The full circuit of Mont Blanc
This itinerary circumnavigates Mont Blanc and explores the surrounding
alpine region. Faced with picture postcard vistas from every vantage
point, the scenery and landscapes that unfold before you are simply
remarkable. This trek affords unsurpassed views of the different
faces of the Mont Blanc massif along routes that traverse the Balme
mountain passage and the highest point on the Tour du Mont Blanc,
the Grand Col Ferret at 2537m. You are likely to see Ibex, marmot and other wildlife as you descend through
alpine meadows towards charming fairy tale‑like villages. Crossing the foothills of the Alps through France,
Italy and Switzerland provides an opportunity to encounter the alpine cultures and cuisine unique to these
areas and staying in hotels, gîtes and refuges is a great way to soak up the warm hospitality for which this
region is renowned.
