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 7-day trekking is designed for those who have little time or do not necessarily want to do the full Tour du Mont Blanc. Our 7-day trekking leads you through the western half of the TMB, starting in Chamonix, France, and ending in Courmayeur, Italy. This is basically the same package as this 5 day itinerary but with a hotel in Chamonix and Courmayeur. Along the way you will spend the nights in French and Italian mountain huts. There you will meet other hikers and enjoy delicious local dishes. During this 7-day adventure, you'll enjoy stunning views of the mountains, snow-capped peaks and 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 worry about is enjoying this 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.

Accommodation at the huts includes dinner and breakfast. We will arrange this for you as well. This allows you to travel lighter and have one less thing to worry about. Bear in mind that lunch is not included, but it can be purchased at the huts. Here you can also buy an array of snacks and bottled water.
