Hello All This years alps trip will to the Aosta Valley in Italy, just over the boarder from both Chamonix and Zermatt. So it ticks the mountain boxes, but is hopefully a bit less of a tourist trap. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Aosta,+Aosta+Valley,+Italy/@45.7274244,7.0902598,10z/data=!3m1!4b...

Yes please.

We have an extra space in the hut and can have people camping in the garden. I will camp so we can fit Llyn and Geoff in the hut, if some body else volunteers to camp Roland can get in as well. I'm sure Tom, Harry or Dan can take one for the team. Full Fees apply.
