4 trip grading - moderate to challenging This trip is graded moderate to challenging and includes daily walks of up to 7 hours and ascents of up to 1200m. There are some stages during the walk with steep uphill, descents, and at times sections of the trail will require care. The accent is on keeping a steady pace to with time to stop and take photos (subject to weather conditions). You will need a good level of fitness to participate fully in this adventure. It is considered suitable for experienced walkers only. Early in the season (June) you may encounter snow on the passes which may be quite deep and make the trip more challenging. At any time during summer, weather conditions may be variable and you should be prepared for all conditions including snow, ice, strong sun and extreme winds. As with all our moderate programs, we expect participants to be regular outdoors people, enjoying aerobic sport around three or four times a week over some period of time. Preferably this has been a long term interest but if not, you have set a program of fitness preparation with at least three months lead in time to your trip. The fitter you are for your trip, the more of a holiday it will be. Activities as close to the actual activity on your trip are the best training; in this instance walking with and without a pack. This builds leg strength, aerobic capacity and confidence in your ability to travel comfortably with a pack for extended periods. At the same time, you are also comfortable with the layers you like to wear and footwear. dietary requirements Provided we are advised in advance of your departure we are able to cater for vegetarian diets and can assist with medically recommended diets (allergies and intolerances). Please ensure you discuss your requirements with us well in advance (at least 1 month prior to your trip) to determine whether we can cater to such dietary requirements on your chosen adventure. Please note that options are likely to be limited in very remote locations or alternatives may be more expensive or unavailable. There may be times when those with special requirements may need to provide their own food. We are unable to guarantee a peanut free or allergen free trip, and therefore, we strongly encourage that travellers with life threatening or severe allergies take all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure. Passengers must travel with all necessary medications for food allergies and be capable of self administering these medications. about your group You will be joining a group with a mix of participants from different countries, speaking different languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. Your tour leader is likely to be a native French speaker who will guide in French and English. This is not an English only speaking tour. We recommend that you take a French English phrase book. accommodation DURING TOUR Accommodation is on a full board basis starting from lunch on day 1 and finishing at lunch on day 7. The mountain huts that you stay in are dormitory style mixed sex rooms with shared bathrooms and usually without showers. The hospice and hotels will also be dormitory with shared facilities but with showers. There is a possibility to upgrade to a double room on some nights, subject to availability and payment of a fee of between 15 and 25 per person directly to your host. the region This trek passes through the Valais Region of Switzerland. The Valais is Switzerland s third largest canton (state). The area is quite diverse as it occupies the valley of the River Rhone. 20% of the canton is covered by glaciers however surprisingly the area has the driest climate and the lowest rainfall within Switzerland. For the Swiss, the Valais represents a piece of heritage all but lost elsewhere in the country: in the most unlikely corners of Geneva or Zurich, you can find restaurants done up as traditional Valaisian style darkwood chalets, complete with windowboxes full of geraniums and farm tools as decoration on the walls, serving up the local speciality Raclette. The climate of the valley is perfect for wine growing and the vineyards are famous for producing some of the finest wine in the country. Page 4
5 Julius Caesar in a push to conquer the Celtic peoples in the first century BC crossed the Grand St Bernard Pass from Italy and spread out through the valley. They got as far as modern day Sierre and left a legacy of Latin still used today. Christianity arrived before the fourth century, with the travelling clerics and merchants over the same pass but the Reformation did not make it any further into the valley then Aigle, in neighbouring Canton Vaud. The mighty Bernese army was stopped by the mountains and the wildness of the terrain. During the Middle Ages many of the community left the mountains to seek a better life elsewhere due to the harshness of living in the valley. The Valais remained independent until 1815 when, following a brief period of French governorship, it joined the Swiss Confederation as a new canton. The trek also passes through the Aosta Valley, the smallest region of Italy. This alpine valley is ringed by the flanks of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn. The regions main languages are Italian and French. fast facts COUNTRIES VISITED VISAS Switzerland & Italy Visas not required for citizens of Australia, Canada, USA and New Zealand for up to 90 days in a period of 180 days for all Schengen countries (see www. schengenvisainfo.com/schengen visa countries list/ for countries part of the Schengen). Please ensure your passport is stamped on arrival in the Schengen area. For all other nationalities and for longer stays in countries covered by the Schengen Agreement (Australian New Zealand, Canadian and US passport holders), please contact the relevant embassy. Stays of longer than 90 days in the Schengen area require a long stay visa for the country you are spending most time in. However long stay visas are unlikely to be issued unless there is a valid reason (eg. studying in country). Unfortunately we cannot assist in obtaining visas for long stays due to individual country visa requirements. CLIMATE The walking season in the European Alps is short from mid June to mid September and many of the mountain refuges are closed outside this time. In winter parts of the trail are transformed into world class ski runs, evidenced by the comprehensive network of cablecars or téléfériques. Bearing in mind that much of the route is at altitudes of over 1000m, the temperatures can vary significantly. Please note at the beginning of the season you may experience snow and therefore the walking can be harder and slippery underfoot. Temperatures in summer range from around 6 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius during the day. Afternoon thunderstorms are quite common. At the higher elevations it is important to dress with layers as cold winds and possible snow falls can happen even in summer. MIN GROUP SIZE 8 MAX GROUP SIZE 15 SPECIALIST GEAR REQUIRED Wet weather gear, sunscreen, walking boots, warm clothes, day pack and sun hat walking sticks are recommended. special notes TRIP ORGANISATION Our groups consist of a maximum of 15 people. Our trusted mules spare you the worry of carrying your own belongings. There is a 7 kg maximum for the bags and any excess will be refused unless, so make sure you weigh it beforehand. Lunches are picnic style and the guide will split the lunch supplies between the group members to carry during the day. The trip begins in Fionnay and we will confirm the meeting place and time with you on booking or at least 2 months before the departure date. We have suggestions for pre and post accommodation. Excess luggage needs to be stored at your pre accommodation hotel for collection. CONFIRMATION OF DEPARTURE Page 5
6 The operation of this trip requires a minimum number of participants. Departures can be cancelled up to 3 weeks prior to the trip start date.
