Walk Weekend Package
Our great package has been carefully designed to give you maximum time
walking in the mountains and make your short alpine break a relaxing and fun affair.
By providing a large range of self-guide walks we ensure that you find the best routes to suit you, that you know where you're going and what to expect along the way. We'll also accompany you on at least two days of your holiday if you like, to show you the best lunch and photo stops. We try to make it easy and hassle free at all times - after all it's supposed to be a holiday!
Below is the basic package on offer every weekend. For prices and availability please see the prices and availability page.
Thursday evening to Monday evening • 4 full days walking, with just 2 days off work
Thursday
You catch an afternoon or evening flight from the UK to Geneva, we meet you at the airport with our spacious Mercedes Minibuses for the quick transfer. In under an hour we will have you at the Lodge ready to enjoy a late supper and a few drinks in the bar as well as to meet your Chalet Team and talk through the options for the days ahead.
Friday
Walking guides and maps will be waiting for you to study over breakfast so you
know exactly where you're going! If you are joining our hosted walk, we will ensure
that your group and other guests who will be walking with you are happy and ready to go …
then it's onto the mountains with one of the Karibuni team who will enable you to get your
orientation within the resort and lead you to the best views and restaurants.
Meet our minibuses at the end of the day, or you may be able to walk back to the Lodge depending on your chosen route. Afternoon tea will be waiting for you to enjoy with fresh biscuits and cakes. Later, a quick drink in our bar could precede the 3-course dinner with wine, after which why not relax in the lounge?
Saturday
Walk all day using our walking guides and maps, or join our hosted walk to explore some of the hundreds of tracks available in La Clusaz and Grand Bornand. Stop at one of the beautiful traditional buvettes for lunch and take in the fantastic alpine scenery. Afternoon tea will be welcome at the end of a long day and then maybe a pre-dinner drink on the sun terrace watching the sun set over the mountains before enjoying dinner with wine, maybe in the form of a bbq on the terrace if the weather is good.
Sunday
Walk all day exploring the area. After your walk why not visit
the unusual outdoor swimming
pool in La Clusaz with stunning views over the mountains
or if the weather isn't so good you may like to explore the
Maison de Patrimoine in Grand Bornand showing the fascinating
history of farming in the region, or maybe the ski museum
in La Clusaz. Finish your afternoon with a drink in one of
the villages' wood-clad bars after which we will come and
pick you up and have you back in time for dinner.
Monday
Walk all day, or if you prefer why not hire a bike from us for the day and view the mountains from a slightly different perspective. Alternatively visit the bustling market in La Clusaz to buy some local produce to take home with you. Return to the lodge for a quick afternoon tea, then shower and change in your room before we transport you back to Geneva for your evening flights back to the UK.
Throughout the summer and autumn walking season we are open to groups, couples, singles or solos/individuals.
Visit our specials pages for our more unusual walking breaks and any deals that we have during the season, or our photos page to see pictures of past guests who have enjoyed walking with us.
