Six peaks in six days in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland
Bernese Oberland Haute Route - West
Six days, six peaks. A hike across the Western Bernese Oberland Haute Route, Switzerland. The train journey Geneva to Aigle was straightforward enough but how to get to the small halt that was Plan Morier? However, having met Howard and Cliff at Aigle station, identifiable to each other by our bright red KE kit bags, we worked out the dilemma together. Listening to their trekking tales, I knew our trip across the Bernese Oberland was going to be extraordinary. As the team assembled at the Mon Séjour Guesthouse I realised I’d brought the wrong boots, but our guide Kathy solved the problem by plucking a pair of crampons that would fit from her big bag of spare kit for wallies. The pizza was exceptional and most of us enjoyed our first and last shower of the week. Under Kathy’s keen eye, we edited down our kit to portable proportions, and saw for the first time Simon’s dark blue underpants as he packed and re-packed his bag. From the top cable car station on the Sex Rouge (2,940m) we embarked on our first test on the glacier, which we failed spectacularly, tumbling down a snow slope in disarray, with Simon and Kathy anchoring the rope at the top and me, nearly dragged over trying to photograph the mostly prone trekkers below. But with Kathy’s instruction, we mastered a safe and steady routine and were soon abreast our first summit, Diablerets at 3,209m, gaping at the expansive view of the Matterhorn all the way round to Mont Blanc. Our world contracted however when we saw the sleeping accommodation at the Cabane de Prarochet, where we would lie shoulder-to-shoulder on a large shelf. But as mountain huts go it wasn’t bad, and copious amounts of soup, cooked ham, rice and courgettes made up for first impressions, until we discovered the price of a bottle of water at 11 Euros. The second summit was Arpelistock at 3,035m, reached by plodding slowly up a steep and slippery shale ridge, eating our sandwiches at the top as the reward. What was more difficult was the rocky and long descent into the Furggetali Valley, made bearable by the beautiful waterfalls and, once in sight, the inviting red umbrellas of the Gelten Hut. Cold beer and hot water, in that order. Simon and I sunbathed feet up in deckchairs on the terrace, the only minor disturbance to this alpine paradise being an enthusiastic Swiss builder, pipe in mouth, digging foundations for an extension by driving a mechanical jump hammer. ‘Poles away, ice axes out, harness and crampons on,’ Kathy announced as we reached the edge of the Gelten Glacier after a long climb back up the valley to a point above the large waterfall. Roped up in a single line, we set off at an unrelenting pace up and across the deeply rippled surface of the ice. It was an effort to maintain our footing as well as keep the rope between us at the right tension; not so loose that we trod on it but not so tight that we dragged each other along. As the slope steepened, Kathy cut steps with her axe and we made our way up to a rocky ridge and eventually onto the exposed summit of Geltenhorn at 3,065m. While we huddled together for safety, Kathy nimbly pirouetted on the narrow ridge, photographing us, ignoring the steep drops on both sides. It was a long way across the glacier past the Col du Brochet and then a further descent of a rock-strewn slope into the Grand Gouilles Valley. Contemplating Kathy’s suggestion to call in a second guide to help us with the following day’s challenge, Sarah centred in on the key criterion; ‘Will he be good looking?’ Such frivolity was soon forgotten though as we zig-zagged our way slowly up the steep mountainside to the Col des Audannes. Sapped by the climb we arrived at the fixed (a relative term) ropes and ladders. When you think ‘Swiss’, what comes to mind are precision watches, efficient knifes, and trains that run exactly to time. So to clamber up a frayed rope (all of us heaving on it with Judith swinging like a pendulum at the end), then traverse a cliff face gripping wire that was definitely not firmly fixed to the rock was a scary surprise. After a series of ladders, the col behind us, it was long hike over the honey-brown dolomites, Judith explaining the complex geology on the way, to the shiny new Cabane des Audannes. The sleeping accommodation here was arranged as cosy compartments, which