Switzerland Adventure Tour 2024 - (£1505.87)

***** Unfortunately flights have gone through the roof so I have had to adjust the price of the trip accordingly. If you want to book your own transport to Geneva I will reduce the cost by £464.88 (cost of the flights) *****

This year for our luxury trip I have organised a large Swiss chalet not too far from Martigny (inside Switzerland but close to the French border).

We will be staying close to the village of Champéry. This is a small town in the district of Monthey in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

We will be walking in France and Switzerland with walks of 8-10 miles per day with ascents of up to 1500 metres per day. I will offer a choice of walks for 6 days with an optional additional activity on the middle Wednesday.

We aim to ascend some of the dents du midi.

(Dents du Midi : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost)

You must be fit with experience of walking in high alpine conditions to join this trip. The ability to mix comfortably with a large group is a distinct advantage.

Unfortunately due to group policy, children are not allowed to join.

Couples are welcome.

You are personally responsible for insuring yourself against injury or curtailment due to accident or illness. This should include repatriation in the event of an incident and hiking up to 3000 metres above sea level.

The trip includes flights from Manchester to Geneva and transport whilst in Switzerland / France / Italy in the minibus.

The price does not include food, trains, cable cars or any other paid activities with 3rd party providers.

Flights will be direct from Manchester to Geneva return

The beautiful alpine chalet totally renovated with a lot of character located at an altitude of 1420 meters facing the impressive Dents du Midi.

This chalet also has a sauna.

Chalet typical of the Valle d 'Illiez recently renovated keeping all its original charm.

It is very spacious and can accommodate up to 18 people. Where possible I will allocate people so that they share with a maximum of only 1 other person.

In the middle of nature, the setting in which this chalet is located is simply extraordinary. The chalet also has wifi.

The bedroom configuration is as follows:

Bedroom 1 : 1 x Double Bed - Stephen
Bedroom 2 : 1 x Double Bed - Angela
Bedroom 3 : 1 x Double Bed - Ann
Bedroom 4 : 1 x Double Bed
Bedroom 5 : 2 x Single Beds
Bedroom 6 : 2 x Single Beds - Nick
Bedroom 7 : 3 x Single Beds - Jane K
Bedroom 8 : 3 x Single Beds - Jim

I will allocate bedrooms based on the best fit although all rooms are large and airy and whilst the chalet can host 18 people, I have calculated the costs based on 14 people sharing. Where possible I will allocate people to private rooms.

Due to some people staying on from the previous week in the Basque region, costs will vary based on individual travel plans. Individual bills will be supplied once flights are booked.

To book a place, I will need a non-refundable deposit of £650 in additional to specific advanced passenger information (passport number, expiry date and date of birth) to book flights.

Payment of the balance is due 3 months before departure but I am happy to be flexible on this as long as payment is received in full before departure.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for your interest.
