Haute-Savoie in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Solid operator.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Haute-Savoie in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Worth every rupee.
