Would you like to go on an Alps walking holiday, with Mont
Blanc Treks? If so, you’ll be pleased to learn that it’s now far more
affordable to do so, because the pound to euro exchange rate has hit a 7-year
high. To be specific, sterling recently touched 1.4256 against Europe’s common
currency, its strongest since November 7th 2007.
What this means for you is that, when you exchange
currencies to go walking in the Alps, you’ll get far more euros than in the
recent past. For example, if you exchange £2,500 to spend a fortnight in the
Alps, you’ll now get +€560 more than if you’d done so back at the start of
2014, when the pound was far weaker.
In other words, that’s +€560 extra sitting in your pocket,
at no additional cost to you, just because the exchange rate has risen! With
that sort of money, you could extend your Alps walking holiday by a day or two,
splash out, in brief really make the most of Mont Blanc Trek's range of
activities!
Moreover, it could soon become even better value to take a
walking holiday in the Alps, if sterling climbs higher versus the euro. The
pound could exceed this 7-year high, first, if Greece exits the Eurozone, as
looks entirely possible. Second, the pound may also continue to climb, because
the UK economy is easily outpacing the Eurozone’s.
With this in mind, make the most of this advantageous
exchange rate, and book your walking holiday in the Alps!
