ALPS
The ALC Alps Program is a five-week hiking trip that gives campers the opportunity to explore the stunning alpine landscapes of France, Switzerland, and Italy. By starting in the south of France in the Alpes de Haute Provence, moving north to the high Alps of the Chamonix-Mont Blanc area, campers will experience and learn about a variety of alpine cultures and ecosystems.
They will challenge themselves in adventure based activities such as hiking, rock climbing, high ropes courses, glacier hiking and aqua-trekking (traveling in and along a mountain river with wetsuits, life-vests and water-shoes). They will also gain a greater appreciation for the European tradition of traveling by foot during the Tour du Mont Blanc, a historic hut-to-hut 120 mile circuit hike around the Mont Blanc massif while carrying all of their belongings on their backs.
