Our local guides are experts in all things related to our destinations. Each guide is medically certified and carries the appropriate qualifications to hike throughout the French Alps. Our guides are here to ensure the group has an authentic experience while ensuring safety is a priority.

This exclusive French Alps adventure was developed in partnership with Backpacker magazine. True wilderness. Epic exploration. Deep backcountry. Cultural immersion. Together, we’ve scoured the earth for hidden gems to explore the trails less traveled, and to be stewards of the lands we travel through and of the trails we take.
