Adventure Base Arvostelua 

Our guides Nacho and Gareth were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, our experience would not have been the same without them. Doing Gran Paradiso as a training summit was very useful, we learned a lot, and it helped our Mont Blanc summit more safe and streamlined. Our Chamonix host Lea did a fantastic job organizing and coordinating meals and transportation. Looking forward to doing more Adventure Base experiences in the future!

Recently finished a trip climbing gran paradiso and mont blanc, the overall expierence was brilliant from day 0 booking till the last day. The challet, the staff, the guides, the organisation that goes into such a trip is massive but it feels very streamlined from the very start.

Would highly recommend anyone to adventure base.

Massive shout out to lea, gareth and all the team at adventure base for making our whole trip brilliant.

An immersive trek through the rippling peaks around Mont Blanc. Lots of new experiences, healthy challenges and laughs! A multi-sensory adventure that will live long in the memory. Expertly facilitated by Adventure Base and masterfully led by our brilliant guide, Jason.

Amazing 4 days, some amazing highlights and Jason was a superb guide who really understood the dynamics and capability of the group and led us expertly. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was really exceptional and truly added to the trip - every day is a school day and all that!

Adventure base are a fantastic company to experience the beauty of the alps with. I flew out to Chamonix to climb Mont Blanc and I arranged this through AB. This was a trip due to take place in August 2022, although the unprecedented heat wave made the trip unsafe to carry out, these things are acts of nature and cannot be helped. The difference between a good business and a bad one is how they handle those situations, Olly and his team arranged many options that worked for everyone and I opted to reschedule the trip to another time of my choosing at no additional costs, becuase I really wanted to take on Mont Blanc.

I have just returned home after an amazing week, climbing not one but two alps, Gran Paradiso and the mighty Mont Blanc!

The experience of a lifetime, I chose AB originally based on their great reputation and they did not disappoint. If they are good enough to take the likes of Richard Branson and Royal Family members, I'm quite sure that I'm in safe hands... and I was.

The guides were Fabio and Roger, both at the top of their game, experts in what they do and they looked after us exceptionally well. We established good friendly relationships and got to experience the beauty of the alps and felt safe in the care of these two guides. They were fun, professional, skilled, and made sure we were ok through out the trips. I summited Gran Paradiso with Fabio and Mont Blanc with Roger, both amazing people, full of life, experience and genuinely love what they do.

I would absolutely suggest Adventure Base or any future trips. I'm certainly glad I chose them.

Another great experience with Adventure base! I have been out with this company before, and so I decided to go and climb Mont Blanc with them, and it did not disappoint. We had a great week, Adventure Base took care of everything, from great accommodation both on and off the mountain, very experienced and friendly Guides Kyriakos and Jorge, as well as a lovely host Lea. A great company that I will use again for future Adventures!!

Adventure Base made our TMB section hike simple and easy. It was great having the provided GPS routes to know where to go without question. It was wonderful to know we had a team we could contact if we had any questions. We were able to modify the hike on the fly with the team to fit in travel plans and weather conditions, which made the whole process stress free.

Look no further (I will not). You are in the best hands! Highly professional, with great communication and very caring at every step. My experience was shaped by Fabio (130 times at the summit) and Olly (countless summits organized), both went an extra mile and ensured the Mont Blanc summit became real, tangible and memorable venture. Every other guide Lluc, David, Catalin, just kept confirming Adventure Base is the go to agency. THANK YOU.

Adventure Base was the perfect outfitter for climbing Mont Blanc! Everything was well-curated, and our guides, Hamish and Gareth were phenomenal. Make the reservation now and get ready for the adventure of a life time!

In the last week I summited Mont Blanc and Gran Paradiso with Adventure Base. It was hands down one of the best weeks of my life. Olly was an absolute gentleman. The two guides Hamish and Gareth were absolute legends and did an excellent job guiding us all week. The weather couldn’t have been any better and I would do it again in a heartbeat

So lucky to have had a great trip with Adventure Base to GP and MB summits. The weather was fabulous, the extra snow made the mountains safer from rock fall, the guides 'Miha' & 'David (saved my life), were considerate, humurous and 100% trrusted in their skill to help us navigate the mountains. There is a real lack of water in the huts, so get used to being smelly and wearing the same clothes for a few days, but this is a by product of mountaineering. The views and snow in sunrise and the mornings were amazing, the team building and learning about tough situations changes you and builds character. The package was well worth it and everyone who assisted from AB were great. Top week away in the Alps. Thank you.

We went on a Gran Paradiso + Mont Blanc summit trip 7/6 to 14/6. We reached the summit both places, so mission accomplished 🙂
We had Miha as the guide the whole week and David joined us for Mont Blanc. Amazing people that 100% know their stuff, but still have a great sense of humor, you enjoy being around them and just make the trip so much better. We stayed in the Chalet with Lea as the host where everything was very nice (she makes some good cakes 😋).
I'm glad I had the opportunity, and would definitely go with adventure base again in the future. Very professional and you will feel safe from ordering to you go home again.

I wanted to provide a review of the past 7+ days with Adventure Base. I cannot provide a stronger recommendation for the experience this past week. From the organization of the expedition each day, the huts, planned acclimatization, safety, the backbone of the trip was exceptional that Olly & Charlie led. From there, the guides took over, Miha, our lead guide, Alessandro & Fernand, we could not have had a more experienced set of guides, but who were also patient, friendly, humble & supportive when we needed it over the 6 days creating a tight knit team on Gran Paradiso & Mont Blanc. Hope to have a chance to climb with them again in the future. Thank you Team Adventure Base!

