Self Guided Holiday

Any time between 31 May and 31 October

Price: From £399 per person click here for price breakdown.

For the self guided option we will make all your reservations for you (full board accommodation with picnic lunches) and give you all the walking maps and route cards you need. We also shuttle your baggage between refuges so you only have to carry your day sack (it's not cheating - honest!)

You can either self drive to the start or we can organise transfers for you from Grenoble, Chambery or Marseille airports.

So all you have to do is book your flights and walk!

Have a look at the map to see the route.

The classic route is five days long, so includes 6 nights accommodation. If you are plannng a week's holiday, and would like to include a rest day or take in one of the many variations, that's no problem, please just let us know when you make your enquiry and we will revise the price for you accordingly.
