Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world's most famous multi-day trekking routes. And rightfully so! The mountains and glaciers of the Mont Blanc Massif are spectacular and it's of course pretty special to hike around the highest peak in Western Europe. If you can't commit to a lengthy trek, but you still want to know what the Tour du Mont Blanc is all about, then this two-day hike may be the perfect solution. This is the Best of Tour du Mont Blanc: Lac Blanc
The Lac Blanc hike is at a high elevation, skipping the tiring climb from the bottom of Chamonix by taking the Flégère gondola to higher ground. You'll climb in less than two hours to Lac Blanc, famous for its iconic views across all the peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif. The trail continues to the upper Chamonix valley, where you stay in the charming Gîte le Moulin. On day two you loop back to La Flégère via a different route with epic views of the roof of Western Europe. Allez!
