There are many reasons why a hike of the Mont Blanc Circuit is a "must" on any adventurer's "to-do" list, but here are our Top 10 (which should be more than enough to get you going!)

1. You'll step through the enchanting countries of France, Italy, and Switzerland: three countries, three cultures, three languages, three cuisines—all on one great trip!

2. It's all you ever wanted from a challenging hike – you'll cross at least one pass a day (3,000 feet up and down!).

3. Enjoy the delightful company of guides (all members of the prestigious Compagnie des Guides) who know just about everything there is to know about the region: history, botany, local legends, the name of every single peak and glacier, and the best restaurants!

4. Invigorating hiking days are topped by stays in comfortable and charming hotels and mountain inns. There's nothing like a comfy bed to rest your weary bones in after a challenging day of hiking.

5. Wine and dine like a king! Don't miss out on delicious regional specialties such as Tartiflette (a potato, bacon, cheese dish that is exactly what you feel like having after a full day of hiking!) and the grolle (a wooden vessel filled with a potent alcoholic concoction that is passed from one person to another around the table).

6. You'll make use of your high school knowledge of foreign languages (at least the "hello" part).

7. It's one gorgeous view after another and you don't want to miss a single thing! (So don't look down!)

8. The Alps' color palette of blue skies (most of the time…), white and blue glaciers, gray and black granite peaks, and green vegetation is vibrantly enhanced by an array of colorful wildflowers dotting the trails.

9. Marvel in endless alpine views of 15,771-foot Mont Blanc (the highest peak in Western Europe) and five-mile-long glaciers that are rivers of ice.

10. You can extend your adventure with a couple of days in classy cities such as Paris, London, Florence, or Venice.... After all, they're practically just around the corner from the Alps.