I had an excellent week ski touring in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Adventure Base and Pablo our wonderful guide created a seamless week with each day tailored to our preferences. Highly recommend this beautiful area and taking a trip with Adventure Base who take the utmost care in ensuring customer happiness!

We have just returned from an amazing ski touring week in the Gran Paradiso National Park with Adventure Base.
This is one of the very best Ski touring weeks I have been on in the last 10 years.
This is not the first time we have ski toured with AB (we did the Haute Route with them last year) so we already knew how good they are at organising these sort of trips. However, this Gran Paradiso tour was something very special indeed.
Whilst we used huts during the week, there is plenty of flexibility in terms of which huts can be used and therefore huge flexibility in terms of which peaks you can summit in preparation for the 4061m high Gran Paradiso peak itself towards the end of the week.
One thing is consistent in this region though; it is not a busy place! There were days when we only saw a handful of other people and we regularly had more or less entire mountain to ourselves. Large parts of the mountain were literally un-tracked.
The huts were perhaps half empty, and with typically friendly Italian welcomes.
The geography of the area is stunning and varied so no two days are the same, whatever peaks you choose to ascend.
Our guide was Pablo (again) and he really is a first class guide. His communication skills are excellent and most importantly, he knows the area incredibly well which was a huge asset in what were sometimes changeable weather conditions. Pablo likes to get the very best out of the time we have, and also likes to to push people to get them to places that perhaps they didn't previously think possible. However, he always discussed options with us and the final decision as to what we did each day was always ours; within the confines of safety of course. Speaking of which, we have always felt totally safe being guided by Pablo. He takes great care to check all aspects of safety and he creates a sense of confidence which makes the week both enjoyable but also exciting. Again, his detailed knowledge of this area is a huge asset. He is chatty and very friendly and provides very clear guidance on more challenging sections. We had a lot of fun and laughs along the way too.
The owners of Adventure Base are one of the most customer focused teams I have ever come across in my 60 year life. Olly, Charlie and the rest of the team are excellent. Their ethos seems to stem from one simple question: "what does the customer want?" They really do ask you that all the time.
They don't try to fit you into one of their trips; they want to build a trip around what YOU want to do.
On the Gran Paradiso tour that level of customer service and flexibility from the owners of AB, together with the excellent Pablo, made for a fabulous week.
We felt that the effort the entire AB crew made (from pre booking talks, right through to the final day drinks together) to ensure that we had the very best week possible, was quite unique in this industry (having toured with several other companies over the years).
Thank you to all of you for a weeks ski touring that I will remember and cherish forever!
There is so much variety within this National Park that I am sure we will visit this area with AB again.
Ade.

Dear Olly, my son and I had a terrific time in the excellent and very enjoyable hands of your guide Miha. After training hard for several months, it was very disappointing to have our trip reduced by losing both the Argentiere and Trient huts at the beginning of the Haute Route due to equipment failure of the photographer, who joined our trip, and to lose the last day from vignette hut to Zermatt which we had so looked forward to. As a result, we only completed three of the planned six huts. It’s unlikely that my son and I will have the opportunity to do the Haute Route again, a real shame. I don’t criticise the guide and his decision-making and we support him. It was unfortunate that equipment failure of a cameraman who joined us, caused us to turn back. The skills of the group were reasonably diverse and so were the fitness levels. I wonder if there is a way to grade skills prior to the trip, perhaps along the lines of 1. fitness, 2. skiing ability, and 3. Mountaineering skills? No attempt before the trip was made to assess these essential skills. If any group’s skills were more closely aligned, similar disappointments to ours would be less likely.
Whilst I understand you have to run a business, the tension created by needing to accept people on the trip (necessary income) versus being more discerning and selective is a difficult balance. I do not wish to be too critical, I’m trying to be constructive here, and I must add that we did still have a terrific experience, despite our disappointment.

Matt and the Mountaineering Company team delivering the course in Wales were superb. They had checked our goals and reasons ahead of time. We discussed these and were able to tailor the course to our specific abilities and needs.

Advice on kit selection, use and experience tips were invaluable at our end of day cake and coffee wrap ups - best way to end each day !

Accommodation at the Rocks Hostel was excellent

Following on with consecutive 3 days of Alpine Prep allowed us to consolidate skills and better experience a longer duration of the mountain time we will have on our Mont Blanc Trip

Highly recommend the course and feel very prepared for Mont Blanc

Adventure Base and in particular, our guide Morgan Salen made our ski tour to the Lyngen Alps one of the best adventures of my life. We were extremely lucky with the weather, but Morgan guided us to, up and down the best routes on the best snow every day. Fantastic accommodation, food, activities and company. I cannot rate either Morgan or Adventure Base any higher. Cheers guys.

Haute Route, great trip, iconic for a reason, fantastic guide, had the challenge, and more, I expected, 4 days great weather added to the experience - well done Adventure Base

What an epic experience........

Adventure Base were excellent in providing us all the information we need prior to arrival in Chamonix. On arrival we met our guide Pablo who was absolutely amazing the whole trip. His communication between the 6 members of our group was excellent and he guided our mixed abilities to the finish with composure and skill!

We look forward to booking our next trip with Adventure Base.
