Itinerary design and tour logistics -
- Whether for yourself, your family and friends, or for medium or large-sized groups, Teresa can help you make the most of your time in Chamonix.

She can also act as your mediator if it’s comfortable communications that you need.
- Prices start at 150€ half-day and 300€ full-day, depending on group size and the time devoted to creating the itinerary.
Itinerary design with private accompaniment -
- If you're looking for that extra special service, Teresa can also provide a personalised tour for your group throughout, or for part of, the time of your stay, either on foot or with your own transportation.