were peacefully quiet once Kathy had traumatised the children next door to silence. The carnivores amongst us enjoyed the big chunks of meat for dinner, whilst Judith had to make do with an egg on a pile of palanta, and four bowls of soup. 5am. It was tense at breakfast as we contemplated the big day ahead, at the same time trying to digest bread and jam, and drink copious amounts of tea when all you really wanted to do was go back to sleep. Hard work followed: a steep ascent to the Col des Eaux Froides (2,640m). An hour of scrambling across limestone slabs like giant paving stones. The steady plod up the glacier, Kathy maintaining the same pace whatever the gradient. This was all quite taxing but what really pushed up the heart rate was the traverse across the rocky ridge to the Wildhorn summit at 3,247m. The reward was the most amazing panorama – we just sat for a few moments to take it in, munching on Simon’s elderflower flavoured chocolate. ‘We’ll go down a different way,’ Kathy said, pointing along the ridge. Simon and I exchanged worried glances, unable to see any descent that looked humanly possible in that direction. Heart rate up again. But Kathy expertly guided our descent, anchoring the rope at the top, and we were soon stomping through the ‘Valley of the Rocks’, across snow patches and a boulder-strewn landscape. At the foot of the valley was Lake Tenchet, where Simon’s dark blue underpants reappeared as he led a swimming party in the glacial waters. Unsurprisingly, it was insanely cold but oddly invigorating, or perhaps that was just the effect of the underpants. After a pleasant hike along the Plan des Roses valley, the big day ended with a big ascent; a 400m climb up to the Wildstrubel Hut, tantalisingly perched on a promontory just below the secret but blindingly obvious Swiss Army camp. Simon charged up the final, steepest section in a record 26 minutes. Nick, with his long stride and strong pedal-pushing legs, wasn’t far behind. But most memorable was the strong finish by Howard, drawn almost to sprint the last few metres by a half litre of cold beer. We cleaned out the hut of cake so that they had to bake more. Then Sarah cleaned us out playing cards. That night on the 4 up/4 down shelf-beds, no one cared about the not-quite synchronised snoring; totally knackered, everyone slept deeply. Distances on the Glacier de la Plaine Morte (Plain of Death) are deceptive and it took over an hour at a constant pace to cross the vast 4km expanse of ice. At times it literally felt like ‘walking on thin ice’. As Nick and I conversed about cycling tours, I fell knee deep into a crevasse, for once glad I was safely clipped onto the rope. It was the first but not the last time I fell that day. Two summits followed: a steep climb up to the Wildstrubel at 3,242m, where Simon and I staged a video shoot, followed by a stomp down, across and up the Wildstrubel Glacier (which turned out to be more difficult than it looked) to the Mittlerer Gipfel, also at 3,242m. This, our sixth and last summit, was made memorable by a half-naked German appearing in all our team photos. Descending the far side of the Wildstrubel Glacier was at the same time exhilarating and frightening, with Judith bravely picking out the way, closely followed by Clive whose confident tread showed us he’d done this before. When we reached the moraine, I summersaulted out of sheer joy – in reality, I’d lost my footing and rolled to avoid spraining an ankle, Howard mistaking it for an SAS manoeuvre – if only! The red shutters of the Lammeren Hut were a much needed psychological boost that helped us finish the journey. Simon and I swam in the snow-encrusted lake and had to don fleeces and woolly hats to warm up again afterwards. Howard apparently spotted a marmot popping out of its hole playing a flute, but he had been drinking beers since we’d arrived. Double helpings of potatoes for dinner completed a perfect day. Without any summits left to conquer, the last day’s challenge as we descended from the mountain heights became one of eating: apricot tart at Schwarenbach, ice cream at Sunnbüel, and rösti (roast potatoes and bacon) in pretty Kandersteg, with the promise of more at dinner to replenish all those calories burnt on the way. And to enjoy the friendships forged as we slogged and sweated together crossing the glaciers and climbing the peaks of the Swiss Oberland. Peter Curran. July, 2013

