Just completed 4 day Alps adventure with the fabulous guide Lolotte. Stunning scenery, challenging climbs but so worthwhile, wonderful sense of achievement each day coupled with breathtaking vistas of Swiss, Italian and French alpine peaks. Would highly recommend.
Sayee
Very well organised trip. Our guide Guy was so very calm and patient. Managed a group of different abilities and requirements so efficiently. The scenery was brilliant, the mountain huts were great, food was satisfying and the quiz was so much fun! And the home made carrot cake by Tom's wife was such a lovely touch.Will definitely recommend Apls Adventures!

Fantastic experience, great company and a most motivating and supportive guide, Guy, who had a wealth of knowledge of the local flora and fauna as well as great skill as a trekking leader.
