with the needs of the trekker in mind, while acting as a vital source of income to the local people.
Worth knowing
Room sizes are - twin, double, triple or quad. Facilities vary between accommodations and sometimes between rooms within a property.
On three nights, bathroom facilities may be on the landing rather than inside the room (dependent on availability and group size).
Couples always have their own room but we cannot guarantee whether this will be a twin or double.
Solo travellers maybe required to share twin, triple or quad rooms.
We can’t accept bookings for single rooms due to the small size of the hotels used and the fact we are usually staying only one night in each property.
Due to limited availability, occasionally we may need to change a hotel to one further down the valley, and will provide a bus or taxi transfer.
