Mountain Climbing trips – Valsavarenche

A 60 ans, j\'avais besoin de prouver que mon organisme était encore capable de se surpasser. C\'était un test pour l\'ascension du KILI. Attention prévenir les novices comme moi à bien s\'alimenter lors de l\'ascension sous peine de manquer d\'énergie dans les 100 derniers mètres de l\'ascension du Grand Paradis. Aventure inoubliable. Merci à Andréa.

Jean-Marc nous a guidé avec beaucoup de professionnalisme dans l\'ascension du Grand-Paradis cet été. Ce fut une très belle première expérience d\'alpinisme pour moi, en toute confiance. Les passionnantes discussions à bâtons-rompus comme le respect du silence (dans la longue descente) m\'ont paru précieux également.

J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Goulven et d’être guidé par lui sur le Grand Paradis en août 2014. C’est un super compagnon de cordée, un pro de la sécurité, un excellent leader, un défenseur de belles valeurs montagnardes et une personne très riche par le métier diversifié qu’il exerce, guide de haute montagne mais aussi copilote d’hélicoptère.

Je recommande vivement de vous entourer de Goulven pour vos expéditions. Outre ses excellentes compétences techniques, vous découvrirez un guide aimant partagé sa riche expérience humaine et professionnelle et soucieux de vous faire vivre de belles choses à ses côtés!

Jean-Marc is an experienced professional with a good sense of humor. Getting to the top of the Gran Paradiso with him has been a pleasant and enriching experience.

Thanks to Jean-Marc (together with his colleague Goulven) we spent a wonderful time climbing up the Gran Paradisio! Their great technical expertise and long-standing experience enable us to feel safe as well as excited about this trek! In addition, I enjoyed very much our inspiring discussions with these guides. They shared their rich professional and human experience with a great deal of enthusiasm! I recommend to spend the night at the Chabod refuge on the first day and drop by Vittorio Emmanuel II while climbing-down towards the starting point.

Highly recommend this trip! We cannot praise our guide enough! Gigio was fantastic!! The trip up Gran Paradiso is a beautiful walk in a completely unspoilt valley. We stayed in the Chabod but at 2750m which had everything we needed with decent food. The climb turned out to be difficult due to the conditions but our guide did everything he could to get us to the top. Thoroughly enjoyable 2 days!

Our guide was Christopher Garrigues

Peaks Hunters were brilliant from the point of first contact.  They took care of every last detail from planning the trip to providing all the mountaineering equipment.  On the mountain our guides were amazing.  Positive, confident, good company and with safety always at the fore front.  They set the pace and made sure as many of our group as possible hit the summit.  Thank you so much to the Silvia, Elis and the team.  Will definitely be using you again

The trip was excellent. We met the owner of Peak Hunters and next time would preferably like to travel with him. You all saved us and our trip and we are forever in your debt. We are already excited to book next years with you guys.

The trip was great, the guide the programme the team everything. Except for 1 thing: the clothes recommended in the list of equipment was too hot for that season i felt like.

Ciao! I just want to thank you for great services. Also the guide Luca Bianco was excellent 10/10. I had a great trek to peak of Gran Paradiso. Best regards, Johan Winther

The guide himself was really nice, as was the Hut. No wifi or cell service there for those who need that ?. We did not take the summit because of worsening weather conditions. So we shall be back later this year for another attempt. Really nothing one can do about the weather anyways...

Due to snow conditions we changed the trip to a ski tour. My second time off piste but Elis was very patient and provided good direction... will definitely be back !

We swapped over to mt Rosa because of weather conditions, wich was really nice too. the only thing of notice might be that you could give a better idea of the extra things that we need to pay eg. the hut or extra equipment. It would just be nice to kinda know how much things will cost before starting.

Andrea was personable and did a good job of getting my daughter to the summit. As far as feedback, he said we didn\'t need helmets. Given the possibility for slips, rocks from above, etc., I think he should always recommend clients use a helmet even when the risk is low. Also felt could have been more accommodating of older climbers (like me at 61) and adjusted the pace accordingly.

Awesome guide, awesome trip. Hope to book Jessy again as a guide for future mountaineering trips!

We are a couple with very short experience in high mountain. Andrea injured his foot and he couldn\'t come with us, but he advised us perfectly and he managed everything in order to climb Gran Paradiso & Breithorn with two very professional guides: Remy and Alessandro. Very happy to contact with him!
