Tour Reviews
We had a wonderful trip. The hike was beautiful and varied. Both in terms of physicality and nature. We think it was fantastic to experience the green lower alpine landscape and to reach the height above the tree line with snow, barren rocks and marmots. As a regular family in good shape (not athletes as such), the level of physicality was appropriate. In relation to temperature / climate, it was a great advantage (for us Scandinavians) that the trip took place at altitude.
Sincerely, Rolf and Vibeke
Hi Benjamin!
Normally you are asked to evaluate everything, which I find very tiring – but just in terms of our hike, which I have not been asked to evaluate, I really want to give you feedback on it!
We were in Lys Valley for 7 days and it was just a great trip! The concept worked so well with overview cards, small daily cards and the little signs that we came to love as well as the app!
The difficulty level of the trip and the daily trip lengths suited us perfectly and it was great that there were several varieties of day trips, but we still had the beautiful views!
We enjoyed our luxurious nights and that we also got to experience the atmosphere at refuge Barma! We managed to finish with a trip with a view of the Monterosa glacier – and discovered that we had been there on a skiing holiday from Champoluc!
So thank you for a fantastic trip, also to Stefano!
The best greetings
Jytte and Jens
