An extended walk
in the Alps, traversing
high mountain passes
There is something unique about a circumnavigation of the Mont Blanc massif
on foot. Perhaps it is a feeling of exhilaration from being immersed in some of
the most beautiful mountain scenery on earth while a quaint village is only a
few hours away. Or perhaps it's the daytime forays where you tough it out over
a glacial pass to descend to your evening accommodation for a nice quiet 'local
red' to reflect on the days adventures. This is trekking at its most civilized! The
route is always inspiring, ambling through flowering meadows, dipping into old
oak forests and breaking out above the tree line into high alpine pastures which
showcase the snowy peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif. The finishing touch... the
opportunity to sample the warm mountain hospitality of the French, Swiss
and Italian villages along the way. With a range of guided tours around the
Tour du Mont Blanc there is an option for everyone. Discover the highlights
on the popular Mont Blanc Guided Walk. Take in the whole route on the Mont
Blanc Encompassed, or stay in private rooms throughout on the Mont Blanc
in Comfort. For those who want to walk the route but don't want to join a
trip graded moderate to challenging, the Mont Blanc Rambler is the perfect
option. Bring the kids on one of our dedicated family trips and experience this
spectacular walk with the whole family.
