Mont Blanc Travel—The Softer Side of “Hard Core”

If there's a Mecca for hikers, it must be the Alps, with the famous "Tour du Mont Blanc," the circuit of Western Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc (15,771'), as the centerpiece. This incredible journey—one of the world's classic treks—ambles through an ever-changing panorama of dramatic glaciers, crenellated peaks, and heaven-reaching spires masquerading as Gothic cathedrals. Along the way you'll be hiking through France, Italy, and Switzerland, each with its own distinctive flair and language (you'll soon learn the essential trailside phrases: bonjour, buon giorno, and gruetzi!).
 

Limited in Vacation Time?

Try our “express” version of our classic Tour du Mont Blanc! It’s four fewer days of hiking, but the breathtaking scenery, cultural attractions, and outstanding cuisine (especially our popular gourmet picnic lunches!) remain unmatched. Accompanied by a symphony of cowbells, you'll follow alpine trails through forest and field, near glacier and ice. A great way to enjoy Mont Blanc hiking without the same time investment as the traditional Tour du Mont Blanc.
 

Our experienced mountain guides bring a wonderful dimension of history, geology, and local color to every aspect of the trip. After a vigorous day hiking glacial ridges and rocky moraines, you'll welcome the creature comforts of quaint mountain inns and comfortable hotels—all featuring excellent meals and great local wines. It's not surprising that this is one of our most popular trips in Europe.
