—  A wide variety of hikes with numerous “high-mountain” panoramic views: glaciers, peaks. A rest day in Courmayeur (Day 4) allows you to take the Skyway up to Pointe Helbronner to admire the most beautiful view of the week: Mont Blanc, Aiguille du Midi, Vallée Blanche, the glacier and Aiguille du Géant, Grandes Jorasses… The package we chose—“all-inclusive” with hotel stays—was highly appreciated, and the “Bouton d’Or” hotel in Courmayeur earned a 5-star rating. The weather was perfect, except for the first day when a hailstorm caught us at the Col du Tricot with some unsettling flashes of lightning; the sun quickly returned. In short, a magnificent trip that poses no difficulties for those who hike regularly.

—  An unforgettable trip with breathtaking scenery—both literally and figuratively. We were a group of four; hiking together for 10 days was a rewarding experience, with challenging moments, but we felt proud after accomplishing each day’s goal. From our starting point in Les Houches, through the Col du Tricot, the Col du Bonhomme, and the Col de la Seigne, the panoramic view from the Elisabetta refuge, the Swiss valleys, Lake Champex, the summit of the Fenêtre d’Arpette, the Col de Forclaz, Lac Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, and the Mer de Glace during our stop in Chamonix... All these places are no longer just experiences we’ve seen in videos made by other hikers. In terms of organization, a big thank you to Grand Angle. Everything went smoothly without a hitch (hotel reservations, luggage transfers). The welcome at the accommodations was wonderful, and the level of comfort was excellent at most of them as well. In conclusion, this is a trip and experience you shouldn’t miss if you love mountain hiking and have the opportunity. A minimum level of physical fitness is required. For us, it was more challenging than expected compared to what you see in online videos, but we have no regrets. It’s truly worth it.

—  A guide who knows the subject inside and out and is a good listener. Excellent group management, with alternative routes planned whether there are any hiccups or not—that’s really appreciated.
