Description
Would you like to join a unique hut-to-hut guided hiking tour in the Aiguilles Rouges? Then join local IML certified hiking guide, François, on this amazing 5-day program that will allow you to enjoy some of the most beautiful spots in the region.
François knows the area like the palm of his hand, not only was he born and raised there, his family settled in the region over 500 years ago! Therefore, he is the ideal guide for this tour as he will not only be able to take you to the best places in the Aiguilles Rouges Natural Reserve and its surroundings, but he will also be able to share all of his knowledge about the region too!
Additionally, this tour is a great option for those with less hut-to-hut hiking experience that want to try this type of adventure and put themselves to test in an awe-inspiring natural environment. However, you should not underestimate its intensity. You will need a good fitness level in order to tackle an average of more or less 1000m of positive and negative elevation gain in a day. Furthermore, although this tour takes place for the most part on “classic” type trails, there are a few passages that you may find a bit technical depending on your mountaineering experience.
On the way, you will enjoy catching sight of Ibex, beautiful mountain lakes, of the Bossons glacier, the gorgeous Valley of Bérard, the Mont Blanc massif, and of other unique mountains with rock formations. You can find an outline of the itinerary below.
Also, keep in mind that reaching Lac Blanc is often difficult before July due to the large quantities of snow. Consequently, the best time to plan your trip is from mid-July to mid-September. If you wish to plan a family adventure, we can organize a shorter Aiguilles Rouge program that is suited to the whole family.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides

Rachel
We had a great time bouldering with Léo who was really enthusiastic and encouraging, and who selected a good range of boulders to suit our different strengths whilst still being challenging. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to get introduced to outdoor bouldering at Fontainebleau.
Ruth
Willy was a brilliant instructor and guide. He took us on the Pont a Lesse beginners via ferrata, then onto a slightly harder section, and finally a short top-roped climb. We climbed with our 10 and 12 year olds and he was brilliant and making sure they followed all the safety rules, gave them good advice and on a particularly tricky vertical section, used a top rope for extra security. He was really encouraging and great company. He communicated well beforehand and his English was excellent. He also used to be a photographer before he became a climbing instructor, and he took some fabulous photos which he shared with us afterwards. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend going on a trip with him.
Denis
Willy est un très bon guide. Il nous a conseillé une via ferrata plus compliquée et mieux adaptée à notre niveau avant le départ, ce qui était bien vu de sa part. Il nous a guidé sans nous tenir par la main afin de nous laisser notre autonomie et a prit plein de photos de notre ascension.
Oak
Ivan was aan excellent guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, very friendly and approachable. He tailored the day to our experience and gave us loads of great tips to increase our enjoyment and improve our skills. I would highly recommend a day's bouldering with Ivan.
