Valais in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. No hesitation recommending them.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Recommended.

Valais in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Recommended.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would book with them again.
