Tour de Mount Blanc Trek
Trip Grade: Tough
The Mont Blanc region boasts one of the world's most renowned hiking and trekking circuits. Our trip includes three European countries in a six day trek. This close to home challenge will be physically demanding but the rewards are some of the most spectacular views Europe has to offer. There is an array of topography on offer from steep cliffs, glacier spilling waterfalls, forested tracks, open meadows and crystal clear lakes.
