Follow on Google News | New offering from On Foot Holidays – Spend a day spotting wild flowers during a French Alps tripBrand-new for 2013, walking specialist On Foot Holidays is offering clients on its Chamonix and the French Alps trip an exciting new extra: the chance to spend an ‘Alpine Flora Day’ seeking out unusual and beautiful wild flowers.
By: Travel PR On Foot’s toughest summer walk, ‘Chamonix and the French Alps’ presents a different, less well-known side of the ever-popular skiing area around Mont Blanc. Taking in glaciers, gorges, torrents and the Bionnassay summer suspension bridge, the route starts in cowbell-tinkling meadows and Belle Epoque towns, before climbing up to join the Tour de Mont Blanc on the Roman legions' original route, and then a final (optional) day climbing up to 3,840m via cable-car, and walking along the incredibly scenic Grand Balcon Nord, before a cog-railway return. The route’s small hotels, chalets and chambres d’hôte have been chosen for their excellent Savoyard cuisine and fine wines, and are intended to provide the reward of comfort and near-gluttony at the end of demanding days on your feet. The final two nights’ accommodation are at Chamonix’s Hotel l’Aiguille du Midi, which boasts a welcome pool. ‘Chamonix and the French Alps’ costs from £985 pp (two sharing), including six nights’ full-board accommodation (picnics and dinners), a night’s B&B, luggage transfers between hotels and all route information. The Alpine Flora Day walks costs an additional £50 pp (two sharing), or £34 pp for a half-day, and can be fitted in at any time subject to weather and Lizzy’s availability. Flights and transfers are extra.
