A 'fast and light' week of the classic Mont Blanc Circuit
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).
