£200 Competition winner – Adventure Travel Show London

ø;

The Adventure Travel Show in London was a brilliant opportunity to meet many of you and to help some of you think about your next adventure.

We have been really busy since the show steadily working through the ideas we discussed with you. One thing we have taken on board since talking to many of you at the show was that you wanted to go to Nepal, but only had limited annual leave. We’ve therefore introduced a 2-week Everest Base Camp trip, and a 2-week Annapurna Base Camp (Annapurna Sanctuary) trip.

Also, many of you were interested in the Alta Via 1 in the simply divine Italian Dolomites. This is a sublime trek, and is very adaptable in length. Tell us how many days you have and we’ll put an itinerary together for you.

If we haven’t contacted you yet, and you’re impatient to find out an itinerary or price, please do get in touch.

Ann has also just been on a flying visit to Slovenia to look at putting together new trips there. We’re looking at hut-to-hut treks in the Julian Alps / Triglav area and family multi-activity holidays. Slovenia also lends itself to a quick getaway for those of you who just have a long weekend or a week to enjoy the mountains. Let us know if there is anything in particular you would like us to organise for you…

One thing that we pride ourselves on here at trekMountains is the number of clients who come back for further treks with us. Check out the reviews from our clients here.

We’d love to offer a prize to everyone, but sadly that isn’t possible. However, if you weren’t the lucky winner, don’t worry – whilst many of our trips are tailor made, but our prices are competitive with the big providers.

Congratulations to the winner of our competition – Sarah Turpin – you have won £200 off a trek to be taken in 2017 or 2018 when you book with a friend, family or group of friends. we are looking forward to planning the trek you are dreaming of for you.

Dolomites Alta Via 1 self-guided trekker seeks companions

We have spaces for companion trekkers to join a guaranteed Alta Via 1 departure 7-21 September 2017. This will be a slightly slowed-down full AV1 trek. The standard AV1 trek in the spectacular Italian Dolomites is outlined here. If you would prefer not to trek on your own, this could be just the trek for you. Contact us for further details.

Beat currency costs

**NEW** It is now possible to pay us in either € Euros or UK £ Sterling.
Also, for treks to East Africa and the Himalaya, it is now also possible to pay us in US $ Dollars.

As so many of our clients are from all over the world, we decided to make it possible to offer the chance of payment in currencies other than UK Sterling if you would prefer to do so.

Many of our clients now use transferwise.com as an easy, fast and transparent way to transfer money in foreign currency without incurring bank charges.

Please let us know if you would prefer to be quoted in Euros, Sterling or US Dollars.

Kendal Mountain Festival … £200 competition winner is…

ø;

Once again it was absolutely fantastic to see so many of you at the Basecamp of Kendal Mountain Festival. It is always great to see friends and clients who have trekked with us before who call back to tell us how much they enjoyed the trip. Check out the reviews from our clients here.

We can’t offer a prize to everyone, but if you weren’t the lucky winner, don’t worry – whilst many of our trips are tailor made, but our prices are competitive with the big providers.

Congratulations to the winner of our competition – Rob Tipping – you have won £200 off a trek to be taken in 2016 or 2017 when you book with a friend, family or group of friends. I’m looking forward to planning your trek for you.
