Tour du Mont Blanc
Altitude 2,665m Grade: T4/Backpacking
Tour du Mont Blanc
The best known Alpine circuit across three countries, three different cuisines with comfortable accommodation plus baggage transfers
This trip will operate with a minimum of 6 participants using a UK leader
Starting from Les Houches near Chamonix, we trace an anti-clockwise route around the massif, visiting Italy and Switzerland on the way. We cross high passes and take the most exciting variations to give you, the client, not only the best views on offer but also a fantastic sense of achievement. En route, we stay in comfortable mountain refuges, lodges and hotels, many in dramatic locations overlooking spectacular scenery. This walk provided a balanced blend of high mountain landscape with glaciers and rock pinnacles interwoven with splendid alpine meadows and colourful flowers.
Our 15 day itinerary means that you will have time to enjoy this fantastic walk to the full. OK it can be completed in far fewer days (or even under 24 hours for top runners), but this is your holiday and we have included two rest days (Courmayeur and Chamonix) to allow you to enjoy the valleys or take the opportunity to ride high on the Alpine cable cars.
Why not extend your trip with an ascent of Mont Blanc or an Adventure Peaks alpine course.

- Medical cover
