The Tour du Mont Blanc is considered one of the most exciting and rewarding hikes in the world. Starting in Chamonix, France, it passes through Italy and Switzerland on its way around Western Europe's highest peak.

It is surely one of the best trips you will ever take, taking you into the magical embrace of the Alps. Below towering peaks, across grassy cols, through epic valleys, and towards majestic lakes. Combine that with some authentic Alpine food, and you have a hike that should be on every outdoor enthusiast’s bucket list.

Even though many people decide to do Tour du Mont Blanc on their own or self-guided, you might want to have extra security and fewer worries by going with a guided tour.

Led by our UIMLA-certified guide, your trek in the region will be an experience to remember – you’ll get to enjoy the beauty of the area without having to worry about safety, route finding, or logistics, plus you’ll get plenty of added value from the extensive local knowledge of our guide.

One big advantage of being on a private guided trip is also its flexibility and customization – if the trail allows it, we can do it. 

  • We can design the most suitable route
  • Adjust the number of days to fit your schedule and hiking pace
  • Book the right mix of accommodations, upgrading them for more comfort and luxury
  • Provide transfers between less interesting sections or if you need a rest

Depending on your wishes and preferences, we’ll advise you on the best options and plan your ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc hiking experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

The technical difficulty is low as it is not a climb, but a walk, except for a few lone ladder sections that are pretty straightforward. But still, it is not easy. You need to have proper fitness to hike this many days in a row along with elevation gain. It also goes over wild and uneven terrain, so at least some basic experience with hiking is recommended.

The weather in the mountains is very changeable. Even if it is +25°C in the valley, it much colder on the mountain passes, especially if cloudy and windy. That’s why you should take clothing in layers, along with a windproof and waterproof jacket (could be two), and waterproof trousers (in case of rain). You should also have a separate set of clothes for chilling in the refuges.

Check out our full packing list here.

Even though the views on the Tour du Mont Blanc are scenic and wild, the trail itself never goes more than a day of hiking away from the nearest road or civilization. In case you decide to stop hiking, you can always get to the nearest village or town, and use public transportation to get to your desired destination. If that happens during the hike, we are also here to help you plan this.


Should there be an emergency situation on the trail, you will always have access to the local rescue services on the number 112. We provide more information on that in our self-guided handouts.

The official starting point of the Tour du Mont Blanc is in the village of Les Houches, just south of Chamonix.

Although it's not the only one hikers decide to take, it is the best. The main advantage of that is that you'll always have the view of the Mont Blanc massif in front, and not behind your back. There will also be fewer steep downhills (saving your knees) than otherwise.

The trail is officially divided into 11 stages for 11 days of hiking. However, everyone has their own pace. Some prefer to hike a little more relaxed and leisurely, and some want to go faster. Fastpackers complete it in about a week, while some people decide to hike just a section of it for a few days, exploring the highlights of the trail.

Yes, but it is not recommended if they are too young (younger than 10). Either way, they need to have some previous experience with mountain hiking and know what it takes to complete a full day on the trail.

You should do it as early as possible because the spots at the accommodations along the trail usually run out fast. That means the longer you wait, the fewer options there are.

What a fantastic trip. From the excellent and informative guide, to wonderful, clean and comfortable accommodation. Each day we had perfect weather conditions, giving us picture perfect views every day. Was definitely a trip of a lifetime, which we still talk about often. Walking distances were achievable each day, with friendly guide spending time with everyone, regardless of walking speed. Each evening eating at different towns was a lovely cultural experience. Would highly recommend this trip to everyone. No Roads, is a great professional company to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. Couldn't recommend the trip and the tour company "No Roads Expeditions" more highly.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)

This trip was organized with every detail considered. Our accommodation, most meals and routes were planned each day which is perfect when the region is unknown and you have not completed a multi-day hike before. We had a great time!

Excellently organised and the apps worked brilliantly without data/roaming. This was expertly managed by Sara and we had the best time in full confidence that we were in great hands.

If I could give 100 stars, I would. I don't know if you're a big company or just two or three people behind this, but thank you for such an amazing experience. It was a beautiful adventure. The trails were perfect, each day different from the rest, and a natural beauty that I have seldom seen elsewhere. I had no experience in the world of hiking, and now I can't wait to do the next one! (hopefully next time organised by myself 😂). I had one of the best weeks of my whole life. Thank you a million guys.
