Our classic chalet based walking holidays combine challenging day walks in the beautiful Haut Giffre valley in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps, with the comfort and conviviality of our superb catered chalet accommodation in the attractive village of Samoëns.

Spend the day exploring this wonderful Alpine region with our resident guide and other guests (a typical group size is around eight guests), then return to the comfort of our charming chalet, to relax and share the day's experiences with your fellow guests, while we take care of everything else.

• Walking to the 'End-of-the-World', literally
• View across to the Mont Blanc massif
• Getting up close to Ibex and other rare mountain wildlife
• Returning to fresh tea and cake
• Sharing stories over dinner with your new companions

In 2008 we are running these holidays from 07 June through to 20 September. The price for one week is £495.00, plus £50.00 for transfers from Geneva, if required. This is per person based on two people sharing. Although we don't charge any single supplements, we may ask single guests to share one of our spacious twin rooms with another guest of the same sex. Short breaks of four nights are £395.00.
