The mythical Tour du Mont-Blanc !
Water is the factor common to all the sections of this superb middle mountain excursion which winds around the Mont-Blanc range crossing international frontiers on the way around the Roof of Europe. Certainly the best known of the hundreds of local paths and trails and without doubt the best way to discover the multitude of landscapes which make up this range's outstanding natural beauty.
The path around the Mont-Blanc is the most international of all hikes. The paths which make up on this circuit cross the borders that run through the Espace Mont-Blanc with the Valais in Switzerland, the Aoste Valley in Italy and the Pays du Mont-Blanc in France. The Tour du Mont-Blanc combines the most beautiful paths in the area, encompassing 7 valleys, 71 glaciers and 400 peaks! For a whole week, at your own pace, you can totally immerse yourself in the fascinating universe of the high mountains. When walking becomes a reflex, your mind is free to concentrate on the fresh air and the incredible views of glaciers, mountain lakes, cliff routes, vertiginous passes and enjoyable descents into the valleys where soft beds and convivial evenings await you. The path around the Mont-Blanc is as good as any of the other famous mountain hikes half a planet away. Here, as a bonus, you will be welcomed as a local, respected for the efforts you made to get there - and glad to know that in the morning your hike on the path to happiness will continue. The return to day-to-day reality after getting away from it all in the nature, simplicity and beauty of the mountains is more difficult!
