What an adventure! Mont Blanc was everything I needed and more. Our group was absolutely next level—I’m not sure what’s more sore, my legs or my face from laughing so much. I already miss everyone! I’ve never experienced backpacking like this before: cozy lodging each night, delicious cake and beverages along the way, and jaw-dropping views at every turn. I feel incredibly fortunate to experience it! And then there’s our guide, Paul… if I could give him 10 stars, I would. He freely shared his deep knowledge of each place we visited. I love that I now have stories and insights into the local people and history. Paul made the trip personal for everyone. Early on, I mentioned how much I loved saunas and cold plunges. On the last day, he hinted there might be a surprise if time allowed. Luckily, it did—and he led us to the most beautiful cold plunge spot I’ve ever seen. Huge thanks to Paul, Alps Adventures, and Mapo Tapo—this is a trip I’ll never forget!

Paul was such an incredible guide and really made the most of the entire experience. He really seemed to care about each of us enjoying our time and showing us absolutely everything the alps had to offer in the time we had there. 1,000% would recommend him as a guide and would love to go on another adventure with him in the future.

The guide and the skipper were incredible. Andrea was so knowledgeable and did a great job supporting and leading the group. David was an amazing skipper. They were both so welcoming and fun to be around. We also had great weather and a great group where all skiers were the same level and had the same goals for the trip.
