Additional Information

Experience has taught us that 15 days is the perfect duration to fully appreciate this iconic circuit around Mont Blanc - 10 days of trekking complemented by three rest days with a wide choice of activities to try. Led by an experienced International Mountain Leader (IML) the circuit crosses three borders, climbs over six passes, traverses beneath huge glaciers, and meanders through beautiful alpine meadows and picture-book villages. We provide comfortable camping from scenic sites with roomy, modern tents (designed for 3 but only allocated for twin share) and unlimited single tents, mattresses and sleeping bags available to hire. Delicious home cooked food is on the menu when in camp and our baggage is transported between each location by our dedicated camp support leader and van, leaving you free to enjoy the inspiring scenery found only on this classic trek. Exodus run this same trek as a hotel version ‘Tour du Mont Blanc hotel trek’ - Trip Code TWO. If time is limited Exodus run an excellent one-week circuit ‘Mont blanc highlights’ – Trip Code TWN - which tick off some of the best bits with easier shorter days or our ‘Tour du Mont Blanc Week’ that is a little tougher – Trip Code TWP.
