Trip Guide
This is a well established Alpine walking holiday on good trails throughout. In this trip we walk the best sections of the classic Tour du Mont Blanc trek, linking these with short bus journeys. The average distance covered during each day's walk is around 15 kilometres (9.5 miles) and there is a fair amount of ascent and descent. However, the pace of the walking is quite leisurely and regular hillwalkers will find this Mont Blanc trek to be well within their capabilities. Additionally, vehicle transport for your KE trek bag, means that you need carry no more than a small daypack.
