About this trip
This is a week of daily hikes through the Mont Blanc massif, based from one Alpine chalet rather than moving hotel to hotel each night. An International Mountain Leader guides you through the Chamonix Valley and beyond, taking in some of the region's best-known trails.
You'll walk sections of the Mont Blanc Circuit itself, one of Europe's great long-distance routes, alongside routes to spots like Lac Blanc. Days are spent on the trail, evenings back at the chalet where the hosts cook proper meals and keep things relaxed and sociable.
Depending on when you go, your free time might coincide with one of Chamonix's festivals, from music events to the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc — worth checking the dates if that appeals.
