A classic walking holiday adventure around Mont Blanc in the heart of the Alps of Europe from Chamonix, France trekking through Italy and Switzerland. Starting out in the Chamonix Valley, this superlative walking holiday makes a complete circumnavigation of Mont Blanc and its satellite Alpine peaks. Walking firstly into Italy and then Switzerland, the trekking route follows picturesque Alpine valley trails and walking up and down steep mountain paths. Our walking route also leads us to climb to a succession of scenic and challenging Alpine passes, including the high point of the circuit at the rocky Fenetre d'Arpette (2670m/8,757ft). Lower level highlights include the vibrant Italian Alpine resort of Courmayeur and the charming Swiss village of Champex. As an excellent final day addition to this classic walking holiday around Mont Blanc in the Alps we include the trek to the summit of the Brevent (2525m./8,280ft), for unmatched views of Chamonix, the Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc itself. We use a good standard of hotel accommodation throughout and our vehicle back-up means that group members need carry only a small daysack. Suitable for regular hill walkers looking for an Alpine trekking adventure around Mont Blanc, this holiday provides an excellent introduction to long-distance trail walking in the Alps of Europe.
Trip Guide
This is a classic walking route on good trails. The average distance covered each day is around 15 kilometres/9 miles and there is a fair amount of ascent and descent. However, the pace of the walking is quite leisurely and regular hill walkers will find this trek to be well within their capabilities. Additionally, vehicle transport for your KE trek bag, means that you need to carry no more than a small daysack. On all but one of the trekking days, there will be vehicle support to carry the group members trek bags to the next overnight stop. On Day 3 of the itinerary, group members will need to carry a few additional items, as the hamlet of Les Chapieux is sometimes not accessible by vehicle.
