► The World's Most Luxurious Hiking Trip. No idea what is this. Read this - click here Europe's # 1 best trek.

The complete Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the most popular long-distance treks in Europe through France, Italy and Switzerland. It circles the Mont Blanc massif covering roughly 170 km with 10,000 m of ascent/descent in a complete loop that takes 11-13 days. Hiking the complete Tour du Mont Blanc loop is no easy feat involving more elevation gain than the height of Everest!

It is also the route of an annual mountain marathon UTMB in which the winner normally covers the entire distance in less than 24 hours. Each year, 20,000 hikers follow the loop around Mont Blanc - Europe's highest mountain.

We will be trekking between & staying in a combination of traditional villages, guest houses, mountain huts dorms, private rooms & hotels - some are simple & basic right next to nature. The lodging offers a charming and friendly atmosphere in a mountainous area.

Our Trek Plan
Our is a condensed route selecting the scenic sections. We'll trek & complete close to 90+ km over 6 incredible days. Yes, we will still cover France, Italy and Switzerland.

Lac Blanc is a high-altitude mountain lake, surrounded by rocks and accessed by many different hiking trails. The calm clear waters create the perfect mirror image of Mont Blanc and the snowy peaks on the opposite side of the valley. Lac Blanc is a particular favourite of ours as it offers so many different perspectives of the Mont Blanc Massif and demonstrates some of the most beautiful alpine colours, changing all year round.

How difficult is the trek & risks involved?
The complete Tour du Mont Blanc route is a tough trek with considerable ascent and descent on each day. We would suggest that you are a regular hiker who is looking for a challenge. If you currently don’t enjoy an active lifestyle we don't recommend this. The terrain is mountainous, rocky & rough underfoot.

It is recommended for those who are regular hikers or someone with an active exercise lifestyle. Experience in trekking is useful. You have to love living life simply - as we aim to trek from mountain villages. Intermediate hikers ONLY do some exercise at least once a week.

► FAQ: Do I need to worry about AMS?
Ans: No, altitude sickness generally can occur at heights over 3000 meters and all the passes along the Mont Blanc circuit are below this.
► FAQ: What is the difficulty level? How fit do I need to be?
Ans: The Mont Blanc circuit is a moderate to demanding trek for any walker, the fitter you are the more enjoyment you will receive out of the walk. Some sections are fairly easygoing while other parts demand long ascents and steep pitches. You should have reasonable fitness and be able to hike between 15 to 20 km & around 800-1000 meters ascent a day.
► FAQ: What’s the weather like?
Ans: changeable! The area in the Alps around Mont Blanc has its own micro-climate and during our trekking period, we will experience all types of weather sometimes in one day!
July - Sept [ Min +10°C ] [ Max +30°C ]
Even in summer, the weather in the mountains can be notoriously changeable. Temperatures may drop to freezing or go up to 35°C in the day.
