Mont Blanc Classic Walks

Spectacular day-walks beneath Mont Blanc
Perfect introduction to walking in the Alps
Comfortable Argentiere, French chalet base
One of our most popular Mont Blanc walking holidays
Two nights in mountain huts

This very enjoyable Alpine walking holiday offers 6 days of guided hiking amongst the superlative scenery of the Mont Blanc Massif. Our walks are selected to provide diversity of length and terrain, through pine-scented forest and Alpine meadow, across high cols into wild valleys, with the ever-present backdrop of famous peaks. Using guides with considerable local knowledge, we explore such classic walks as Lac Blanc, the Posettes Ridge and Aiguillette des Houches. The climax of the week involves an afternoon's ascent to the viewpoint of Signal Forbes where it's namesake, James Forbes surveyed the expanse of the 'Mer de Glace.' A week's holiday that provides the perfect introduction to Alpine walking!

Trip Guide

This is a superb walking week at the heart of the European Alps. Every day during the week, we have a classic walk which will follow good and well-marked trails. Some of the walks make use of cable-car lifts (either up or down) to allow us to access the most interesting areas more easily or to save tired legs at the end of the day. The average distance covered each day is around 10 to 15 kilometres (6 - 9 miles) and there is usually a fair amount of ascent and descent. However, the trip is intended as an introduction to Alpine walking and the routes have been chosen carefully to ensure that they are not too tough and we tackle them at a moderate pace with time to stop and take in the scenery. We spend each night back at the Yeti Lodge for our well earned rest and to leave the mountain huts for our next visit. We have given this trip the overall grade of MODERATE.
