Among the highest mountains and longest glaciers of the Alps

9 unforgettable days among the highest mountains and longest glaciers of the Alp.

We will visit legendary Chamonix valley, the centre and mecca of Alpinist, home of Mont Blanc and razor sharp jugged peaks that are up close and cascading  to the horizon. After Chamonix we will move to another symbol of the alps – Zermatt with its most photographed mountain in the world – the magnificent Matterhorn. We will numerously contribute to its statistics by taking lots of photos. Despite of huge popularity, there are always possibilities for new angles and compositions. The epic trip will conclude a night at longest glacier of the Alps – the Aletsch glacier.

It will be a mix of comfort and adventure. Night accommodation is a mix of hotels and mountain huts with dormitory rooms. Sleeping in the tents while staying in the mountains is optional and encouraged, but not an obligation.

Important Notes:

Please, note: I’m experienced mountain hiker, and prepared for emergencies, but I am not a hiking/mountain guide, and you go on your own risk. You will be required to sign the accident waiver paper. It is easy-to-medium hiking difficulty, but mountains always bring the risk. Please, evaluate yourself if you are able to handle the trip. Any booking is confirmed only after short video chat.