A very good walking holiday
Viva Gran Canaria

We enjoyed all the walks, although the last half day walk was a bit of an anti-climax after what had gone before. The hotels were fine, although it would have been nicer to be in smaller hotels. We were very impressed with the island and would certainly consider going back.

Not as good as we hoped
Aconcagua Ascent
First of all from the administration side the trip was as other KE trips we did - great. Sometimes things were late or on 'Argentinian' time, which is expected, especially in South America, but... ... climbing a whimsical mountain, such as Aconcagua, requires more than good organization and blindly following the plan: it also requires a good group and committed guides - guides who make the best to help us realize our dream and I'm sorry to say, we were let down in this respect. If you are fit an d lucky i.e. the weather window overlap with the trip plan, you will make it, but we were challenged by the weather - we spent a few days in Plaza de Mulas in perfect weather, we did an acclimatization walk and passed medical examinations when we found out that according to the weather forecast in 4 days time the weather changes. What do you do? According to the guides: you follow the plan, as 'the weather forecast might be wrong', so... they were completely ignored. And the weather did change and we didn't even have a shot at the summit... Another area where our guides let us know is safety. Due to weather conditions we had to come down from camp II - at this point three people were feeling bad - and we were going down with just one guide who had serious problem with eyesight - we made it helping each other. Other hints: * Think ahead about breakfasts, as above Plaza de Mulas the choice is very poor - most people had just a few biscuits for breakfast... * Take some money for porters. We didn't fancy carrying 4kg of food each, so we sent it straight to camp II. * Do not take GBP!

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review and we are sorry that you were unable to summit Aconcagua due to the storm. Although any climb can be affected by bad weather, the storm during your trip was unusually intense, even leading to the closure of the main road between Chile and Argentina! Careful acclimatisation is the key to climbing extreme high altitude peaks such as Aconcagua and accelerating the programme can have very serious consequences to health, so this was not an option. We have contingency days which allow for periods of bad weather but unfortunately during your trip, the forecast storm was of such an intensity that the park rangers ordered all groups to descend to base camp. On your descent from Camp II you were accompanied by an experienced IFMGA qualified high mountain guide and later joined by an experienced and qualified KE staff member. The two other guides remained at Camp II taking down the camp in very challenging conditions before they were able to descend and re-join the group. We like your tips for prospective Aconcagua climbers which are very useful. Before leaving base camp (Plaza de Mulas) group members prepare their own bag of breakfast supplies from cereal, porridge, biscuits, dried milk and a variety of teas, and coffee. Also, although we provide porters to carry the group equipment it is possible to hire more porters to carry personal equipment.

An amasing trip exploring urban and rural sites of Northern Vietnam & Cambodia
North Vietnam and the Temples of Angkor
This was a great trip that was well paced and included a fantastic mix of tourist sites and physical activities. It was amasing to absorb the bustling character of the old quarter in Hanoi and eat the great street food. The cycling and sampan boat trips in Tam Coc were a great way to explore this area. The overnight cruise around Halong Bay with its stunning scenery was fantastic. We had our own boat that was very comfortable and ate some lovely seafood, and even got to canoe and swim. The templ es around Siem Reap were awesome and a couple of short treks to stone carvings were nice way to see more of rural Cambodia. But my highlight ..... was the 4 days trekking and the homestays in North Vietnam. It was fantastic to see the rural way of life that was mainly based around farming and working the paddy fields. The homestays were basic but more than comfortable and we were welcomed in each one by the families. Our leaders were great with lots of knowledgeable, enthusiastic and spoke English very well. The support and information from the office whilst booking was excellent.

