Walk the iconic alpine trail through France, Switzerland and Italy
Our start point is the campsite in Les Bossons, with wonderful views from the campsite of Mont Blanc and the dramatic crevassed Glacier des Bossons, especially at sunset. In the evening there is an introductory briefing by the trek crew.Campsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons
From Les Bossons (1,012m – 3,320ft) we have a short bus journey to Chamonix from where we walk to Les Praz and take the cable car to La Flégère (1,860m – 6,100ft). The trail today is named the 'Grand Balcon' and is on the opposite side of the valley from Mont Blanc, affording excellent views of the whole massif lying to our south. Initially we contour and then climb to reach the high point of the day, Lac Blanc (2,352m – 7,715ft). The trail descends and then contours high above the valley before dropping steeply to the hamlet of Les Frasserands (1,371m – 4,500ft), from where we take a scenic valley train back to our campsite. In the afternoon there is a very short section of ladders/steep steps with handrails to descend.8 hours walking. 500m – 1,640ft up, 980m – 3,220ft downCampsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons

After a scenic train ride up the valley to Les Frasserands, we begin by climbing steeply to the Aiguillette de Posettes (2,201m – 7,200ft), descend a little and then ascend towards the Col de Balme (2,191m – 7,190ft) where we follow one of the paths across the border from France to Switzerland. Excellent views all morning of Aiguille d'Argentière and Aiguille du Tour and its glacier. After lunch we descend to the small hamlet of Trient (1,296m – 4,250ft), where we will enjoy some lovely views of the Trient Glacier. 7.5 hours walking. 970m – 3,200ft up, 1,060m – 3,466ft downCampsite: camping near Trient

We climb first to the Col de Forclaz (1,527m – 5,010ft) and then onwards to look directly down into the Rhône Valley and the small Swiss town of Martigny. We follow a historic path used to take the cows to summer grazing, the ‘Bovine route’ (2,049m – 6,720ft) that takes us through meadows and high alpine pastures before descending to the charming town of Champex (1,486m – 4,880ft) set beside a picturesque alpine lake.7 hours walking. 920m – 3,017ft up, 720m – 3,261ft downCampsite: Camping Les Rocailles, Champex Lac

Distance in Miles: 10
Now on the east side of the main Mont Blanc massif, we walk south, descending through woods to the Val Ferret and on to Issert (1,055m – 3,460ft) and other pretty alpine farming villages. If you are visiting early in the season (June/July), this is a great day to see flowers in bloom, including orchids. We continue up the valley to the remote village of La Fouly (1600m – 5250ft), which lies at the foot of Mont Dolent, whose summit marks the meeting point of France, Switzerland and Italy.6 hours walking, 540m – 1,780ft up, 440m – 1,450ft downCampsite: Camping les Glaciers, La Fouly

Distance in Miles: 9
Following the same valley and the river 'La Drance', we climb to the 'Grand Col Ferret' (2,537m – 8,320ft), the highest pass of the tour. Now in Italy, the valley is also called ‘Val Ferret’. The mountain views from the Col are stunning, with Grandes Jorasses dominating the scene. We walk down the valley to Arp Nouva (1,770m – 5,800ft) where we take an optional bus to Planpincieux (1,600m – 5,250ft). For the first and last trip of the season, the bus may not be running and we may need to walk to camp.7.5 hours walking. 970m – 3,180ft up, 800m – 2,600ft downCampsite: Camping Grandes Jorasses, Val Ferret

