Have you travelled with Albatross Tours previously?

What was your favourite places on your Albatross tour?

My favourite place would have to be Chamonix, it was so picture perfect. 

What was the most amazing thing you saw or did on your Albatross tour?

The most amazing things I saw... well there were so many! however I would say the Aiguille du Midi at 3,842 metres high it was just breath-taking to see.. just as if you were on top of the world. 

Tell us about your most memorable moment on tour?

Most memorable moment would have to be in Grindelwald. I went up the Mountain First on one of my free days then rode back down on a little 3 wheeler bike, it was amazing and so much fun to do. 

What was your favourite meal on tour?

It would have to be the last night of the tour, little place in Milan called Mamma Rosa, the food was as if a the mamma was in the kitchen cooking for us! It's a little hidden treasure. 

What advice do you have for anyone interested in travelling on this tour?

Well I would say, when travelling up to the Aiguille du Midi there are 2 parts of the mountain I didn't think I would suffer from altitude sickness. However on the top of this amazing mountain there are look out points which have stairs, please take your time as I felt dizzy and sick climbing up to the look out point, but once I rested for 10 minutes I was fine. 

Would you recommend this tour to family and friends? If so, why?
