Tents, Tarts and Song on the Tour du Mont Blanc

This was a fun, companionable and challenging trip. It was very well led and organised, with excellent food and great company. The walking itself was more challenging than I expected and it took my legs some time to adjust to climbing a mountain every day, but the reward was increased fitness and a sense of achievement. The scenery was beautiful and we were blessed with good weather on all but one of our walking days.

Most Inspirational Moment

Singing songs from The Sound of Music at the top of le Brévent takes some beating. The company and camaraderie throughout was excellent.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Heather was the perfect mix of fun and professionalism. When we faced our day walking in the rain, she lifted our spirits expertly. I suffer from vertigo and she was very patient in the gnarly bits, making me feel safe. Meanwhile, Neil's cooking and hard work around the camp were very much valued. They were a great team.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Everyone says this, but get fit! I hadn't, and it took a few days for me to start to enjoy the walking. Pack light - you can wash things along the way and you're going to have to take the bag from the van to your tent and back each day. Take plenty of money for snacks - you might think you're not going to need them, but when you've walked 3 hours steep uphill and it's only 11AM, you're going to want the can of cold, sugary pop that costs 5 Euros. Take a few cereal bars or buy them in Chamonix on Day 1 - not many stops in the first couple of days' walking.

TMB - Camping

The trip was fantastic, with only one day of rain on walking days. Fabulous views and great company. There was a real sense of achievement in completing the walks.

Most Inspirational Moment

Completing the whole TMB with the 1500m climb up Mount Brevant on the last day. In the public swimming pool in Chamonix, there is a nice indoor pool and sauna, but there is also a large outdoor pool - it was weird but wonderful to swim outside, surrounded by mountains partially covered in cloud.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Heather was so much fun and knew how to encourage us up the hills - luring us with promises of good coffee and cake - and knowing where the best ice cream was found. But I also had confidence in her as a guide and felt safe and comfortable on the mountains. Neil - the camp organiser was also a star - hot water for tea always available and the food was amazing, especially considering the limited facilities he had at his disposal. Altogether they were a great team, who greatly contributed to the spirit of the trip

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just to say that there are opportunities for washing clothes at some of the campsites (sometimes limited, but most managed a mid trip wash of kit). Be prepared to spend more on cake and ice creams than you might expect!

Tour du Mont Blanc Camping Trek

I had a wonderful trip with amazing scenery, rewarding walks, terrific food and great company.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed everything but the view from Grand Col Ferret was especially stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Heather was a terrific leader - sociable, great fun but always professional. And Neil ran the camp with friendly efficiency and cooked a wonderful variety of fantastic food for us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It's worth getting as fit as possible as some of the days are pretty strenuous.

TMB Camping

This trip was simply amazing – the scenery was incredible and made even more special by the fantastic people that I shared it with. Heather and Neil were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and everything was well organised and ran smoothly.

Most Inspirational Moment

I don't think I have a most inspirational moment, loved it all.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Heather was fantastic - really enthusiastic & knowledgeable, plus motivational (when needed!). Neil kept everything running amazingly, copious amounts of delicious food and a well maintained bar- bliss to have a cold beer after a days walking… The food that he cooked in camp was better than the meals we ate out.

tour mont blanc

Advice for Potential Travellers

Remember that you are camping, and are REQUIRED to help with domestic duties.

TMB Camping

this is an amazing trip. Heather and Neil make an excellent team and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Wonderful walking around Mont Blanc. The fitter you are the more enjoyable it is.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of the Brevant.

Excellent Tour de Mont Blanc Camping Trip

Have to say this was an excellent trip, exceeded my expectations. Beautiful scenery, great views of the mountains, met a great bunch of people from all walks of life.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting up to Grand Col Ferret on day 5 and up to Brevent on the last walking day, a 1500m ascent with spectacular views when the clouds cleared, a great finish to our trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Heather was an excellent group leader, got us all safely up and down the mountains on a daily basis. On the last day she carried a bottle of champagne up to Brevent which we all enjoyed after a long slog to the top, a nice touch. Neil cooked delicious meals for us in the evening.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It is a challenging trip, most days have ascents of 1,000m and similar descents. The last day's ascent of 1,500m is a tough walk but worth it.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Que de beauté! C’est fatigant, certes, mais il y a des merveilles à contempler tous les jours.

Most Inspirational Moment

Just passing the time of day with the toothless old man in his flower garden next to the beautiful baroque Church of Notre Dame de la Gorge.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lotte was a truly remarkable person. Charlie was indefatigably well-organised. They made an absolutely excellent team.

Tour due Mont Blanc - Camping

This trip lived up to and exceeded my expectations. The TMB is a fantastic walk but would not have been such a wonderful experience had I not found myself part of a great group with a superb leader and back-up. The organization was excellent, we were blessed with good weather for 9/10 walking days and the views were spectacular. I was very happy I chose the camping option – the best food of the trip was definitely in the mess tent and most of the campsites were beautifully located.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Le Brevent 2,525m and knowing that we had all completed the TMB with no injuries or mishaps. The champagne carried by up by Heather was a bonus!

Thoughts on Group Leader

In my opinion Heather is an inspirational leader, extremely fit and knowledgeable she handled our diverse group well and ensured the trip was a success for all. Mention must also be made of Neil - our back up - who seemed to be able to achieve miracles within the confines of a camp kitchen.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for challenges - 1,120m vertical ascent on the 2nd day of walking was hard, especially the heat. Oh and if you can: take crash course in packing away a Quechua tent - they may be easy to erect but dismantling definitely isn't easy. Best approach is brute force - like a rugby tackle .

TOUR MT BLANC

This trek my first to the Alps met and exceeded my expectations.

Most Inspirational Moment

Traversing the Cols between different countries on the trek - Plus the transportation on the cable cars both within the package and as an optional trip on 'rest days'.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lotte was superb. Very pleasant and supportive to all group members. Managed the timings seamlessly and made adjustments to the route to suit the group and make it even more enjoyable. Ably supported by Charlie.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Consider a single tent and dont expect to loose weight even allowing for the long days walking - In my opinion there is no need to take/consume extra 'energy' snacks etc
