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'll be following your route and calling the refuges each night to make sure you have arrived safely and we also shuttle your baggage between refuges so you only have to carry your day sack (it's not cheating - honest!)

classic route is five days long, so includes 6 nights accommodation. If you are planning 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.
