Just a hop away from the UK lies the beauty of the Alps Mountain range. Only five days in total, this charity challenge is ideal for those with less time to take away from home.
This breathtaking charity trek covers 43km through the Mont Blanc region of the Alps. Join us and be part of our amazing European challenge team and witness just how beautiful the Alps can be!
Our charity trek will certainly challenge, with lots of ups and downs, but the rewards are the pleasure of seeing the most spectacular views this part of Europe has to offer – from stunning cliffs to gorgeous waterfalls running from glaciers!

We depart the UK to Geneva, Switzerland and transfer to our hotel in Chamonix, France.
In the morning we head out on foot to the cable car and head up to 2,000 metres above sea leave to begin our trek. Today our walk will mainly be a traverse with spectacular and breathtaking panoramic views of the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Throughout the day will have views of the Mont Blanc massif and other glaciers and long-distance views to Italy. Our route will take us to the famous Lac Blanc and Lac des Cheserys. On completion of our days trekking, we arrive in the village of Le Buet where we will then take a transfer to La Fouly.
Trekking distance – approx. 14km / 6 hours
A slightly easier day today, but our legs will still be feeling the previous day’s trek! We follow the Swiss part of the Val Ferret to Champex (1,450m). The trail will take us through traditional Swiss villages and across open meadows where we’ll see local farmers tending to the land. The views from this part of the trek are outstanding, as you would expect.
Champex-Lac is a lovely little town and we may have the opportunity at the end of the day to visit the town and lake before we take a transfer to Trient.
Trekking distance – approx. 14km / 6 hours
In the morning we set off from Trient. After a brief walk along the valley we will begin to climb a zig-zag trail through the trees before emerging into open grounds.
The trail then climbs further to the stunning Col de Balme (2,191m), which marks the border between Switzerland and France. After some short undulations to Col des Posettes we will descend to Argentiere to finish our trek. Our toughest day of the challenge but an amazing end to our adventure! We will then take a short transfer to Chamonix, where we can toast our achievement at the celebratory meal this evening.
Trekking distance – approx. 15km / 7 hours
Following breakfast, we take the transfer to Geneva airport for our flight back to the UK.
