Tour du Mont Blanc North
Self-Guided Walking Holiday
+ Walk one half of the famous TMB
+ Grand Alpine trails high above the valleys
+ Thoughtful advice on itineraries and options
Trek half of the classic Tour du Mont Blanc route over 6 days of Alpine walking. The full Tour is an 11-day circuit of Western Europe's highest mountain; it can be split up very conveniently into two halves of roughly equal length, each fitting inside a week's break.
Start in the Italian Val Ferret near Courmayeur and finish in the Chamonix valley. On the way, you pass through all of the Swiss stages and complete the sections in the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix, hopefully with some of the best views of Mont Blanc. There are 6 days of walking, each one a stage on the official Tour du Mont Blanc route.
Tour du Mont Blanc Update August 2008
Contact us to discuss your week of TMB trekking, for July, August or September 2008. Availability is reasonable for dates in late summer.
This being a self-guided holiday, you're free to complete the walks as you choose: we arrange everything for you, including booking accommodation and providing you with routecards for the walking, and then it's up to you to carry out the walks yourself. The nature of the terrain means that the walking is slightly easier in the Northern half than the Southern half.
Your accommodation is a mixture of valley hotels and auberges chosen for their friendly welcome and good location. The range of places visited gives a realistic feel for life as it's lived in this part of the Alps.
