This very enjoyable Alpine walking holiday offers 6 days of guided hiking amongst the superlative scenery of the Mont Blanc Massif. Our walks are selected to provide diversity of length and terrain, through pine-scented forest and Alpine meadow, across high cols into wild valleys, with the ever-present backdrop of famous peaks. Using guides with considerable local knowledge, we explore such classic walks as Lac Blanc, the Posettes Ridge and Aiguillette des Houches. The climax of the week involves an afternoon's ascent to the viewpoint of Signal Forbes where it's namesake, James Forbes surveyed the expanse of the 'Mer de Glace.' A week's holiday that provides the perfect introduction to Alpine walking!
Notes: Prices and itineraries shown for trips departing in 2013 may be subject to change although we will endeavour to keep any price increases for 2013 trips to a minimum. 2013 prices will be confirmed in October 2012.
It was all great; weather, accommodation, food, group leader. The highlight was getting to the summit of Mont Buet, but the other walks selected by our leader were all excellent and diverse.

70%Excellent leadership and knowledge. Excellent weather-based decisions to adjust the walks so we didn't get caught in a storm.

70%I thoroughly enjoyed the walking, very different from the Lakes, with some superb views. It was a great introduction and gave me confidence to consider the Best of the Tour of Mont Blanc another year, and possibly even other venues. The night in the mountain refuge was a first for many of us, but with preplanning was enjoyable and amusing - you need to be tolerant of snoring! And the head torches came into their own. I was a newcomer to walking / trekking in the Alps and found it a perfect introduction, as indicated in the trip's dossier. The holiday was very well organised and seemed to cover all eventualities. And I now look foward to a return trip as I have got somewhat of a trekking bug as a result.
