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

  • For maximum comfort, luggages transported separately in vehicle

  • A selection of nice accommodations, in private room.

 

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!

Very satisfied of the trip Guided tour du Mont-Blanc in Hotel
This Tour du Mont Blanc was an epic experience and the trip of a lifetime! Merci Mont Blanc Experience/Allibert for providing a seamless and stress-free adventure! Our guide Barbara was a patient, caring, skilled and strong leader for our small group, allowing each of us to safely go at our own pace, while maintaining the days timing and schedule. She handled a few unexpected situations that arose with professionalism.
My personal strength training really paid off on the steep and LONG inclines, (my poles or ìsticksî as they say were essential) but honestly, the scenery is so stunning that I never grew weary and couldnít wait to see what was around the bend (or I should say up and over the top!)
The accommodations and meals (lovely breakfast buffets each morning!) exceeded my expectations, overall a great value for the price of the trip. A little flexibility is required at times with the taxi/public bus transportation, but thatís part of the journey!
Highly recommend!

This is an advanced trip, prepare for strenuous all-day effort with steep terrain for several hours uphill, and steep, unequal footing downhill. Know your food and water and supplement intake for difficult effort. Noemi is an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge, she prepares delicious food, listens to everyone and kept a pace to match our skill and interest. There is limited toilets and water must be carried except for one day when water was available. The views from this trip cannot be matched. Donít expect hiking thru villages, this is hills and valleys with miles of views, lots of glaciers and daily goat Shepardís .

Meals

Our goal is to ensure that you eat well-balanced meals suited for the effort required each day, and to lighten your pack load as much as possible.

Dinners : in the hotels, dinner typically consists of a fixed three-course menu, including a starter, main course, and dessert. In Courmayeur, you'll have the delight of dining at a traditional Italian restaurant, where you can enjoy an authentic local culinary experience
The first dinner in Chamonix is not included to give you all options in town and a dinner on your own.

Breakfast : in the hotels, you'll enjoy a generous and diverse buffet featuring pastries, fresh bread, homemade jams, fruits, and cereals. For those who prefer savory options, there's also a selection of breads, cheeses, ham, and eggs.

Lunches: pack-lunches either prepared by your guide or the accommodation.
The picnic has an important place in a day of hiking. Healthy and balanced, it allows you to regain your strength before continuing the day's hike. The tasting of local products is an opening on the traditions and the regional culture, and then it is above all a moment of convivial exchange.

During our trekking trips, our guides are careful to ensure that these shared meals are special moments, and try to diversify the menus as much as possible while taking into account the constraints related to transport and food conservation in the specific conditions of the trip.

We commit ourselves to :

  • Offer a share of regional products, chosen, when possible, from local producers to support short circuits.
  • Favour quality products and integrate a part of organic food.
  • Reduce packaging, especially plastic, and recycle the remaining ones.

 
If you have strict dietary constraints, we invite you to communicate them to us before departure.
Remind your guide of this during the first briefing: he will be in charge of the picnics and will be your contact with the accommodation providers.

Drinks: beverages (excluding water) are not included. Please pay for all drinks consumed on site before your departure, to avoid any additional charges after your stay.

Luggage transfer

You'll only need to carry your day pack and a picnic lunch, while your main luggage is transported by vehicle to your accommodation each evening.
Each person is allowed one soft bag, weighing up to 15 kg, with no food items included.

Itineraries

Our elevation gains are calculated based on altitude differences provided on maps, not by GPS, which, for technical reasons (GPS altitude inaccuracies + statistical dispersion), often give overestimated elevation gains, sometimes by up to 20%.

Group composition

You'll be sharing your stay with English-speaking people of many different nationalities: British, American, Australian and many more. Get ready for a truly multicultural experience!

What you need to know

Be prepared for the weather:
The weather in mountains can change very quickly. The weather forecast is quite accurate for the next 3 upcoming days, but not that much further. Thunderstorms are common in the afternoon when the weather is hot, they are very located and show up very quickly. Wake up earlier in the morning when the weather forecast announces it, you will have crossed the high pass before it starts.

Considering the Environment:
While trekking you have to be careful not to destroy the environment you are enjoying so much. It is not only for your enjoyment, but people and wildlife also rely on this environment.
 
Here are some simple tips:

  • Pick up any litter along the trail.
  • Burn all your toilet paper and bury your faeces, make sure you go at least 50m away from any water source.
  • Drink tap water instead of mineral water as plastic bottles are an unnecessary waste.
  • Stick to the trails to prevent erosion and damage to fragile alpine flora.
  • Ensure all rubbish is packed and bring them back down to the villages.

Insurance :
All tour participants should obtain their own personal insurance which covers medical and emergency evacuation at a minimum. You will of course also want cover for loss or damage to personal effects, flight or trip cancellation etc. Please ask us for advice.

Final tips!

  • To ensure that you have the best time possible, please respect local traditions, customs, values and the environment.
  • Respect privacy when taking pictures.
  • Your attempts at speaking some French or Italian will open hearts and break the ice!
  • Protect the natural environment, see above.

Italia
Some tips for staying healthy:
Tap water is mostly good for drinking all other the Alps. Unless notified as not, you can consider it as drinkable. Even if they are recyclable we request you consider the waste impact of your bottles.
Your hands are perhaps your biggest enemy in terms of your health as they get very dirty during the day. Wash your hands before every meal or snack. People often think they get sick from the food, but it's far more likely they forgot to wash their hands!

During the trek, don't try to overpass your strength and walk too high, too quickly! Keep a regular pace and take time to enjoy the view while walking.
Listen to your guide and take their advice as they are trained to look after your safety.

If you have any special dietary requirements, please advise us when booking your trek so that we can cater for you. Note: sometimes not all dietary requirements are able to be met, but please inform us and we will certainly do our best!
