Wow! It’s all we can say. A phenomenal and unforgettable trip of a lifetime. We were a group of 10, with different ability levels, but everyone gave rave reviews. The various areas are all so different in terms of terrain, snow condition and atmosphere, even though they are located a very short distance from Chamonix.
