Details - Heli hiking.

• Days 1 & 2: Settle in and warm up
  Switzerland

  Settle in to your charming hotel in Valais, set inside a restored 200 year old building, meet your guides and the next morning you’ll start your three-hour warm-up walk in the village of Chandolin, where you’ll explore the valley to get your bearings. Forest streams and cobbled villages are all part of this picturesque day

• Days 3, 4 & 5: Heli-hiking and history
  Switzerland

  You’ll spend these three days hopping into a helicopter for breathtaking flights over mountains, valleys, glaciers and cliffs, with steep views on all sides. As you land at the flat top of an exposed mountain, peering down three different glaciers, you’ll experience an adrenalin rush you certainly don’t get every day. Don your crampons and explore these glaciers, dramatic ice formations, green-forested valleys and 19th Century mountain routes with your guide. One day, you’ll heli up and climb down on a part of the Haute Route, ending up with a slap-up meal in the village of Arolla.

• Days 6 & 7: Trek into Italy
  Italy

  Cross into Italy on a route which has been in use since the Bronze Age, backpack on your back, to tackle the rugged, 6-hour descent back to civilisation using impressing descents starting at high altitude. For a true mountain experience, you’ll spend one night in an historic mountain refuge overlooking Mont Blanc, where you’ll wake up to the freshest mountain air you’ve ever experienced.

  Back down to earth, relax in Courmayeur’s Roman thermal springs, whirlpools, saunas and Turkish baths, before joining your guides for a fireside aperitif in a local 18th Century bar. Your last meal will be wonderful Italian cuisine in a stone vaulted 14th century stable. Indulge yourself: you’ll deserve it.
