Adventure Base Opiniones 

Completed the Haute Route with AB last week. Great service before the trip, flawless Logistics throughout and a really, really great guide all contributed to making this the trip of a lifetime.

Completed the iconic haute route, full traverse from Chamonix to zermatt. Great support from the AB team and guide both before and during the expedition to achieve the aim around the weather.

Great trip, excellent guide who responded well to the ability of the group, well organised

Good communication from adventure base from the point of booking to arriving back home
Kit list and levels of training/fitness were in depth and informative
The transport in Morocco was punctual, the accommodation was comfortable and the hosts were friendly, helpful and welcoming
Our trek guide was very knowledgeable and made the ascent a more enjoyable experience
We were well fed and the food was tasty.
The equipment we rented was in good order and at no point did we feel the service was lacking.
Overall a great trek

I had a fantastic experience with Adventure Base. The team was incredibly professional, from the guides to the on-ground staff, who made everything run smoothly. Despite some changes to plans due to weather, they came up with excellent alternatives that added a unique and memorable element to the trip. The accommodation was comfortable, and their warm welcome and great communication made a real difference. Whether you’re after a guided experience or something custom-built, they clearly know how to deliver. Highly recommend Adventure Base for your next mountain adventure – I’m already thinking about my next trip! Four stars only because there’s always room for that little bit extra.

We booked a trip to mt Toubkal in October with my wife through adventure base, from start to finish the hole experience was sweet as!! The hole team took the time from the get go, to answer all our questions before booking the trip, thanks Charlie (great guy), then Beth took over and booked everything for us, the clarity of communication was awesome and made everything easy for us!! Last but not least our guide Hamid, insane knowledge of the mountains and really did his best to make us feel confortable and explained to us the marocain way, very very welcoming and not shy to answer any questions you may have!!! The full experience was brilliant I would greatly recommend adventure base, we already booked a trip in Italy for 2025 🚀🚀🚀

Just come back from a trip to Mera Peak, Nepal, which is no longer on their website (so I guess discontinued).

Good points:
1) They got us up the mountain (and down again).
2) Gave me an NHS Blue Light discount.
3) We got to Lukla Airport and the planes were flying, yet our guide put us on a helicopter instead (despite us having plane tickets and querying this). We were given a hefty bill. However, Adventure Base very kindly agreed to take the hit on this and pay our helicopter flights, and said that we should not have been put in that position.

Not so good:
1) Expensive Company: I’ve traveled a lot and these charge a lot more than others for similar. About £1,500 more.
2) We came into problems whilst away and needed to talk to Adventure Base. One of them eventually got in touch but then disappeared. We ended up meeting with local guides on our holiday to sort things out ourselves. Adventure Base should have been much more on hand to help, and this left our group quite stressed.
3) I felt we were mis-sold some things: the high price we paid was said to include tips for porters, however, were told by local Adventure Base guide to tip again. Also, their brochure said that the flights were from Kathmandu (where we were staying), not from another airport a night’s drive away. I don’t think this was deliberate, and I get that things can change’ but nothing was communicated.
4) Much slower than other companies with email and WhatsApp communication.

Once we got back, we reached an agreement/compromise and I am glad we have reached an amicable close.

Summary:
An average travel company that can book things for you, and it’s all OK unless something goes wrong.
Probably not geared up for travel too far from where they are based, but I’ve heard good things about their more local trips (e.g. Mont Blanc). However, based on my experience, it is unlikely that I would use them again.

Absolutely fantastic experience with these guys, whilst we could not summit Mont Blanc due to poor conditions, additional exciting activities were provided, from the guides to the chalet staff, friendly, welcoming and fun, I would thoroughly recommend.

We are in our late 60s. Adventure base custom built a TMB trek so we could do 6 to 8 miles per day over 14 days. Resting on days 5-6 in Courmayeur. Private rooms now and then to off set the bunk beds and barracks. Even in two hotels the dinner and breakfast were already paid just like the Refuges. The self-guided trek allowed us to do a test day when we arrived (Montenvers balcony) just to get ourselves acclimated and our climbing gear tested out. It was such a joy to meet other people on the way and to have the freedom to call our days and pace the way we wanted. The staff were present to provide assistance upon arrival, and during the trek by message to let a refuge know if we’d be late. The integration of Strava off line 3Dmap allowed us to see where we were even in the weeds. We highly recommend this company for the self-guided TMB. We look forward to using them again. Next, on to explore the Dolomites.

Beth, Harriet and Charlie at Adventure Base created a custom Tour du Mont Blanc for my group of 8 senior friends. They provided the logistics to work around the UTMB and the end of the season (August 29-September 12). Our trip and daily hikes were fantastic! They arranged rest days for us to occur every 2 to 3 days where we could enjoy the culture of France, Italy, and Switzerland in turn as we hiked around the massif. I highly recommend this very skilled company, especially if you want some customization in a Mont Blanc trek.

Charlie, Olly, and Beth….thank you for arranging an incredible journey through the Alps. We trekked every step of the 121 mile trail through sun, rain, sleet (not really), and snow (really) and loved every minute of it. The arrangements were great or at least comfortable, the refuge staffs were friendly, and the soup was hot. Our fellow hikers were great and we made some friends on the trail. Adventure Base was great, we made a lot of last minute changes which you happily accommodated, you checked in on us during the trip. We really felt like you cared. This was a once in a lifetime experience. I am glad we chose Adventure Base!