Amazing Trip
Everest Base Camp Trek

After doing a lot of research into companies that provided treks to Everest Base Camp we eventually chose KE Adventure as it offered exactly what we were looking for in terms of services provided. The clincher was the fact that, whilst not the cheapest on the market, it did include all food and refreshments for the duration of the whole trip and not just the trek itself. In retrospect this was a great decision as it made it a lot easier for our guides but also saved us a lot of hassle that wo uld have been involved in paying separately, sorting out bills, tipping etc. All this was dealt with by our excellent guides Bala and Tschiring. These guys were absolutely brilliant and could not do enough to ensure our trek was as comfortable, easy and enjoyable as possible. I could go on but suffice to say if you could find better guides than these guys I'd be very surprised. In terms of costs the whole trip was great value. The hotel we used in Kathmandu (The Yak and Yeti) was top quality and in a great location. We had a half day (which actually lasted 5 hours) tour of Kathmandu included and all transfers from and to the airport even though we had booked our own flights. We were on the same flights as another couple of people on the trek though they had booked flights via KE Adventure. Chatting to them it seemed as though they had got the flights cheaper than us so I'd advise you to check out this option and not, as I did , automatically assume you could get them cheaper. The trek itself was well paced and arrangements were sensibly flexible. As our group had acclimatised well we were able to reach Base Camp a day early and consequently have a more relaxed and enjoyable descent. We descended a slightly different way to the ascent which added to the variety of scenery. The section from Pherice to Phortse (done on the descent) was stunning. Facilities on the trek were good and accommodation variable. Conditions got more challenging the higher you went but that was part of the enjoyment. All in all an amazing trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering Everest Base Camp.

Everything good except the hired skis
Inside the Arctic Circle - Skiing the Kings Trail
Through KE we hired Nordic ski equipment from Abisko station. On the first training day we were not happy with our skis but were told it was our incompetence. On the second day we set off on our six day tour. During the tour we became aware that our hire skis and those hired by the american couple did not perform as well as the personal skis brought by other clients. The hire skis allowed an ascent of an 8% slope only, those with personal gear could ascend up to 25% The hire skis "balled up" wit h sticky snow on day 3 the personal skis did not. Hire skis would not hold an edge when traversing a steep slope or when snowploughing On day 6 on icy snow the hire skis were uncontrollable, for some on the day we took them off and walked, those on personal skis had much fewer problems. At one point Carole swapped skis with one of our guides. Immediately the found she "could ski again". The hire skis being very poor in comparison with the guides. During the tour we were able to compare our skis with those who had their own THE HIRE SKIS HAD BLUNT STEEL EDGES THE HIRE SKIS HAD WORN DOWN FISH SCALES THE HIRE SKIS GLIDING BASE WAS OLD AND SCRATCHED It is a disgrace the STF is hiring out old worn out equipment to clients doing this serious ski tour. We had level 1 serious weather alerts for 4 of the six days we were out, your skis gave us a hard time. We understand the american couple, Tom and Lori will be in touch with you eventually with the same concerns. I welcome your comments on this. PLEASE TREAT THIS AS A SERIOUS COMPLAINT. More than that I would welcome a statement that Abisko Station had updated it's skis to state of the art and that they were maintained to professional standards. So that others are not so affected. Rick Newcombe, Carole Becker.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you had some problems skiing during your holiday. We have never previously received a complaint about the hire skis from Abisko. The Abisko Mountain Station is the Swedish Tourist Association's 'centre of excellence' for cross country skiing. It has a very strict policy on the maintenance of its hire equipment. All skis are inspected and waxed after every use and no skis are older than 3 years, with the majority between 0 and 2 years old. Following your complaint our agent in Sweden has inspected the skis at Abisko and we have set up a new monitor alert to notify us of any complaints from other users of their equipment. Thank you once again for bringing this matter to our attention. Feedback such as yours is invaluable in ensuring that the service we offer to our clients is the best it can be. We hope that this issue, together with the very challenging weather you encountered, has not deterred you from future cross-country ski trips.

A great trip with excellent leaders
Northern Lights Snowshoe Safari
This was a great trip and it met all my expectations. I wanted to combine dogsledding and seeing the Northern Lights and we did both. The snowshoeing was a new experience as well and this was very good. There were 14 in our group plus 2 leaders, Sara and Johanna. They told us everything we needed to know and were very helpful. You need to be prepared to muck in at the mountain hut as you take it in turns to do all the chores. Two tips for others: (1) practise taking pictures of the night sky bef orehand with your camera. I could not find the right setting and wasted a lot of time when the Northern Lights were visible; (2) the kit list should mention that sun cream should not be water-based as this will freeze on the face! Binoculars can come in handy to spot the wildlife as well.

