VOYAGES
The Bernese Oberland
Comfort - 6 days
See the details of this trek
Nothing can compare to the splendour of these gigantic rock faces towering above the green alpine meadows.
The Bernese Oberland is separated from the Valaisannes Alps by the Rhone valley. Entirely situated in Switzerland, between
Aar in the north and the Rhone to the south, this impressive mountain range counts no less than nine summits of over 4000
meters. We also find the Aletsch glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps, and the most difficult rock face: the Eigerwand or
the north face of the Eiger or the Ogre. This well-named summit has become the pride of all who live in the region.

The Alpine Tour du Mont-Blanc
Classic - 7 days
See the details of this trek
TMB (Tour du Mont Blanc) is undoubtedly one of the most famous treks in the Alps, and at the very top of a hiker’s list of
things to-do. We invite you to discover a new way to complete the TMB: a customised version on more strenuous, longer and
seldom crowded trail, including original, off the beaten tracks and sometimes very unique segments, a significantly different
version of the classic TMB route.
In this program we wish to share a slice of our long life-experience in hiking the secret corners of our range.
It was designed for expert hikers with a good experience in hiking on rocky and uneven terrain. We offer a program that aims
at satisfying a hiker’s curiosity and desire to discover the wildest areas of the Mont Blanc range.

Trek Details
Level : The Alpine TMB is strenuous as it follows rocky mountain trails, including many off-trail sections on uneven and
sometimes unmarked terrain. We hike 7 to 8 hours daily, with an average of 3 300ft vertical gain every day. Hikers carry a
back pack of 17 to 22 pounds during the day. Mountain passes or peaks along the way are between 8 500ft and 9 100ft. This
hiking trip requires a strong multi-day hiking experience on mountain trails. Great physical condition is therefore
necessary.
Guiding : Minimum 6 and maximum 12 people per guide.
Accommodation : 6 nights in basic hotels or mountain hut (in dormitory).
2014 Dates : From Sunday to Saturday. August 17th
2014 Price : 720€/person (minimum 6 people)
