Rewarding trekking through spectacular scenery
On the last day climbing up the metal ropes from the morning break
Albert was inspirational & made you truly believe everything is possible, just take your time. Eric was like his partner & equally as helpful
A reasonable level of fitness is required for this trip but is rewarded many times over
Breathtaking scenery, two excellent leaders, delicious food – what more can you want? Except maybe not getting deep snow in September!
Coming up to a pass after an exhausting steep climb and seeing the most stupendous array of mountains all around (this actually happened more than once!)
Both B and C group leaders (Jem and Albert) were magnificent. They had to cope with lots of unexpected problems - standing in at short notice for Eric who was injured, devising new walks that could be done safely after the heavy snowfall, coping with early closure of cable cars. They not only gave us a wonderful selection of walks despite everything, they both gave up their free day to take us out once the snow stopped. What can you say?
Be aware the weather can be changeable - make sure you have good waterproofs and adequate warm clothing (but shorts and t-shirts as well). Also, if you do the C grade, be prepared for some scrambling and some narrow ridges.
Walking, accommodation (especially the food) and leaders all excellent – BUT Exodus really shouldn’t run the trip as late as mid-September – the winter timetable had started a week earlier so some cable cars weren’t running, and unexpected heavy snow led to others being shut down – because of this the leaders had to work very hard to find alternative walks and it is to their great credit that they managed to do so.
Walking in deep snow in September....! The views (once it stopped raining and snowing) were amazing!
Both were excellent - and they both willingly gave up their free day to take us on walks
Great trip but don't go later than the first week in September as both cable cars and huts are shutting down - and I don't think it's fair of Exodus to run the trip then and put extra pressure on leaders
A fantastic area, the scenery was breathtaking and the hotel was excellent. Using cable cars and gondolas to gain height means that most of the walking has tremendous views. Underfoot the wildflowers are beautiful and there are marmots and chamois to see. At the end of the day the spa area of the hotel was well used. Hotel food was excellent with several unusual dishes and a scrumptious gala evening which was a real treat
1 Seeing a chamois crossing the path not 20 ft away2 Getting to the top of one of the highest peaks at almost 10000 ft on the free day (mainly by amazing cable car)3 Managing to complete a section to the time specified on the signpost4 As ever on an Exodus tripp meeting like minded people and having a great time getting to know them
Eric was a very good leader - lots of knowledge about the area including the rocks, flowers etc. The routes were chosen to make the most of poor weather forecasts although it turned out the forecasts were unduly pessimistic. He has a good sense of humour and the knack of creating a happy atmosphere in the group
Make sure to take a swimsuit to take advantage of the hotel spa area. On the free day a good choice is to take the cable cars to the top of Sass Podoi from where the view is incredible and the mountain hut does the usual excellent lunch. I did find the altitude affected me, I had not been this high before and the walking made me more breathless than normal. People more accustomed to heights did not experience this.
A fab trip – amazing scenery, great company, lovely food, hotel and spa and a very enthusiastic and capable guide (Eric)
It felt good to get to 'the top' on the days when we had steady climbing and was lovely to see people quietly looking out for each other especially on the steep 'marble roads' where loose stones meant a few of us slipped (elegantly)!
Eric was very keen and organised and a lovely bloke. He offered options for those wanting half days or needing to avoid the steeper climbs and even organised a quiz in the bar.He was keeping an eye on all of us without it being obvious and gently played down how much more climbing there might be - the term 'relatively flat' wil never mean the same again!
Take 2 walking poles - I found them really helpful on steep ascents and descents and they stopped me slipping over a few times (although some people didn't use them at all)You may need more cash than suggested - we ate in restaurants which was better than picnics as we often needed a big bowl of pasta etcIf you want to be as fit as possible then do some steep ascents and descents pre trip!Don't forget your blister plasters!
This trip was the perfect combination for me – great scenery, varied walks, excellent hotel, amazing food and a great group of people. Eric led the group B walks and he was the perfect leader.
Drawing the curtains back on the first morning, having arrived in rain and darkness the night before, and seeing the beautiful mountains!Seeing the incredible views after a slog up a steep slope!The wild flowers. They were so abundant and beautiful.Swimming and relaxing in the steam room before dinner - what luxury!
Eric was relaxed but in control, which is no mean feat when you have a group of 17 or so. He briefed us about the next day's walk every evening. He had alternatives in case of bad weather.We had a storm after lunch one day and Eric changed the route so that we got down as fast as possible. Then the bus didn't arrive so he arranged a taxi for us all while we waited in a cafe. He was a great group leader and I'm sure he could handle anything.He knew lots about the area, plants, etc too. He was a lovely, knowledgable, good humoured guide.
Believe the trip notes when it says take a warm hat and gloves. It was late June and the weather on the last few days was variable. We got caught in a storm and it hailed. I was very glad of my hat, gloves and waterproof trousers!I had a hydration system and everyone envied it.Take a walking pole (or two). I'd never used one before and I was glad of it on the gravelly slopes, some of which are quite steep.
A really great holiday with varied scenary which was fantastic. A great area for walking.
The fantastic views from the summits and passes in the mountains.
Albert was a fantastic group c leader. He took account of weather conditions to plan the best walk for each day with alternatives if weather conditions dictated. Every day was a great walk with different scenary and fantastic wild flowers and several marmot sitings.
We really enjoyed the walking in this area and the hotel was great. We really enjoyed the food and used the pool and leisure facilities each evening which were great after a hard days walking