Remarkable adventure even for those with limited ski experience.
Inside the Arctic Circle - Skiing the Kings Trail
I have been a skier for decades. Living in USA (Colorado) I ski quite a bit--alpine, alpine touring, skate skiing, and classic touring. I have done week long trips at backcountry huts in British Columbia and had wild descents off of mountains. But I have never had any experience on skis similar to the tour of Kungsleden (King's trail) I recently finished with KE Adventures. I had never before skied in a high arctic landscape--wild, mostly above treeline, north of the Arctic Circle, with temp eratures moderated somewhat by the Gulf Stream. I had never done a ski trip with dog team support--carrying roughly half our gear, keeping our packs to a reasonable weight (7kg plus or minus). I had never done a ski trip where while at the huts (actually "huts" were groups of buildings, with bunks, kitchens) I went to a sauna followed by rolling in the snow. I had never had a ski trip where the Northern Lights appeared and put on a helluva show one night. Add to that one very competent guide, delightful and witty traveling companions, two of the most charming dog team drivers imaginable, sled dogs so appealing you wanted to stick one (or two) in your checked bags, and you have the makings of a truly magical trip. If you can snowplow on skis, and are reasonably fit, DO NOT MISS THIS TRIP. It is that amazing.

Beautiful scenery, spend some extra time before and after.
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek
When combined with the Wadi Rum extension and a little time before in Amman this makes a pretty comprehensive Jordan holiday. I spent a couple days in Amman before since the itinerary didn't include that and found that it was worth it. Arriving in Madaba to explore that area before the main group arrived was also a bonus. The Wadi Rum extension was fantastic and floating in the dead sea was a fantastic experience. As far as the walking goes the days were a little longer than I expected but m anageable. Some walking up rocky dry river beds can be challenging on the ankles! There are a few spots that require careful steps due to exposure but noting serious. Overall a good holiday, I went in early March but if I were to do it again I might choose late march or early April as some of the nights were too cold to sleep outside or enjoy sitting around the campfire!

A great short break, packed with snowy fun.
Northern Lights Snowshoe Safari

Good weather is down to luck; seeing the Northern Lights is down to luck; and we lucked out on both, seeing the Lights 4 out of 5 nights and clear sunny days for 3 out of the 4 days. Even without that, the scenery is stunning and getting off the main trails with snow shoes we hardly saw anyone else, apart from the odd moose. I don't think the trip up to the Sky Station is worth the cost - there are lots of lights up there so it spoils any photography if that's what you're after.

Awesome scenery and exhausting desert hiking
Red Hot Chile Trekkers - The Atacama Desert

The scenery is spectacular, primarily the multi-coloured desert but also watching the flamingos close up in Laguna Blanca at 16,000 ft. I found the high altitude desert hiking exhausting, one eight hour, 15 mile day (longer than advertised due to re-routing caused by rain several weeks earlier) without shade being especially challenging. 11 out of 15 strong hikers got up Licancabur, the rest of us chilled out with the flamingos.

Amazing Adventure
My husband & I had a wonderful time on this trek. We encountered sunny days, wind and even rain on our last day of our trek. Our guide, Hassan was excellent. He was able to be very nimble in the itinerary to ensure we had a full experience in the Sahara no matter what nature threw at us. We had very strong winds during our trek so we would definitely recommend the use of buffs and head scarves. The solitude of trekking across the dunes and plateaus was thought provoking; it was also exhilara ting and awe-inspiring.

A beautiful country to trek in.
Oman Adventure Trekking
Oman has some very impressive and beautiful scenery. This KE trip offers a physical challenge at times but doesn't become too technical. Certainly enough to provide a sense of achievement to most folk. The walks are varied and keep your interest from day to day. It pays to have a decent light weight pair of boots and to have made the effort to achieve a reasonable level of fitness beforehand. Packs are light only and weather was great though you need to drink plenty of water. Camp food is both g enerous and tasty. On top of this Hanna was a fun guide who ensured our safety at all times. Throw in some culture, great local food and I thouroughly recommend this holiday.

