OVERVIEW
The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is a circuitous trek around Europe’s highest mountain, through France, Switzerland and Italy. The trek around Mt. Blanc is one of Europe's best mountain walks and you'll get a chance to appreciate the different cultures, foods and peoples whilst you hike through glorious Alpine scenery. From the massif of Mont Blanc (4801m), seven valleys extend into France, Italy and Switzerland. Each valley retains its own unique culture, architecture and landscape and it's through these valleys we will hike. Each day we hike up to the ridges and descend into valleys below, with time to enjoy views of glaciers, green mountain meadows and snow capped peaks.

The trip begins in Geneva from where we transfer to Chamonix in France and begin our hiking challenge: the spectacular circuit around Mont-Blanc, one of the world’s classic hikes which demands some respect. From the massif of Mont Blanc (4801m- the highest mountain in western Europe), seven valleys extend into France, Italy and Switzerland and each retains its own unique culture, architecture and landscape and it’s over these valleys that we’ll cross. Each day we hike up to the ridges and descend into valleys below, with time to enjoy views of glaciers, green mountain meadows and snow capped peaks. This is a mountain trip where we cross passes above 2700m walking an average of 5 to 7 hours a day so you need to be in good physical condition (steep ascents and descents averaging 1000m to 1200 m up and 700 to 1000m down each day). You’ll be glad to hear that this is a supported trek where you carry just your daypack and stay in accommodation where your main luggage will be waiting at the end of each day.

At the end of our hike we transfer back to Chamonix and have time to enjoy the town and its’ glorious surroundings. Take a trip up the thrilling Aguille de Midi cable car and enjoy lunch in Europe’s highest restaurant at 3842m with breathtaking views over Mt. Blanc. From Chamonix we depart to Switzerland and make our way to Geneva, for our departing flights .