Had a great experience with Adventure Base
The guides Jon, Nacho and Farran were outstanding and very professional.
Thank you to the on-ground team of Beth, Olly, Lucy and Calvin for making my Chamonix stay run so smoothly

Highly recommend Adventure Base for any future mountain challenges

From our guides to our catering staff everything was spot on. The chalet is in a great location directly in the centre of chamonix not to far from the pedestrianised street. A warm welcome and great communication was presented by each member of the adventure base team. I even managed to meet Beth from the office as I was coming off Arête des Cosmiques. If you're up for a challenge and you want to try something you've never done before I would definitely recommend it but I must warn you, you may go home wanting more . Thank you for everything it's been a blast

Adventure Base made our adventure not only possible but flawless! Our TMB itinerary was on target with nightly reservations and luggage drop offs daily on time. Beth was so personable and made her accessible to any questions we had. Don’t hesitate to plan your tour de Mont Blanc with AB! We highly recommend the process from start to the finish line!!

I recently went on an Adventure Base Gran Paradiso & Mont Blanc trip. Our Guide, Miha, was absolutely amazing and gave us an incredible week in the mountains even if we weren’t able to summit MB. His experience, expertise, warm nature, and genuine care to support us was incredible and I’d love to climb with him again in the future. We managed to summit Gran Paradsio but due to poor weather and rockfall conditions in the colouir, we didn’t attempt a summit of MB. Instead we spent the rest of the week doing a technical ridge one day, Allalinhorn in Switzerland another, and indoor climbing the last morning as the rain was really coming down. Given the situation, Miha did his very best to accommodate an alternative itinerary and we all really appreciate the efforts he put in.

The Base Camp experience was a little bizarre with 1 dinner and two breakfasts provided. The fridge was kept completely full for these few meals and so it was difficult to source and keep our own goods for our own meals during the week, we were also forbidden from using the stock! This necessitated the need to eat out for every evening meal which made the trip a little more expensive than I was initially hoping. Further, because we didn’t attempt Mont Blanc we spent a lot more time in the apartment than we expected and this compounded this issue further - it was generally impossible to do anything ourselves in the apartment apart from simple breakfasts - toast and cereal etc.

It was only during the trip that it became apparent that summiting MB during July and August is becoming increasingly unlikely due to the changing climate in Chamonix and how unstable the colouir is during these months. It would have been nice if Adventure Base made this more clear during the booking process and gave stats on summit success rates during each month. If you are going to book, as far as I understand, the best chance of summiting is in early June, or September.

In summary, the on mountain experience was amazing but I felt that we payed quite a high premium for access to the base camp apartment but didn’t get much value out of it.

I participated in Adventure Base's 11-day, guided version of the Tour de Mont Blanc. Overall, the experience was extremely memorable thanks to the good weather and our fantastic guide, Sole. She did a wonderful job of encouraging everyone through the trek and adapting the pace of each day to fit the group's mood. She also shared many interesting stories and facts about the area, including the best places to find yummy food! With respect to the tour itself, I appreciated the diversity of the routes and the different types of accommodations we stayed in as these two things made each day fresh and exciting. The only negative aspects were (a) I wasn't made aware of some additional costs beforehand (e.g., lunch and transport fees); and (b) it didn't seem like Adventure Base thoroughly screened group members with respect to their fitness for the trek (though I understand that is a difficult thing to do on paper). The latter point put a bit of damper on the trip when some people had to drop out. For this reason, I rated my experience with Adventure Base a 4 out of 5.

There aren’t really enough superlatives for this trip. The scenery is gorgeous, the climbing is tough and exhilarating, choice of refugi and hotels/hostels spot on. Fellow hikers were a great bunch and the star was really Marta, our smart, kind and fun guide. 6/5 from me and I’m coming back for more!

Great hosts (Calvin & Lucy) and centralised accommodation in Chamonix.
Very experienced and knowledgeable guides (Fabio and Tom) who made me feel safe at all times.
My only complaint is the established deviations from the itinerary which led to unexpected events and misunderstandings; this could be avoided by providing an up-to-date itinerary.

What an amazing experience with Adventure Base. We were welcomed at the base camp apartment by Calvin and Lucy who looked after us while in Chamonix. The food was amazing and they were so helpful!

We climbed Gran Paradiso in the first part of the week with our excellent guide Lars. He had a wealth of knowledge and helped us reach the summit with some amazing weather! After a days rest, we then started the ascent of Mont Blanc. We were then joined by a second guide Mikel who again was very experienced and aided us in reaching the summit. He had our safety as paramount at all times and was always on hand to answer our questions. The summit experience is something that I will never forget and our guides Lars and Mikel did everything they could to get us there so thank you!

After speaking to others in the mountain huts, it’s clear to see that Adventure base has thought a lot about the trip itinerary and has fine tuned it to give you the best chance of summit success on Mont Blanc.

I will never forget the experience and I am really happy that I booked with adventure base, thank you!

Great company, great guides. Very well organised and laid out trip where we bagged not just one summit (Mont Blanc) but two in the same week with Gran Paradiso as well! Good job all around.