Today is free for you to rest after the first week’s exertions and enjoy some sight-seeing. The nearby former spa towns of Courmayeur and Entrèves have picturesque older areas that are worth a visit, especially for the keen photographer. We also highly recommend the Skyway cable car from La Palud to Point Helbronner (3,461m – 11,350ft), which gives close-up views of all the big peaks. Tickets for the cable car can be purchased online or locally at La Palud.Campsite: Camping Grandes Jorasses, Val Ferret
We start with a short bus ride to pick up the Tour du Mont Blanc route, and from the road (1,675m – 5,500ft) climb up to the Bonatti refuge (2,025m – 6,640ft). Today we follow a beautiful contouring path around Mont de la Saxe to Courmayeur. The views of the south Mont Blanc massif are exceptional, as are those of the towering peaks of the 'Grandes Jorasses' and the glaciers that crowd the northern flank of the Val Ferret. In the afternoon, we have a long, steep descent to Courmayeur (1,230m – 4,030m) where there will be time to stop for a tasty Italian gelato before taking a short bus ride into the spectacular Val Veny (1,530m – 5,020ft).8 hours walking. 500m – 1,640ft up, 900m – 4,400ft downCampsite: Camping Aiguille Noire, Val Veny
Distance in Km: 14
Distance in Miles: 9
Today’s trail climbs gently along the Val Veny, beneath the moraine of the massive Glacier du Miage. Passing Lac Combal, the gradient becomes steeper as we follow the old Roman road across the 'Col de la Seigne' pass (2,516m – 8,250ft), marking our re-entry into France. A fairly steep descent brings us through La Ville des Glaciers (1,789m – 5,870ft) and finally to Les Chapieux (1,553m – 5,090ft), a small hamlet that is only inhabited in the summer months. This is one of the longer walking days, but the experience of walking beneath a glacier and over the Col de la Seigne pass make the challenge well worth it.8.5 hours walking. 990m – 3,250ft up, 970m – 3,180ft downCampsite: camping in Chapieux

We have now reached the southwest corner of the circuit and turn north to climb once again. Today is a longer day; first we make a steep climb to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme (2,478m – 8,130ft) and then contour around to the Col du Bonhomme (2,328m – 7,640ft). We then descend (again on a Roman road) to our campsite in Les Contamines (1,180m – 5,900ft).8 hours walking. 930m – 3050ft up, 1375m – 4510ftCampsite: Camping le Pontet, Les Contamines

A chance to rest or enjoy some independent exploration. There are short and long optional walks in the area, many accessed by a chairlift or gondola, that have spectacular views of Mont Blanc. Mountain cafes make a nice place for a scenic lunch. Alternatively, you could take the Mont Blanc cog-driven tramway to the Eagle’s Nest – the starting point for many aiming to conquer Mont Blanc itself. Otherwise, time can be spent visiting the half-day market in Les Contamines, or you can simply relax around town or in camp and recharge your batteries for the days ahead.Campsite: Camping le Pontet, Les Contamines
Today will be another long but rewarding day as we return to the start point of our trek. We walk through Les Contamines, ascend to Chalets du Truc (1,720m – 5,614ft) and then descend to the Chalets de Miage (1,560m – 4,120ft). From here, we take the trail that climbs steeply to the Col de Tricot (2,119m – 6,950ft) before descending very close to the snout of the Glacier de Bionnassay, where we will enjoy fabulous views of the Mont Blanc massif’s northern side. Eventually, we make another short ascent to reach the Col de Voza (1,652m – 5,418ft), where we re-enter the Chamonix Valley and descend to the village of Les Houches (dependent on the time of year, there is an optional cable car descent from Bellevue to Les Houches). A short bus ride takes us to our camp in Les Bossons (1,012m – 3,320ft).9 hours walking. 1,200m – 3,980ft up, 1,370m – 4,500ft downCampsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons

We cross to the north side of the Chamonix Valley and climb through a pine forest. The high point of the day is Brevent (2,525m – 8,290ft), from where there are panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif and the Chamonix Valley. We walk down to Plan Praz (1,970m – 6,460ft), then descend by cable car to Chamonix and walk to our camp at Les Bossons (1,012m – 3,320ft). It is possible to take the cable car descent from the top (dependent on the time of year). This extra journey will be payable locally should you choose not to walk.Our last day on the Tour du Mont Blanc circuit is long, with a tough climb of over 1,500m, but affords the best views on the whole trek of Mont Blanc and its neighbouring peaks. On our return to Les Bossons, we will have successfully completed the Tour du Mont Blanc!7.5 hours walking. 1,480m – 4,850ft up, 520m – 1,690ft downCampsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons

Today is a free day for optional walks or sightseeing. Your leader will be able to advise you of possible walking routes or you may choose to visit the bustling alpine resort town of Chamonix, which has numerous shops, bars, restaurants and cafés. There are several cable car excursions you can make from Chamonix, of which the most spectacular is the ascent to the Aiguille du Midi (3,842m – 12,600ft), offering fantastic views of Mont Blanc and surrounding peaks. It should also be possible to take the mountain train up to Montenvers for close-up views of the Mer de Glace glacier, or if you are feeling adventurous you could enjoy a tandem paragliding flight.Campsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons

