Private walking days
Your group. Your pace. A considered route.
A free introduction to an independent mountain leader for a private walking day in Chamonix or the surrounding Alps.
- Your group
- Individuals, couples, families & friends
- Your time
- A shorter walk or a full day to discuss
- Your pace
- Scenic, steady or a longer challenge
- Your costs
- Free introduction; the leader quotes the activity
Ideas to discuss. Your leader confirms suitability, availability, duration and arrangements.
The character of the day
A day shaped around your group.
Start with the character of the day: gentle and scenic, longer and more purposeful, or slower with time to notice the landscape. The leader considers your group and the conditions before proposing a route. A particular summit or itinerary is not promised by this introduction.
This is an introduction service. Leader availability and suitability must be confirmed before any activity is agreed.
Useful details
What to discuss with the leader.
- Recent walks, comfortable duration and uphill
- Confidence on uneven ground and around heights
- Children’s ages and walking experience, where relevant
- Interests such as views, wildlife, photography or a refuge stop
- Where you are staying, transport and available time
- Equipment, extra costs and alternatives if conditions change
The introduction is free, with no commission. I ask for specific permission before sharing your details with a named leader. The leader makes their own offer and handles suitability, arrangements, contract and payment.
