Walking Clubs & Groups

walking club trips to the Aravis Our experience of working with hiking clubs and walking groups in the UK and French Alps means we can offer excellent walking group weekends that are convenient, comprehensive and good value for your walking club. The comfortable Aravis Lodge is ideal for accommodating walking groups or associations - with the right mix of privacy offered by our twin, double or family ensuite bedrooms yet with socialising areas provided by our well stocked bar, comfortable sunny lounge and spacious dining room.

Everything about our resort, accommodation and service suits clubs who want a short walking trip away - allowing you to maximise your time with your friends, share some unique experiences, socialise, relax and make the most of the Aravis mountains and great facilities at our Lodge. All for a very reasonable price!

We can provide detailed walking route cards and maps so you can plan your walks with the utmost confidence. If you would like we can also offer your club guided mountain walks as a group. Our flexible weekend approach means we can organise some overnight trips too, walking to and staying at a refuge high in the mountains or camping in the wilderness at the head of a valley.

Groups often like to partake in different activities through the course of their weekend. If your group may be interested in climbing, via ferrata, kayaking, high ropes course, mountain biking or any other mountain activities just let us know and we can arrange these for you and build them into your overall package. We can either arrange activities for all of your group or perhaps it will be just a few people wishing to do something different - but with our flexible approach this can easily be managed and still maximise your walking time.

As an example of the "extras" that we are able to offer groups - you could choose to spend a memorable evening eating, drinking and dancing at a mountain restaurant high above La Clusaz whilst you are here. Whether this be to celebrate an event such as a big birthday or just to socialize with your group we can arrange this, or please contact us to explore our full range of suitable excursions and events for you.

If your walking group would like to take part in an alpine walking challenge or group event, either for fundraising purposes for charity or for personal satisfaction, just let us know and we can discuss options to suit your requirements. Please visit our Challenges page to see our three main walking challenges - including the infamous Belier of La Clusaz

We pride ourselves on the service we offer our guests, ensuring that groups are fully supported in every way possible. We are very flexible in our outlook so although we specialise in weekend packages as standard we are able to accommodate your walking group for as long as you like - if you would like to stick to the traditional week long format then that's fine too and we have more than enough walks for 7 days! Please contact us to discuss your group requirements - we're sure to be able to help!
