Reserve This Trip



Here's a way to enjoy the great hiking opportunities of the Mont Blanc region but with the convenience of not having to change hotels every day. Your "base camp" is a comfortable chalet-style hotel in the bustling resort of Chamonix at the foot of Mont Blanc, which features rooms with fabulous views of the icy massif and a huge Jacuzzi where you can relax at the end of each exhilarating day. (And solo travelers will appreciate the availability of guaranteed single accommodations.)

Our itinerary is flexible, with optional moderate to challenging hiking in Switzerland, Italy, and France - showcasing the spectacular beauty of this part of the Alps. And spectacular it is, with fabulous vistas of serrated peaks and glittering glaciers every single day! Best of all, our flexible itinerary allows us to "follow the sun" in this region of micro-climates, so daily hikes are chosen according to where the best weather is. Your guides, members of the prestigious Compagnie des Guides, have a wealth of knowledge that is simply unsurpassed.

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

  • 6 nights at a comfortable hotel in Chamonix - no need to pack and unpack every night!
  • Flexible itinerary allows you optional daily hiking in Switzerland, France and Italy (or even to take a day off for shopping)
  • A great trip for solo travelers - single accommodations are guaranteed!
  • Add on a quick visit to one of Europe's elegant cities and still miss only a single work week


Itinerary: Mont Blanc Escape: Hiking Switzerland, Italy & France

Day 1 - Meet in Geneva, Switzerland, and transfer to Chamonix, France, a pretty mountain village nestled under the flanks of snow-covered Mont Blanc.

Days 2-6 - Hiking in Chamonix and the surrounding areas amid the splendid scenery of Mont Blanc. Our hikes will take you through France, Italy, and Switzerland so you'll get a full complement of the fantastic scenery. Possible excursions closer to Chamonix include téléphérique-assisted hikes close to the Aiguille du Midi and to sparkling lakes in the Aiguilles Rouges; other hikes take you to well known refuges with great views of the Grandes Jorasses, to remote valleys where chamois can be seen, and to spots with panoramic views of attending glaciers. All téléphérique costs are included.

Day 7 - Transfer to Geneva and depart.
