Overview

What to expect.

The Tour du Mont Blanc circles the massif in around 170 km, crossing high passes between three countries and three valleys. It is one of the great walks of the world, and the huts along the way are part of the pleasure.

Our version takes nine walking days at a steady pace, with your luggage moved between some of the valley stops. You should be fit for six to seven hours of walking a day with around 1,000 m of ascent.
