Last update: Wed, Mar 9, 2022 3:43 AM
We stayed mostly in three star hotels, all of which were fine, and some with good food. The only night we didn’t enjoy was at the auberge of La Grande Ourse, in Trient (didn’t open until three so about twenty tired trekkers waiting to check in; no locks on the shared loos; no curtains in our v basic room; budget breakfast). I expect not much choice of accommodation in the local area.
The daily route cards provided were ok, usually easy to follow although we did have a couple of wrong turns. We had to request a couple of replacement cards where the wrong ones had been provided in the first instance. It would have been useful to know in advance about the closures to some of the trails we were to take on the last day, which resulted in some doubling back and guess work.
For all but one of the first five days of our trek we arrived at our accommodation before our luggage had been delivered (a service we’d paid for at additional cost), and in one case we had to sit through supper in our trekking clothes (I felt sorry for those sitting next to us!). I suggested to Mont Blanc Treks they might get in touch with their subcontractor, the taxi firm that moves the luggage, to see if they could encourage them to raise their game, and received a pretty non-customer friendly response, to put it mildly. Perhaps I was being over sensitive but having paid over £4,000 in total for the trip,
I’d expected a better quality of customer service and not to be accused of being totally ignorant of distances involved or, implicitly, of being unfairly over-demanding of their subcontractor. I’ve included the key exchange below for objectivity. Unfortunately despite a fairly lukewarm apology later, once I’d expressed my disappointment at the tone they had taken, this has left a sour taste and we wouldn’t use this agency again.
Hi Sara and Jude
We’ve just arrived in Lavachey, thanks for the revised trek cards.
I thought it worth mentioning that of the five nights we’ve spent on the trail so far, Taxi Bresson has only managed to beat us to the hotel once. Indeed at Refuge des Mottats we had to have dinner in our trekking clothes as apparently an incident had held up our bags. I know the SLA they work to gives them until 6pm to deliver, but it’s a bit of a shame they can’t manage earlier given the cost involved, the fact the guest has to leave them out by 8am and it means a cold beer / local destination exploration has to be done in trekking gear. I wonder if you could have a word and see if they can up their game for the rest of our trip?

Hi Tom
Just a very quick reply as out of office. Glad to hear you are at hotel La Vachey, and are enjoying the trek.
In answer - Taxi BESSON are moving hundreds of bags per day all over the tour du Mont Blanc - not just yours and hence the time frames 8 am through til 6 pm.
The miles involved from one destination to another in parts by road is huge, even though to you walking it may only be 20 km. This is a fact clients are totally ignorant too, hence the cost involved for transporting luggage.
I am glad to hear your bags have arrived on each evening so far albeit late one evening due to an unforeseen incident - of which we apologise for.
I will not be contacting them to ‘ up their game’ Taxi BESSON provide an excellent service to our clients plus many more and are number 1 in this region for luggage transportation. Please do contact them if they fall outside their service standards again and be sure to let us know.
Enjoy the rest of your trekking adventure.
Kind Regards
Jude

Hi Jude
Ok, although I’m disappointed by the tone of your reply.
I’m not totally ignorant of the road distances involved nor did I assume they were only moving our bags. Today, we’re about 25 minutes by road from Courmayeur, hence perhaps some small degree of frustration. I’m certainly glad our bags have arrived each evening too, given that’s what we’ve paid for. Not sure if characterise that in itself as excellent service.
Anyway, enough said on the matter.
Regards
Tom

Organisation, planning, quality of the self guided pack, prompt replies to all our questions was all second to none. We received the detailed self guided pack a few months before our vacation and this meant that we were fully prepared for our adventure.
Good accommodation even in the remote locations and we were very satisfied with the standard, favourites must be Refuge Mottets, Hotel Crampon in Courmayeur. Opted for a bit of luxury with the bag transfer, great service and available every night apart from at the Bonatti refuge (understandable), but the real bonus was having our bags at the Refuge Mottets which was totally not expected!
Thank you to Jude, Sara and MBT for all making it all just perfect for us!

Mont Blanc Treks did a great job notifying the hotels/refuge of my dietary restrictions. That was a relief after a long day of hiking and the (sometimes) language barrier. They were also diligent in returning my emails/questions in advance of the trip.
I would use them again!

I have found them very approachable, they kept me updated during the booking process, this inspires great confidence. You know things will go to plan.
On arrival to the night's accommodation, some places knew my name as soon as I stepped in the door, magical.
The Huts/Hotels I stayed in, were brillant, very welcoming & friendly, perfect for the weary hiker at the days end.
Their route cards are spot on with point to point detail.

*note- there were a few reversed "go right" or "go left" directional instructions towards the end of our 10 day route that could mess someone up. We figured it out without too much drama.
