Clarée Valley - Walking Holiday in the French Alps reviews

If you like alpine walking, and have any interest in the flowers, this is the trip for you. The walks are satisfying in their own right, but there is also enough time to find out about and photograph the stunning variety of flowers that you will see. The guide, Antoine, has an encyclopedic knowledge, great enthusiasm and perfect English. The hotel is friendly, with good food. We visited the Claree Valley last October for the autumn colours. The change of season complemented this experience.

The Claree Valley far exceeded my expectations as a walking destination. Every corner we turned revealed another astonishing vista. The autumnal colours were so bright, the trees seemed to glow. The trip covers two valleys and each day begins in a different area. There are walks in the valleys, along the ridges, down through gorges and to high mountain ponds. The paths were well marked, if challenging in places. Our guide Antoine Allier was excellent - enthusiastic and knowledegable.

A beautiful unknown valley. We discovered so many wild flowers - new ones each day. Our guide, Stephanie, was very knowledgeable and friendly, adapting our itinerary due to changeable weather. The hotel was very good - excellent food and friendly staff.
