Remco
We had a nice trip. Unfortunately one of us fell en had to skip 1 day. The guide Olivier is very professional, knows the area well en is high skilled. Thereby he is a nice guy and wel had good talks and laughs. He brought us to some simple but very good auberges and we had lovely meals, accompanied with good wine.
Sous ses airs sérieux et stricts, Alex possède une vraie expérience de la montagne et n’hésite pas à la partager. Il nous a permis de découvrir la montagne sous un nouvel angle et ce en toute sécurité.
Parfois pince-sans-rire, Alex nous apporte toute sa sagesse dans son activité et n'hésite pas à nous conseiller pour encore mieux en profiter.

The conditions were hard, a lot of wind and some cloud layers downside. Quentin managed to keep the group together and drove us trough deep powder on the lower parts of Alpe d'huez since La Grave was closed. It is an excellent guide with huge human skills ! We loved our journey with Quentin and are sure we will ride together again soon
