Ready for your next adventure? Our popular Alps trek returns in 2023!
You can join us on this breath-taking charity trek through the Mont Blanc region of the Alps and at only five days in total, it's ideal if you're looking for a shorter challenge.
Visiting three countries in three days, this long weekend challenge will open your eyes to the beauty that lies within the Alps mountain range – all just under two hours away from the UK.
With plenty of ups and downs along the way, our route will certainly challenge us, but we’re rewarded with seeing the most incredible views this part of Europe has to offer, from stunning cliffs to gorgeous waterfalls running from glaciers.
The trek was definitely a highlight for me this past year. I met such great people, made lasting friendships, challenged myself physically and mentally, saw such beautiful scenery and all in the name of helping Cats Protection. I couldn’t feel more proud and I'm so glad I did it!
