"Tour of the Giants was the best trip I’ve done yet with Alpenwild. This trip was very well thought out…I can honestly say I don’t see how the trip could have gone better." - B.F. , Washington
We recommend flying into Milan, Italy for this tour. There are two airports in Milan:
Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP)
Milan Linate Airport (LIN)
Both airports are great options; however, MXP is the most convenient for this tour since it’s located just steps away from our meeting point at the Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre, directly connected to the airport terminal.
The tour will officially begin at 9:00 AM on the first day at the Sheraton. From there, we’ll board a private shuttle and depart for Gressoney-la-Trinité (approximately a two-hour drive) to begin our alpine adventure.
If you’d like to explore Milan before the tour, we recommend booking our Milan Getaway—a perfect way to add a little extra adventure to your trip before your Tour of the Giants Trek.
We recommend flying out of Geneva, Switzerland (GVA) at the end of your tour. On the final day, we’ll depart Italy and travel to Chamonix, France, where we’ll spend our last night together. After breakfast at your hotel, a shared shuttle will take you to the Geneva Airport—approximately a 1.5-hour drive.
To ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience, please do not book a departing flight before 11:00 AM, as shuttles will leave Chamonix about 4.5 hours prior to your flight time (allowing for the 1.5-hour transfer and the recommended 3-hour early arrival for international travel).
We recommend booking our Milan Getaway prior to your Tour of the Giants Trek.
Our Alps experts and Destination Specialists can assist with recommendations for your pre- and post-tour travel arrangements. Simply call or email us your plans and we are happy to help make the best of your vacation experience.
You will stay in carefully selected hotels that capture the authentic charm of the Italian Alps.