Up the Cols with Dasterdly and Mutley!
Cycle Cheeky Cols of Costa Blanca
The fabulous four met up Saturday evening at the lovely hotel in Altea after smooth transfers from the airport. We hit it off immediately and became firm friends over the next seven days, guided faultlessly by the wonderful, Jose and Angel (aka Dastardly and Mutley). I cycle at around 15mph and found that I struggled at times but the group were tolerant and the skill of the guides allowed us to work at our own pace in safety. The hills and the scenery are stunning, a real challenge to all of us, made even more wonderful by the gorgeous weather and the gobsmackingly smooth roads and respectful car / van drivers. Accommodation was just right, the hostel in Mellina gave us a taste of the countryside and the villa in Denia gave us back the beautiful coast line that we had started with in Altea. Dasterdly was true to his word, its either up, or down, in fact my Garmin registered 37mph maximum speed, downhill goes without saying! We all made it to the summit of the Col de Rates in our now predictable formation, wonder woman Chloe and Iron man Dave racing to the top followed by a very consistent Neal and then me, grinding it out at the back. We dutifully posted our cards in thee stopomat box and will take our place in the hall of achievers. Its hard to say what the highlight was, there were so many spectacular moments, one that I will always remember was the look on Dave's face when our food arrived in an amazing restaurant high up in the mountains. Its hard to believe the effect a plate of chicken and chips can have on a ravenous scouser! You just had to be there. Two of us hired bikes which were excellent quality and value for money. All accommodation had dedicated rooms / space for us to use and safety and security was always ensured. We were catered for at all times, fed and watered whenever we needed it and consulted constantly. They even managed to prize us off the bikes to explore some villages on the way. it is clear that our guides really did want us to have a wonderful holiday and cycling experience. Each evening we had a briefing, reflecting on the day and planning the next, we all kept thinking it couldn't get any better, but it just did. A massive thanks to Chloe Dave and Neal for being such brilliant companions, and to Jose and Angel for being such fantastic ambassadors for your beautiful country, for feeding us mountains of Paella and couscous, and for generally looking after us so perfectly.

A great way to see the Amalfi coast
Trails of the Amalfi Coast
The walking was great and the visits to Pompeii and Vesuvius were well-planned. Our guide Giovanni was excellent and he coped well with difficult weather conditions, having to change one planned walk completely. The hotel was not brilliant. The meals were a bit hit and miss, sometimes good, sometimes meagre. The evening meal never included any other drink than water. I would expect to have a hot drink offered to complete the meal as there was no other way of obtaining a hot drink at any time ex cept breakfast. Similarly I would have expected a cold drink of some kind to be included in the packed lunches which were supplied.

Italian food, walking, history, knowledgable guide. And great Italian food.
Trails of the Amalfi Coast
This trip was active enough to keep us busy and burn off most of the calories. Our hotel was a family run gem where we ate most meals which were terrific. Pizza making turned out to be a wonderful treat both from a leaning experience and a tasty meal. Flexibility to switch our Pompeii visit from Easter Monday to Easter Sunday worked out perfect so as to avoid the overwhelming crowds. Transfers were timely. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. One thing that should be included if possibl e is a visit to Herculaneum perhaps en route from Naples on day one. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this trip.

An itinerary jam-packed with fantastic experiences of a life time...
Tigers, Temples and the Taj Mahal - Easter Special - Family
Wow !...what a fantastic experience and family holiday. The itinerary covered so much we felt that we had been away for much longer than the 10 days we were actually in India. As well as seeing those iconic Indian sights we enjoyed the unforgettable experiences of visiting a village primary school (no tables or chairs let alone IPads or computers) where through our fantastic graphics guide, Manoj, the children enjoyed games and singing; and a fantastic evening in Jaipur with an Indian family who taught us to cook some of their traditional family recipes. Manoj was fantastic with our 8 year old who, as a result of Manoj's ability to engage with her on a level that suited her, was engaged 100% with what the trip had to offer. It cannot be denied that this trip is anything other than full-on with many early starts and little down time, but the rewards are well worth it... you can sleep when you get home.
