Walking

We are passionate walkers ourselves and can offer some of the most spectacular and exciting walks imaginable. The Portes du Soleil and mountain ranges beyond offers infinite possibilities. These range from easy walks from your accommodation, medium walks to the Swiss border, and high glacier treks around Mont Blanc. Many of the lifts in the Portes du Soleil operate during the summer months to give you easy access into the mountains. We can guide medium-level walks ourselves and provide qualified local guides for high-level treks. We have an extensive collection of routes and maps and can help and advise you both pre-holiday and in resort. See our tailor-made alpine walking holidays for further information.