We provide 14 breakfasts, 10 picnic lunches, 8 home-cooked 3-course group
meals in camp and 5 group menu meals taken in local restaurants. Due to the
small size and remoteness of several of these restaurants, and for speed when
serving a large group, these will be set menus.Breakfast: This will usually
consist of coffee, tea, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread and
conserves.Lunch: Picnic-style lunches will normally include bread, cold meat,
cheese, sometimes boiled eggs or tinned fish, fresh salad and fresh fruit.
You may wish to bring (or purchase locally) snack bars for an extra energy
boost during the day.Evening meal: Whether in camp or in a nearby restaurant,
we endeavour to make dinner something to look forward to. Each day there will
be a freshly prepared menu for the whole group, consisting of a soup, salad
or similar, a main course of meat, fish or vegetarian served with a selection
of vegetables and carbohydrates, and a dessert.Beer, wine, bottled water,
coffee, tea or other drinks are not included in the price of evening meals
taken in restaurants. Coffee and tea are included with the evening meal when
we eat in camp and beer and wine are also available for purchase at a modest
cost.Vegetarians: We happily cater for vegetarians – please inform us at
the time of booking.If you adhere to a vegan diet you should expect that
variety of food may be limited whilst on this trip as this kind of diet is
relatively uncommon in this region. We cannot guarantee that the restaurants
will provide meals that have the necessary variety to be considered
satisfying when on a more restricted diet.The feedback we receive for the
food we serve is great but please be aware that facilities are limited and
practicality forces us to put our efforts into making one excellent group
meal with a vegetarian option. Of course, any allergies will be respected.

