An avid sports enthusiast and inexhaustible hiker, Laurent has hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc close to 100 times. Laurent has been guiding for MT Sobek since 1995, and is a senior guide on our Tour du Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc Express, and Haute Route trips, as well as any other trip we can get him on!

He graduated with a degree in Sport, Tourism & Local Development and qualified as an esteemed Accompagnateur en montagne or International Mountain Leader while living in Southern France.

FAQ

Who will meet me on arrival?

A MT Sobek representative will meet you in the Arrivals Hall at the Geneva airport on Day 1 between 1:30pm and 2pm, and the group will depart for Grindelwald at 2pm.

How does this trip compare to your Tour du Mont Blanc trip?

This trip is designed to be a bit easier than our Tour du Mont Blanc trip. There is less elevation gain and loss, and the days are shorter.

If I want to take a break from hiking, can I skip a day on this trip?

Yes. Because we spend several nights at certain hotels on this trip, you may choose to stay at the hotel and rest, read, or simply enjoy the views.

Can I wear trail shoes/cross training shoes on this trip?

No, we highly recommend hiking boots with ankle support for this trip.

I might need to do some work while on this trip. Is there Wi-Fi at the hotels?

Yes. But we hope you won't have to use it.

What happens if my flights are delayed en route?

We will provide your guide's phone number on the trip's Final Bulletin. Our guides will help you to join the group and arrange transfers if necessary.
