Tour de Mont Blanc
* Hiking in France, Italy and Switzerland
* Snow clad alpine peaks
* Walking from meadows to mountain passes.
One of the classic mountain hiking tours of the world, the Tour of Mont Blanc circles the highest mountain in Western Europe, providing walkers with an opportunity to sample the culture and flavour of the three different countries which share the massif: France, Italy and Switzerland. Dominated throughout by views of the highest peaks in the Alps, including Mont Blanc itself (4,056m/15,767ft), this Switzerland walking trip follows ancient pack animal routes.
This is a long walk of 14 days in the valleys, foothills and high passes of the Mont Blanc massif. The traverse of the high passes takes you beneath spectacular glaciers and at other times you pass through Alpine villages and summer meadows. The Tour de Mont Blanc is however well within the scope of most walkers. Trails are well defined and easy to follow. The trail is mostly moderate, but with a few challenging ascents and the satisfaction of completing one of the worlds great walks provides the finishing touch to a wonderful holiday.
The self-guided tour is arranged on set departure dates to spread the huge cost of moving baggage. There can be as many as fifteen Sherpa walkers travelling at the same time.
