Tour du Mont Blanc - Western Highlights

Over the last few years we spent all of our time together doing several outdoor activities such as climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking, canyoning and other adventure sports. In these extreme sports, you build up a very strong relationship as you have to rely and trust on your partner all the time.

Sharing the same enthusiasm for the outdoors, we decided to make work our passion by starting Happy Tracks. We believe that our combination of a close friendship, an extreme passion and a wide knowledge makes us the perfect team! Participating on a guided tour is more than just walking. We love to give you an authentic experience, sharing our knowledge about local culture and habits, surrounding mountains and secret stories.
