Food is a pleasure and experiencing local cuisine is a key element to a wonderful trip.
Alpine destinations such as Chamonix and Zermatt have become renowned for the wide range of restaurants on offer; you’ll find everything from regional cuisine to fine dining, fusion, pizzeria’s, gourmet burgers and take away snacks.
In more remote valleys hotels offer a fixed group menu of starter, main course and dessert, a limited à la carte menu is available in some hotels. Of course allergies and dietary requirements can be catered for.
Mountain huts rely on helicopters for supplies so can only offer a fixed menu of home cooked hearty cuisine nevertheless there is always a good selection of local wine and beers on offer!
On camping trips, we prepare freshly made nutritious dishes with local ingredients and the quality is equivalent to the hotel fixed menu.
Most of our clients fly into Geneva airport. The transfer time to Chamonix is 1 hour 15 mins, usually by private minibus, for Zermatt or the Bernese Oberland it takes approximately 3 hours. In many cases using the train is also an excellent option.
We have our own transport licence and a small fleet of minibuses. We also charter in services from our high quality trusted local transport partner when necessary.
Whenever possible, we try to use local transport such as the train and bus system which are punctual, great value, good quality and, of course, the best option for the environment.
