About the Tour du Mont Blanc
The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world's most celebrated long-distance walks, circling the Mont Blanc massif through France, Italy and Switzerland across approximately 170 kilometres of alpine trail. With over 10,000 metres of ascent and descent, dramatic mountain scenery at every turn, and a rich mix of cultures and cuisines along the way, it is a hike that stays with you long after you've returned home.
Days on the trail might include crossing high mountain passes with sweeping views of glaciers and jagged peaks, descending into traditional alpine villages for a well-earned meal, and waking to find the mountains lit golden in the early morning light. The route passes through some of the most spectacular terrain in Europe, from the meadows above Chamonix to the dramatic ridgelines above Courmayeur and the quiet valleys of the Swiss canton of Valais.
With luggage transfers and carefully selected accommodation arranged in advance, our Tour du Mont Blanc trips allow you to focus entirely on the experience of the trail. Whether you choose a self-guided journey at your own pace or a small group trip with an expert guide, the Tour du Mont Blanc offers an unforgettable combination of physical challenge, alpine beauty and cultural discovery.
From the iconic starting point in Les Houches to the final descent back into Chamonix, the Tour du Mont Blanc is a journey through the very best of the Alps — and one of the great walking experiences anywhere in the world.
