"Gran Paradiso/Mont Blanc"

In general a fantastic week. It was very physically demanding as it was early season and there was extra snow and complications on parts of the route up to Mont Blanc. The accomodation good and hosts (Lucy and Calvin) were excellent.

The two guides we had (Nacho and Fabio) were very experienced and made you feel very safe.

There were some slight issues with transport at the end but in reality these were minor.

My one caution here would be that if you are considering this trip don't underestimate the need for fitness and some hill experience. I'm generally fit (putting a mix of activity for about 10 hrs per week) and I found it difficult. I found the intro courses with Matt Cooper of The Mountaineering Company invaluable. The YouTube videos seem to represent a mid season ascent.

I would agree with idea that a specific mountaineering fitness program/test would be a good idea.

"Mont Blanc climb"

From start to finish, an excellent experience. Amazing hosts with even more amazing mountain guides.
Top class all round.
Thank you.

"Gran Paradiso / Mont Blanc"

A brilliant week in The Alps with Adventure Base.

The accommodation in Chamonix was great and made all the better by the warmth of welcome from Calvin & Lucy. Calvin’s shortbread was delicious straight out of the oven!

Our group had 2 guides across the week who were both fantastic. Fabio was a hero and led our team in Italy before Nacho brought his energy for our Mont Blanc attempt. I learned so much from them both - and despite some very tough conditions we managed to summit Mont Blanc. Their passion for the mountains was endless and infectious. Thank you guys.

There were a couple of small logistics issues with transport that could have been slicker, but nothing too inconvenient.

I would however like to see more information from Adventure Base regarding the specific challenges of climbing early in the season.

Further, I think potential adventurers would benefit from Adventure Base providing a more robust fitness guide (or even a fitness test) to help them understand if they can cope with the challenge.

"Amazing Experience "

Myself and my partner were so excited for the Toubkal trek, and to say our expectations were exceeded would be an understatement! Our guide Mohamed went above and beyond for everything and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, and that goes for all who we met in the National Park, which is breathtakingly beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend this to all who are interested.

Tanmirt Mohamed & thank you Adventure Base!

"Amazing experience"

Incredible few days learning that I love ski touring. Beautiful place to learn with so many options available. Nacho is an amazingly experienced and patient guide focusing. Knew the best places to go and his emphasis on avalanche safety with really helpful technical conversations and ski touring technique meant we always felt safe. We even managed a full 1000m ascent and some incredible powder on the last day! The most extreme thing I have ever done!

Accommodation was great, nice food and well placed. As a solo traveller everyone was great and we had an amazing long weekend! Can’t wait to book my next trip!

"off piste intro course"

Awesome experience with Adventure Base! Had a best time, especially the off piste run from aguille du midi to vallee blanche. Guide Neil was great! Very fast and good communication with adventure base team, well organized, nice accommodation and service. Definitely coming back and recommend to friends.

"Great guide Hamish!"

Had a great 3 day intro to ski touring course with Hamish. Despite some challenging conditions he took us to some amazing places and even to created fresh tracks. Would recommend Hamish for any future adventure/course.

"Our guide is so nice and professional"

Our guide is so nice and professional, it is a very impressive 2.5days ski tour intro.

"Great adventure"

A very well organised trip. Hotel was great and the guide was perfect for what we wanted.

"Ski Touring Intro - Chamonix"

Just finished the Ski Touring Intro course with an additional day of private guiding tagged on the end. A fun, informative, challenging and ultimately incredibly rewarding experience. Impeccably organised by AB. The Chamonix base was very comfortable with plentiful food and a welcoming bar / lounge area, plus a ski store and drying room. The guide - Pablo - was hugely knowledgeable, fun & enthusiastic and made the most of the weather and snow conditions. He was constantly monitoring the conditions and the 'pulse' of each group member and adapted accordingly. My 'treat' for the private guided day was skiing the Vallee Blanche, a beautiful and astonishing experience. Thanks Pablo & AB.
