Amazing trip, probably one of the best of the many I have done with France Outdoors. As usual the organisation was first class, Vincent as always is a brilliant guide and the location absolutely stunning. The hotel was excellent, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the staff extremely helpful. The huts were great and in stunning locations. I would highly recommend this trip, I had an amazing holiday.
