This hike is one of the most famous in Europe and traditionally crosses 3 countries: France, Italy, and Switzerland. The famous Tour du Mont Blanc is a 170-kilometer long circuit, which encircles the Mont Blanc massif and has 10 kilometers of ascent/descent. The trek can be completed in 7 to 11 days, depending on the route and physical condition.
This 8-day trekking is designed for those who don't have the legs or the time to do the full Tour du Mont Blanc. Our 8-day trek leads you through the eastern half of the TMB, starting in Courmayeur, Italy, and ending in Chamonix, France. This is basically the same package as this 6-day itinerary but with a hotel in Courmayeur and in Chamonix. Along the way, you will spend the nights in Italian, Swiss, and French mountain huts. There you will meet other hikers and enjoy delicious local dishes. During this 6-day adventure, you'll enjoy stunning mountain views, snow-capped peaks, and walk through small picturesque mountain villages. You don't have to worry about the logistics of booking the huts. We'll take care of that for you, so all you have to do is enjoy this unforgettable adventure.
Please note that the sample itinerary below is subject to change, as we partner with a wide range of mountain huts to ensure your trip goes ahead seamlessly. Availability may vary, but our flexibility in working with multiple refuges helps us deliver the best possible experience for you.
