Adventure Base Arvostelua 

The direct, face to face meetings with both Beth Gavoille and Charlie Krarup left me feeling that they each genuinely wanted to understand my needs, wants and concerns and would do whatever they could to assist me as much as possible. I never felt that I was simply a customer in a financial transaction with them but rather that they authentically cared about me. You truly felt that you were being listened to.

Booked our 11 day self guided tour du mont blanc trek with adventure base who were great from the outset. From prior to booking in answering all of our questions, keeping us informed throughout the booking process all the way through to being readily available to answer any questions and provide alternative gpx and information on varient routes we wanted to take. Incredible team. Thank you

Unforgettable 5-star adventure with this travel agency in the Alps and Chamonix! Breathtaking landscapes, exhilarating activities, and knowledgeable guides made the trip extraordinary. Top-notch accommodations and a commitment to responsible tourism. An adrenaline-pumping journey with a touch of luxury. Highly recommend!

I always like the personalized plans and attention from Adventure Base. I've done three climbs with them, and I will do more. Great company.

Quick communication. Good brief before track. Easy to follow track on FATMAP

Amazing!! I had booked to climb Mont Blanc and Gran Paradiso - From start to finish the trip was faultless and ran smoothly, you can really tell how much effort and expertise has gone into making the experience the best it possibly can be.

This was my first proper mountaineering trip (definitely will not be my last) and right from the start I could tell I was in good hands. A lot of information is provided up front from AB regarding the trip, itinerary and also useful kit guides making sure that by the time you arrive in Chamonix you are fully prepared.

Our guide Fabio was awesome… extremely funny, friendly and clearly has a wealth of experience on the mountains. He not only provided us with the key skills that we needed to keep safe on the mountains but also a lot of great stories and humour to keep moral high for those long days on your feet.

I am so glad that I went through AB as they made this trip unforgettable and was a perfect introduction into the world of mountaineering.

Thank you everyone at AB

Excellent communication before the trip with clear instructions, equipment list and plan. Accommodation was perfect in Chamonix with super friendly host. Guides on the mountain were awesome. Would highly recommend Adventure Base for a well organised and fun trip up a mountain!

We are so pleased with our self-guided 9-day Tour du Mont Blanc trek through Adventure Base. The company had clear communication with us the whole way- from
making our itinerary, checking in before with left the US, checking in once we got to Chamonix, and then while we were on the trail as well. They helped us chose a different route mid hike, making us feel safe and supported.

They also did a lot of small things that went a long way- holding our luggage + dropping it off at our hotel to be ready for us once we were done hiking, providing us with digital + paper maps, a mini trail first aid kit and buffs. We are so thankful to have used them!

We would highly recommend any one looking for explore the alps to use Adventure Base!

The Adventure Base team was a complete pleasure to work with - friendly and knowledgeable. The team was super responsive from start to finish (from planning phase and throughout our trek) providing great advice, logistics and support. We will use AB again - 5 stars!!

We did the TMB with adventure base- family with 2 teenagers. We honestly could not have asked for a better organised self guided tour- the accommodation, bag transfers, food and the communication by Adventure base ( both pre tour when we were in Australia and on the tour) were amazing. Only trumped by Mother Nature- what a beautiful and bucket list walk. Olly, Beth and Virginie were superb and we highly recommend this tour company.

Great trip great guides everything went so smooth 100%.

I picked Adventure Base because I wanted to do the Tour du Mont Blanc self guided, but with support, and it was important to me to pick an agency that was local to the TMB so theyd be able to easily provide this support. At one point in my life, I was into researching all the details and planning all the logistics, and this is the first time ive outsourced the planning to someone else. Im super type A and Adventure Base ticked off all the checkboxes for details and organization. I was travelling with my 72 year old father and my 10 year old son and they provided accurate guidance for a reasonable itinerary as well as secure reservations for us at our desired refuges. We ran into some small snafus during the trail and Adventure Base was available over whatsapp for immediate help and was super resourceful on how to get our luggage back to Chamonix from Courmayeur. It's like having a super knowledgeable friend at your fingertips. I also appreciated that the people who work at Adventure Base have done the TMB themselves so they can speak directly as to what the cols are like. 5/5 would recommend and book with them again.

