Debit card bookings are processed immediately. You will be sent a receipt by email, as soon as the bank confirms your payment.  FACT SHEET Duration: 7 days walking/6 nights, full board. Supervision: A state-qualified mountain muleteer-instructor. A mule. Security: Not overtaking or allowing yourself to be overtaken by a mule on the downslope side (empty side) but rather on the upslope side is a principle you should adopt as soon as we set off even if there is no immediate danger. Follow the muleteer’s instructions because the animals do weigh half a tonne (unpacked) and measure 170cm at the withers! Group: Up to 12 hikers. Climate: At high altitude, air density is lower than at sea level. UV rays are therefore less filtered and much more damaging. Long, light clothing is more effective than sun creams. Children are much more vulnerable than adults (eyes and skin). The low air density also causes considerable differences in temperature and makes a fleece and waterproof clothing essential items for your backpack. The air is dry and adds to the risk of dehydration. Your hiking equipment General information: Equipment is transported by mule in a waterproof bag which we provide. It must not exceed 7kg (weighed every morning before the mules are packsaddled). You carry in a small backpack everything you need for the day's hiking, including your picnic and sleeping bag (unless your waterproof bag weighs less than 7kg). Tip: bring one or two large bin bags in case you need extra waterproof materials. Head: A broad-rimmed hat, sunglasses, a headband to protect your forehead and ears. Hands: Two pairs of gloves or mittens. Body: A moisture-wicking t-shirt along with a thin fleece and a Gore Tex-type jacket are ideal. Several layers of clothing are better than one big layer, but do not overlay cotton clothing (which retains moisture) with a view to wicking moisture because the cotton will cancel out the function of the other layers... Legs: Hiking trousers or over-clothing and Gore Tex trousers because run-off from your jacket will inevitably run down between your legs. If you don’t have any Gore Tex, bring a poncho and gaiters. Boxer shorts avoid overheating. Feet: Hiking socks absorb impacts better, have better moisture-wicking properties and retain heat better than tennis socks. They also last longer! Two or three pairs will be enough because you can wash them quickly in the shower. Leather or Gore Tex high-cut hiking shoes with semi-rigid Vibram type soles are needed for loose ground, névé (porous ice not yet frozen to form glacier ice) or stony mountain terrain. What you need at night: Earplugs, headlamp, cutlery for picnics. Small toilet bag (125g soap for daily showers for a week and the little clothes washing you need to do). Miscellaneous: Bermuda shorts and long-sleeve clothing are recommended to combat the aggressive mountain sun. Newspaper rolled into a ball absorbs moisture from your mountain shoes during the night. It is then much more pleasant to put them back on in the morning, even if the rain hasn’t stopped! Always bring some. Babywipes are also useful.  On your shoulders General information: Accompanied hike. Stages of 8 to 10km, 800m average altitude change, 7 hours walking max per day (including breaks). Chance to use mechanical lifts or buses every so often for those who want to (on-the-spot supplement payable). In your backpack: Your day things (camera, sun cream, picnic [Take a fork], pullover and rain clothing, water, etc.), your sleeping bag. You can snack on dried fruits, cake and cereal bars every day. Your Technical Equipment To bring: A 35 or 40 litre backpack with broad straps and stomach strap. A pair of (telescopic) walking sticks is recommended. Provided by the guide: A two-man tent – Ground mat – Group supplies – Waterproof bags designed for quick, efficient packsaddling. Personal First Aid Kit You should bring 6cm wide plasters, Compeed, Biafine, Flamazine cream (inflammations), aspirin, Smecta and lip balm along with a few painkillers. Formalities Administrative formalities: National ID card is COMPULSORY (or passport if necessary). Currency: Bring a little cash with you. In Switzerland, Euros are accepted everywhere.  Access By road: The A40 motorway to Chamonix then continue in the direction of Switzerland. You will cross Argentière then 500 meters after, the road of Montroc go on the right. The station is 1 km later on your left. By train: Terminus at the St Gervais-Le Fayet TGV station then Change of train for "Chamonix montroc-Le Planet".
