Overview

The Tour du Mont Blanc is the most famous multi-day hiking journey in the European Alps, circling the highest peak in Western Europe across roughly 170 kilometres of breathtaking alpine terrain. The scenery shifts constantly as the trail crosses between three countries, from the glaciers above Chamonix in France to the warmth of Italian Courmayeur, and the pastoral charm of Switzerland's cowbell valleys. High mountain passes, wildflower meadows and nights in characterful mountain lodges make this one of those rare walks that lives up to every expectation. No technical skills required - just a head for big landscapes and good legs.
