The ascent of Mount Blanc presents numerous obstacles that demand physical endurance and acclimatisation to high altitudes. The variable weather conditions on the mountain also add to the complexity of the climb.

Proper planning is essential for a successful walking trip in Europe. Firstly, choose a specific trail or route based on your preferences and fitness level. Research the terrain, weather conditions and local customs and regulations. Invest in a pair of comfortable, well-fitted hiking boots and suitable outdoor clothing to ensure maximum comfort during your walks. It is also important to pack essential items such as a map, compass, first aid kit and sufficient water and food supplies. Lastly, prepare your body by gradually increasing your endurance through regular walking and hiking activities.

Absolutely amazing trip from start to finish. Met at the airport by a smiling Tenzi Sherpa, couldn’t have had a more welcoming greeting. Thorough briefing before an early start off into the mountains. Kept fully informed all the way along the trek. Always kept upbeat by Tenzis ready smile and laugh.
Stunning scenery and totally awe inspiring to walk among the highest mountains in the world.

All trips need a number of key ingredients to come together to make it work. The first is an interesting and varied itinerary, the second an effective and efficient leader. Finally, your fellow travellers. We were fortunate enough to have all three on our late February 2025 visit and we had the most amazing & relaxing time really getting to see the real Kerala. There were also lots of local support staff (i.e. cooks, drivers, guides etc) and these also played their part behind the scenes to make it work. Thank you !

Our holiday in Andalucía was unforgettable, thanks in large part to our outstanding guide, Mike. His deep knowledge of the region’s history, agriculture, and wildlife brought every walk to life. He introduced us to native birds, local traditions, and the warmth of village life, with his fluent Spanish making each interaction effortless. From scenic trails to shared moments over sherry, Mike’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience truly special. More than just a guide, he created a journey filled with discovery, connection, and adventure. Thanks to him, this was not just a walking holiday, but a deeper cultural experience.
