On Foot Holidays - Chamonix Traveller Reviews

This holiday comprised a stay of 7 nights at 2 different lodgings in the Chamonix Valley. The operator of the trip, On Foot Holidays, set up all the lodging and the transportation for our luggage between sites. In addition, they provided a variety of extremely well documented self guided hiking itineraries for each location and helpful information for transportation before and after the trip.

The operator is On Foot Holidays, located in the UK. From the first communication with them via emails regarding inquiries about the trip to the final communications with trip reservations, they provided outstanding instant service. There was also follow up during the trip and a meeting our first night with their hiking expert in Chamonix. All arrangements were spot on and any concerns we had were answered immediately. The accommodations as well as hiking instructions were top notch. There is nothing I would have changed!

Everything about our holiday was first rate. The accommodations were outstanding, the variety of hikes were ideal and the communication from the operator was also outstanding.

On Foot Holidays were always quick to respond to my many inquiries and the hikes were tailored to exactly what I was looking for.

We spent 6 days walking in the French Alps

On foot holidays gave us excellent service much more than we expected.

A self guided walking holiday from St Gervais to Chamonix, walking in the shadow of Mont Blanc. The scenery and the spring flowers were stunning. Beautiful views of glaciers and the high peaks. The walking was mainly on good paths with a fair amount of uphill each day to justify the beer at the end of the day!

On Foot really are brilliant. We've had 4 holidays with them. They could not be more helpful, keeping us up to date with any changes in itinerary due to weather. blocked footpaths etc. Their organization and advice before the holiday starts is great with information about local flora, fauna, geology or culture relevant to the particular walk. The walking packs and directions are first class and easy to follow. there is also the backup of their local contact who is usually the person that has designed the root. The walks take you away from the crowds, giving you a taste of the local culture in small and sometimes quite isolated villages. Food and accommodation is usually excellent but obviously varies on the different walks - small B&B's, wonderful chalets and small hotels - and your bags get there before you! Overall brilliant.

We enjoyed the strenuous long hikes through beautiful mountainous country, returning each evening to very comfortable accommodation and good food (and wine). The visit to the Aiguille du Midi was magnificent and the final day's walk along an alpine route, with snow, was truly memorable. Excellent route notes were provided, and all transport and luggage transfers were well coordinated. We really enjoyed this holiday.

All our our dealings with On Foot Holidays were friendly, helpful and efficient. They sent out very comprehensive information packs well in advance of the holiday. The operator has excellent local contacts and hosts who provided us with a warm welcome and invaluable assistance.
