Our values

It’s by respecting the environment and the people around us, both travelers and partners, that we can look at ourselves in the compass every morning.

Originality and
professionalism

We’re constantly on the lookout for new routes, paths that tell unique and captivating stories. Our ambition is to guide you through the mountains in a way that is always surprising and innovative, introducing you to extraordinary landscapes and experiences, far removed from the classic and expected itineraries.

We attend to every detail, ensuring that every aspect of your experience is managed with the utmost care and expertise, reflecting our total commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Support from
local partners

 

We attach great importance to ensuring that our foreign partners work under similar conditions to our French guides.

We also make sure that our team is well-stocked, so that the porters are not overburdened, and that their remuneration is above average, so that they are not dependent on tips.

Enhancing
local cultures

 

Whenever possible, we give priority to local partners on our trips: by consuming local products, respecting local know-how and promoting the heritage and culture of the people we meet.

The choice of accommodation and catering solutions we offer our travelers is made with this in mind, offering them an all the more authentic experience.


on safety

 

When we organize a trip, nothing is left to chance.

Our guides and logistics teams are all trained professionals who know the terrain they are taking you to.

What’s more, for every trip, safety features are put in place to suit the region in which we find ourselves.

Listening to our
walkers

 

Watse was founded and is now run by guides who are above all passionate about their profession.

We don’t belong to a large group, so we’re as free as air in the decisions we make.

This independence, which is also what makes us different, means we can choose to focus on our travelers’ experience and offer the little extras that make a big difference.

Respecting our environment

Mass tourism has ravaged far too many countries and regions.

We therefore do everything we can to limit our impact on the environment: we try to limit air travel for stays accessible by train, all water consumed is filtered to limit the use of bottles, all our picnics are offered in washable boxes accompanied by recyclable cutlery, etc.
