Do you have to be a great sportsman to take on a guide?

Not at all! There are outings to suit all levels, from flat ‘feel-good’ walks to challenging hikes. The professional always adapts the itinerary to the level of the participants.

What equipment do I need for a supervised outing?

A pair of walking shoes with a good sole, a rucksack with water, sun protection and a windproof jacket. For technical activities (climbing, via ferrata), specific equipment is often provided by the professional.

Where are the meeting points?

Usually in front of the Tourist Office or at the start of the ski lifts. The exact location will be given to you when you make your reservation.

Can I book a private outing?

Yes, most guides and escorts offer private hire, which means you can choose your own itinerary and keep to yourself (family, friends).

The mountains are an open book, you just have to know how to decipher the pages. In Les Gets, our guides are the storytellers and keepers of our region’s secrets.
