Description
This trip is a must-do for all mountain hiking enthusiasts! Faithful to the myth, Mont Blanc is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive mountains in the world. This hiking tour will lead you from France to Italy to Switzerland in order to experience the towering Mont Blanc massif from a variety of perspectives. Our route takes us over high passes, through deep valleys, and in and out of quaint European mountain villages. The views are breath-taking with innumerable alpine peaks and stunning glaciers surrounding the impressive Mont Blanc massif constantly in the background. This hike is quite demanding, however guests only carry a light daypack each day. In the evenings, you will enjoy French and Italian cooking, paired with a hearty serving of Swiss hospitality in the traditional alpine villages we stay in!
Looking to stay longer in the Chamonix Valley and explore? We have you covered with a 2-night, Chamonix Add-on Package that includes admission to some the most iconic sights and attractions Chamonix has to offer. All activities can be done on your own schedule to allow you the freedom to relax and enjoy this portion of your trip however you desire. We also include a day pass to a luxurious spa for those looking to maximize their relaxation and recovery after their trek.