This trip is graded Activity Level 4 (moderate/challenging) - it involves 10
days of walking; 2 days at a Moderate level and 8 days at a Challenging
level. Most of the days are long, quite often involving an ascent of 900-1200
metres (or 3000-4000 feet), equivalent to 3 to 4 hours walking uphill,
followed by a similar descent. Although the paths are well maintained, there
are sections that are rough underfoot. On day 2, there are 2 metal ladders
to descend en route from Lac Blanc. These are secured against the rock,
consist of approximately 12 steps and are not difficult to climb down. The
route throughout is non-technical, however we will be walking mountain paths
and this trip is not advised for severe vertigo sufferers.Please be aware
that on days 6 and 8, we take a short bus transfer to avoid trekking on busy
roads.Most people trek the Tour du Mont Blanc anti-clockwise. From years of
experience, we have discovered that trekking the route clockwise allows for
quieter trails and avoids a tough ascent on the first couple of days. The
views and walks are still just as beautiful in this direction.As this is a
group holiday you need to be confident that your fitness will allow you to
enjoyably walk at a consistent and steady pace that matches the group
average, therefore allowing the group to finish the day at a reasonable time.
You will also enjoy the trek a great deal more if your fitness allows you to
walk the route in relative ease. A Challenging graded day would be equivalent
to walking between 3 to 5 hours uphill and a similar time downhill, so up to
9 hours in total depending on the pace (including breaks). Due to the lower
altitude, climate, and overall comfort of this trek, it is graded Level 4
(moderate/challenging). The Activity Level reflects the overall endurance
required for this trip, not just the ease of any particular walk. Other treks
with a higher Activity Level, requiring a higher overall endurance due to
their remoteness, lack of facilities or average weather etc., may have
shorter easier walks. Please read the daily itineraries below when make
comparisons to other walks/trips you may have done before.If you are unable
to walk during the itinerary and want to opt out of a day, please take note
that this can sometimes be a little tricky, depending on where on the circuit
you are. To reach the next point you will need to take a public bus (which
run at limited times) or taxi (which can be expensive in more remote
locations). Our support vehicle is not suitable for carrying passengers so
please be aware of this when deciding to book this trip.Download our Fitness
Training Guide for more information on our Activity Levels.All ascents,
descents and walking distances listed below are approximate. We have decided
the most accurate method is to map the routes carefully using Google Earth.
That said, it is impossible to obtain a completely true figure of the
distances walked. Regarding GPS – due to the inherent inaccuracies of
defining an exact waypoint with a GPS and the cumulative overall inaccuracy
this causes, you may find that our distances and GPS distances you obtain on
trek with your personal GPS/phone may differ by quite a margin. Timings
stated include lunch and photo stops and will vary depending on the pace of
your group.This trek is based on the 'supported camping' concept, with a
vehicle doing all the hard work of transporting luggage, equipment and
supplies. Whilst camping, the support leader will erect your tent, but in
the morning you will be expected to pack away your own tent (these are modern
pop-up style tents that are very easy and quick to fold away) and deliver
your own bags to the back of the van. On 4 of the 8 nights that we eat in
camp, you should expect to help with the washing up as well as washing your
own breakfast dishes each morning. Please note: On this trip it is
essential to have helicopter evacuation cover within your travel insurance.
CampingCampsites throughout the trek are comfortable and modern. On 12 nights, hot
showers are available and there are electricity points to recharge batteries
etc. Many campsites have a bar and WiFi, as well as a lounge or sitting area
for relaxation. We provide a large communal tent (if we do not use the
campsites communal area), where we eat at tables with benches and have an
unlimited tea and coffee station, camp bar and more relaxing seating such as
inflatable sofas. The campsites are in stunning settings and sharing an
after-trek drink with newly made friends as the sun sets over a glaciated
mountain vista is the perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors.Accompanying
you throughout the trek is a dedicated camp support leader who will take care
of all the logistics and catering. Your tent will be put up for you each
night. In the morning, you will be asked to take your own tent down (this
should take no more than 3 to 4 minutes), put your bag in the back of the van
and wash up your own personal breakfast dish. On four nights out of 14 you
will be asked to join a washing up team and help with the dishes that evening
– a 20-minute job. Otherwise, you are free to relax and your time is your
own.You will spend 14 nights camping in roomy tents designed to sleep 3
people, but with a maximum of 2 people per tent. We use modern dome tents
incorporating a 210 cm x 210 cm inner tent with sewn-in ground sheet and a
supplementary 230 cm x 70 cm covered porch that is an ideal place to leave
your walking boots and poles etc. The tents are completely
waterproof.Single tents are available for a small additional cost, as are
camping mats and sleeping bags with liner and pillow. Our camping mats are a
full-length air- and foam-filled variety which are comfortable to sleep on
and provide excellent insulation from the ground. Our sleeping bags have a
synthetic filling, as opposed to feathers, with a 3/4 length zip and provide
plenty of warmth. All our equipment is bought with both comfort and
practicality in mind and we hope represents a higher quality than most
individuals would buy for themselves. Two remote campsites are in stunning
locations but are a little more basic than others and do not have showers. We
eat in restaurants on these nights.Thermal mattress hire: £32 - please
request in advance with your Sales agent.Sleeping bag hire (3- or 4-season),
pillow and liner: £63 - please request in advance with your Sales
agent.Single tent hire: From £150 - please request in advance with your
Sales agent.
Comfortable camping and beautiful scenery on the Mont Blanc 
We provide a qualified International Mountain Leader to escort the group on
each walking day. Our walking leaders are true mountain professionals. As
well as being skilled group leaders, they are there to help assure safety on
the mountain. They also impart their knowledge of the wider mountain
environment such as flora and fauna, geology, weather and local customs. Our
support leaders are also vital members of the team and ensure that the camp
is set up and ready when you walk off the hill (wherever practically
possible) and hot, tasty and nutritious food is served.
We provide 14 breakfasts, 10 picnic lunches, 8 home-cooked 3-course group
meals in camp and 5 group menu meals taken in local restaurants. Due to the

From late June to early October, fair weather is to be expected, but all
mountain ranges create their own weather patterns and the Alps are no
exception. It can and does rain, and especially on the high passes it can be
surprisingly cold at times. Expected daytime temperatures are in the range of
15 to 25ºC in the valleys (although it can sometimes reach 30ºC in
July/August), 5 to 15ºC on the passes (though it will feel colder if wet and
windy) and 5 to 15ºC in the valleys at night; possibly a little lower early
and late in the season. There is always the possibility of lying snow,
especially in the early season, and snowfall even in August and September,
when we may find new snow on the passes. Please note that on late season
treks (September) the days are shorter and we will need to make early starts
to make the most of the available daylight hours.
All camping equipment is provided except for your own sleeping bag and mat:
the equipment we use is of a high standard and includes easy to erect, roomy
three-person tents, dining tent, stools, lighting, all pots, pans, stoves,
crockery and utensils. The support vehicle carries the camping equipment and
your luggage from campsite to campsite whilst on the trek for all days. The
support driver collects fresh supplies of food each day and will normally

the dinner that is not included, allow €25. You will also need money for
drinks in cafés or huts during the day's walks and drinks in restaurants
where we take our evening meal. Typically, a large café au lait or a soft
