Self
guided Hiking or Biking
What more dramatic setting can there be for walking,
hiking and biking than the Mont Blanc massif and the
surrounding hills and valleys making up the Alps? From
our base at the Hotel Le Regina in the beautiful spa
town of St Gervais we have put together a stunning series
of walks and rides amongst Europe's highest peaks. These
range from easy to very challenging and each route comes
with a full map, route instructions, timings and a packed
lunch. Some start form the hotel, and others from further
afield – if you don’t bring your own car
we can arrange for transport to the start and back from
the finish. Simply choose a route of the level of difficulty
and location that suits you each day. Mix and match
walking and cycling or stick to your favourite. Have
an action packed week or take it easy…the choice
and flexibility is yours!
Use of the ski lift system for walkers
and mountain bikers alike allows access to the best
views and the ability to cover a good amount of ground
with ease during the week. If you prefer to have a guide
for one or more days we are also happy to arrange this.

Motorcycling
through the mountain passes of France, Italy and Switzerland
The Alps contains some of the most spectacular motorcycling
you can imagine – winding mountain passes, lush
valleys and spectacular climbs culminating in views
of Europe’s highest snow-capped peaks. Combined
with the picturesque towns of the region, the opportunity
to include 3 countries within a 30 minute ride, and
to re-create some classic routes from the film ‘The
Italian Job’ makes this a week to remember.
We have put together a varied itinerary
of routes to suit all-comers. From long days on the
road, to shorter days to include some of the local sights,
you can mix and match the days to suit you.

7 nights hotel, twin or double ensuite rooms.

routes in the Alps. It is in reality a series of paths
