I love sunrises and sunsets 🌅 but what I really love is the space that I have in between them to do something incredible.

As we have approached 2024 we like to look back at the year we’ve had and reflect on how special it was. You skied, trekked, and climbed your way through the Alps and Atlas mountains. You learnt new skills, made new friends and tackled new challenges. Our team grew from 3 to 5 (and a half) and we increased the selection of trips that we offer here in the Alps. It’s truly been a pleasure. For 2024 we hope we can help many more of you experience what we get to live on a daily basis. In celebration we’ve put together a little video of the year... see if you can spot yourself! PS - Everything you see was filmed on one of our trips. Happy New Year all 🎉 The Adventure Base Team Charlie, Olly, Virginia, Beth & Harriet
Happy Birthday to the coolest of kiwis 🥝 Beth, we know you don’t love the camera but we think the world needs more Beth. Chur…

A bit of Monday motivation 💪Your sign to book that hiking trip you have always dreamt of…. The full Tour du Mont Blanc trek takes you through three different countries, experiencing three different cultures all whilst circumnavigating Western Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc. What’s not to love? #mondaymotivation #hiking #mountainhiking #tourdumontblanc #montblanc #trekkinglovers #mountaintrekker #trekking
Climb Mont Blanc (4808m), the highest peak in Western Europe. It’s an imposing and highly sought-after summit that sits at the roof of the Alps on the border of France and Italy. We have helped hundreds of clients summit Mont Blanc. Our success rate is extremely high largely due to the way we've built the trip, allowing for multiple acclimatisation days. That way we reduce the chances of altitude sickness getting in the way of your big climb. Oh, and just for good measure, we'll even throw in the summit of Gran Paradiso (4061) in Italy at the start of the week. We're just that kind of company...
