Prices indicated are calculated based on a limited number of seats available or for a departure in over 2 months from today. Once all prereserved seats are filled, or for reservations with a departure in less than 2 months, we might have to acquire seats for a higher price (depending on availability at the moment the reservation is made), which might result in the application of a supplement that increases the closer we are to the departure date.

Our trip

  • The most famous multi-day mountain hike in the Alps, a must for every hiker !

  • Discover, taste and experience the 3 different alpine cultures (France, Italy and Switzerland)

  • A rest day at Courmayeur in the middle of the trip !

  • A selection of very comfortable hotels (3* and 4* only !)

  • An easy start and finish in Chamonix

 

Circling the Mt. Blanc Range means hiking as close as possible to this legendary alpine giant without actually climbing. Every day, enjoy so many new discoveries as you explore the different sides, cultures, and landscapes of the range: first through France, and then Italy and Switzerland. The well-marked trails and circuits are trade and communications that have been used, in some cases, since Antiquity. This is hands down one of the world's major and most classic multi-day mountain hikes!

We lucked out with Emilie as our guide who exceeded our expectations. She gave personal attention to all of us and made this hike an enjoyable experience with her positive, funny disposition. She was always encouraging us and making sure that every person in the group was having a good time.

The TMB hike is very beautiful but quiet strenuous. Please make sure you get Emily Lecomte as your guide. She is the BEST in this business.

Mont Blanc Experience team did a very good job of arranging our Tour De Mont Blanc hiking trip. Their team is very professional. Itinerary was well planned. Our guide Coline was exceptionally good. She made our trip more enjoyable. Mont Blanc Experience team also tried their best to accommodate our requests. I would recommend to use their services.

    Hi Dave,
    Mont Blanc Experience doesn't have reviews yet because this is our first season. Right me directly at [email protected] and I'll send you the reviews of the french agency that is at the origin of Mont Blanc Experience.

    I was fooled by the two positive reviews above. They took out all the negative ones. The guide they sent was terrible with no experience leading a US group and cannot communicate correctly and efficiently with working level English. And the guide had no sense of time management and he was the only one being late every day. If you have a strong stomach, you may have good luck with the lunch the guide prepared in his room, not a kitchen!
