The tour in detail

Tour details

Duration

da 4 a 10 giorni

Suitable for

Hikers in good health, capable of walking at least 6-7 hours a day, with an average elevation gain of +/- 1,200 m, on mountain trails with loose dirt and/or rocky surfaces, sometimes snow-covered depending on weather conditions.
The Mont Blanc tour trekking program can be customized to your level upon request.

Best time

From mid-July to mid-September.
From mid-June to mid-July, and from late August to mid September, it is still possible to find snow on the highest passes; therefore we recommend using lightweight crampons and trekking poles.

Tour type

Trekking tour with overnight stays in mountain huts or small hotels, organized on a self-guided basis or accompanied by a hiking guide. Required transportation is included with private vehicles, and luggage transport is available upon request for some stages.

Tour highlights
  • A wonderful itinerary to discover the majestic Mont Blanc massif with an unique trekking tour suitable for all mountain lovers!
  • Reach the most beautiful passes and mountain huts below the high peaks, admiring the impressive glaciers around the Mont Blanc.
  • On request, combine the tour with the Mont Blanc glacier excursion, with our expert Alpine Guides!
  • Hike for 5-6 hours each day, or take local buses to shorten the daily stages.
  • As an alternative to the "classic" Mont Blanc tour with overnight stays in refuges, we have studied an itinerary that includes nights in small hotels in the villages, where we can almost always find availability (otherwise almost impossible in the refuges)
  • Overnights in typical and welcoming and small hotels, to relax after each hiking day and enjoy the delicious local food.
  • Self guided tour with maps and GPS tracks or guided tour with our expert hiking guides, to discover the most beautiful trails around the Mont Blanc massif.
  • On request, customize the Mont Blanc hiking tour combining other outdoor activities and tours.
