The majority of the walks were moderate, not too vigorous but able to keep the group together. When there was a more challenging walk, there was an alternative. The one walk that was difficult was walking down from Mont Blanc to Chamonix; it was a 3000 foot elevation decent over rocks and tree roots. It would be advisable to bring two walking poles. There was an alternative of taking the gondola down.

Has anyone been on this program who can comment on the speed/pace of the "walks".


Dan Diepenhorst Jun 03, 2012 at 10:35 AM

Can you please compare this trip to the one offered by other companies such as the "Walk Around Mt. Blanc" e.g. REI's 110 mile trek?


Margaret Smith Apr 17, 2012 at 09:08 AM

Are there any other singles going on this trip?
Road Scholar Apr 20, 2012 at 09:57 AM

I went on this trip last year. I've tried to delete the old posts, but can't seem to get them off.
