Tour du Mont Blanc
The Mont Blanc Circuit is deservedly one of Europe's classic walks, circumnavigating western Europe's highest mountain.
This exciting itinerary concentrates on some of the most spectacular sections of the circuit, thus enabling us to produce a hard and exhilarating one-week trip for the trekking enthusiast.
Overnighting in simple family-run accommodation, we trek clockwise around the Mont Blanc massif from the Col de la Forclaz to Champex (Switzerland) and Courmayeur (Italy), before reaching our final destination of Chamonix (France).

Accommodation
& Centre Details |
| |
2 nights hotels, 5 nights mountain refuge.
Throughout the trek we use small family run hotels, pensions and auberges and on most nights we will probably be in shared dormitory accommodation or triple and quadruple hotel rooms. It is usual that dormitory accommodation is mixed sex.
Please be aware that room sizes in both hotels and dormitories and their facilities will vary from one place to the next and sometimes from room to room within one hotel. Some of the hotels have attached bathrooms but most have (limited) shared bathroom and toilet facilities 'on the landing'.
Some have washbasins in the rooms. You may wish to bring a travel towel, as those provided are sometimes small.
Additional Accommodation
If you require any additional accommodation either before or after the trip, we can book this for you (subject to availability). Please notify us at the time of booking. Payment for this must be made to your agent or us in advance, so that we can issue you with an accommodation voucher.
Please contact the Exodus office for up to date prices. Please note that a £5 booking fee is added to the invoice. |
