Overview

One trek, three countries, ten days, 100miles and thousands of steps, these figures are nothing compared to the emotions you will experience on the Tour du Mont Blanc!

An original route that takes the historical direction and some variations to avoid the most frequented trails. You will witness the spectacle and proximity of the great glaciers and all the most beautiful balconies are gathered in this circuit.

Immerse yourself in a theater of nature animated by a rich fauna and flora while enjoying the light bag walk. In the evening, you will find your luggage in accommodations chosen for their comfort.

The full Tour du Mont Blanc passes through Italy, France and Switzerland.
