I have been now on this same trip twice and looking at number 3 in the future. The accommodations and the guides are top notch. Words can not describe the majesty of this incredible mountain and surrounding landscapes. CME is in various areas of the trek. One day we were sitting in a field with the mountains in the background. Really?! I can’t say enough about this trip except- DO IT!!!!! This is a 5 star review
This trip was incredible. Our guides, Sebastian and Laurent were the absolute best guides and made this a memorable trip I would love to repeat. The scenery was breathtaking and great hands-on CME. I cannot recommend this trip enough.

This was a wonderful trip. The scenery is strikingly beautiful but what enhanced the experience was the excellent CME – interesting, informative & thoughtfully dome. Also the lovely accommodation & food and outstanding guides – Sébastien & Sébastien and the organizer extraordinaire Mike. I highly recommend this trip.
I thought that the trip was excellent.I especially commend our chief guide Laurent, who was remarkably well-informed, humorous, and easily understood. He is a real scholar about so many aspects of the geography, history, flora, etc. of the region. Also, Sebastian did a great job in finding food for our lunches and in transporting our baggage to the next destination. MT Blanc 2018