Just got back from my second outing with AdventureBase and this time summited Mont Blanc (last time summited Gran Paradiso but didn’t manage Mont Blanc due to weather). The ‘turbo’ course is a great idea as it’s a slightly shorter course for those who have been before and doesn’t unnecessarily repeat the basic training. As before, the organisation was spot-on at every stage from booking to course completion and enough information is provided for you to know what to expect at all times. All the AB people are great - professional but also welcoming and friendly. Olly and Virginia in Chamonix seemed genuinely as pleased as I was that we summited and it feels as though they are really rooting for you and want to do everything they can to help you achieve your goal. Our guide (Jon) was excellent and stoically accommodated my slow pace on the descent due to me hurting my ankle. The accommodation in Chamonix is good and is heaven to get back to after a couple of nights in the mountain huts!
All-in-all, I believe it’s great value for money and they provide the sort of experiences which will live with you for a lifetime. I will never forget Mont Blanc. Thanks to all at AB for making it happen.

I chose Adventure Base as they were the only company I could find that allowed solo self-guided complete Tour du Mont Blanc and being based out of Chamonix, I figured they would know the area and conditions well. I was not disappointed - they exceeded all expectations, making this trip as smooth and stress free as possible for me, particularly being solo. I would highly recommend this experience for other solo travellers as you meet so many incredible people from all around the world along the way and have a help line for advice from Adventure Base if you need it.

We had a spectacular trip - and Adventure Base was a big reason why. The staff was proactive before the trip, providing advice on packing and IMPORTANTLY on weather and proper equipment (ie micro-spikes and poles) to make us safe and comfortable. All the staff were knowledgeable and responsive to all our many questions during the Tour. It was like having a personal guide OFF the mountain - a prefect solution as we wanted to hike on our own but wanted expert advice. thank you!

Had such an amazing week and managed to summit both Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc!
The trip was perfectly organised and ran smoothly by Olly and the others at Adventure Base. Our guides Fede and Luis are experts and kept us safe and entertained throughout the climbs.
This was my first experience of mountaineering and I enjoyed it so much I'm sure it won't be my last! Highly recommended 👌🏻

From time of booking till we checked out of the hotel everything was taken care of.

Extremely well put together trip. Everything was taken in to consideration and covered.

The 3 days on Gran Paradiso was great acclimatisation and it’s also a fantastic peak.

Our guides were fantastic. Friendly, funny and nothing was too much for them.

Olly was able to give drop us off and pick us up from Les Houches which was great. He also met us for a beer after we got back to Chamonix. It’s these little touches that make the difference.

I will be booking another trip with Adventure Base and will be recommending them to friends.

What an incredible experience!
I booked to summit Mont Blanc with Adventure Base & everything went flawlessly, from the arrival in Chamonix, to the acclimatisation summit of Gran Paradiso, & of course summiting Mont Blanc. Our guide Fede was incredible, & it was entirely thanks to him that we were able to summit. I’d absolutely book with Adventure Base for another trip!

From the day we chose AB, they asked the right questiona, gave clear information right away and made it easy to have the most worry-free TMB self-guided trip ever.

Beth was amazing. Ollie must have amazing relationships and be incredibly respected becauae all we had to do at amybof the lodgings was say Ollie at Adventure Base and everything was confirmed.

Challenges and distances were perfect for us. We will book with them again and tell all friends and family to use AB. They even gave us updates and advice along the way to keep us safe and to let us be able to take some variants.

They even went the extra mile with a shower and clean up in Chamonix.

Everything was amazing!

Just returned from our self-guided trek around Mont Blanc! We had the most incredible experience with Adventure Base from the very start. Over the last 10 months the team has reached out consistently to make sure they were booking the trip with our needs in mind, as well as responding promptly and thoroughly to every question we had. Once we got closer to the trip, they sent team members to check the conditions and due to late season snow, recommended we bring crampons. We were SO happy to have them - we saw others on the trail that did not have that intel and had to turn back at Col du Bonhomme. On our first day, we arranged a time to meet up and they gave us our welcome briefing and we could ask all the questions we had. This allowed us to ask questions about current conditions and route recommendations. They also allowed us to rent poles from them and stored our extra suitcase upon our request. Once on the trail, we were in a WhatsApp where we received very fast replies to all our questions. This was like having a guide off the mountain - it’s amazing! Can’t recommend them enough, we are so happy with the trip thanks to them!
