TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY

REVIEWS

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.

Day 1: Arrival in Argentière, Chamonix Valley

This evening we meet you at your accommodation at Yeti Lodge to discuss the week ahead. There will also be a chance for the guide to check out your clothing and gear and decide if you need to pick up any further items of equipment before setting out in the morning.

Lodging

Yeti Lodge

Description

Nestled high in the Chamonix Valley beneath Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, Yeti Lodge Chalets Chamonix is the perfect base, either for your Chamonix Ski holiday or for a week of Chamonix summer activity. Located in Argentière, Yeti Lodge Chalets Chamonix are situated in a quiet hamlet overlooking Chamonix’s “Grands Montets” ski lift, offering quick access to over 2000 vertical metres of north facing snow and some of the best skiing in Europe.

Day 2: Le Lavancher

We set off this morning from the Chalet, heading up the mountainside through the lovely hamlet of Le Lavancher. Climbing steadily on a good trail through the forest we take in great views of the gorge and the head of the Mer de Glace glacier with a possible coffee stop at the Chalet de Chapeau. Eventually we leave the tree-line and are welcomed by views right across to the jagged peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges. This is an excellent walk to introduce you to the area and the nature of alpine trails. Ascent 657m. Descent 657m.

Day 3: Lac Blanc

Lac Blanc, our target for the day, is one of the most stunning locations in the area. It was recently voted by one magazine as the most beautiful short day walk in the world! Our route begins in the village of Argentiere where we climb steadily to reach the ridge line. As we head towards our destination at 2352 m we pass through the Nature Reserve with its landscape of granite cliffs, small lakes, juniper, and alpenrose. The Reserve is also famous for its ibex and we often get very close to these wonderful animals. As we make our way along the ridge the views of the Mont Blanc range unfold before us. After arriving at Flégère we save our knees by taking the cable car to the town of Chamonix below. Ascent 1100m. Descent 500m.

Day 4: Alpage de Loriaz

A short train journey to start the day on the historic Mont Blanc Express which takes us to Vallorcine "The Valley of the Bears". In the middle ages the locals paid their taxes in bear meat, perhaps the reason why there are none around today! We take a well graded trail up the mountain to the 'alpage' or summer grazing ground at Loriaz where we can enjoy cake and coffee while taking in the views to the Mont Blanc Range. Then a gentle stroll back through the flower meadows and down to the valley via another trail and the train back to our Chalet. Ascent 720 m. Descent 760m.

Day 5: Aiguillette des Houches

We head for the hamlet of Le Bettey where we start our walk through the forest to the 'alpage' at Chailloux which offers some of the best mountain views in the area. Those who want to take it easy today can rest at Chailloux while the more energetic can choose to take in the peak of the Aiguillette des Houches. This is a truly stunning viewpoint with a 360 degree vista of the mountains. It is well worth the extra effort of making the climb to the summit at 2285m. Ascent 933m. Descent 933m.

Day 6: The Posettes Ridge

We head for Montroc and the start of our ridge walk along the Posettes. This is a really excellent ridge and gives great views to the Le Tour and Argentiere glaciers, as well as into Switzerland. After lunch on the summit at 2201m we will descend to Le Buet and take the train back to our Chalet in Argentiere. Ascent 819m. Descent 900m.

Day 7: Montenvers and the Mer de Glace

A great finale to our week today as we take the Mont Blanc Express down to Chamonix and then climb up the mountain to the 'alpage' at Blaitiere. A stop here for a snack and then its off up to join the traversing trail to Signal Forbes. This absolutely stunning viewpoint is where Scottish Glaciologist, James Forbes surveyed France's largest glacier, the Mer de Glace, or 'Sea of Ice' which is 7 km long and 200 metres deep. Nothing beats sitting on this summit and taking in what have got to be some of the most breathtaking mountain views in the world. We then take the historic rack railway of Montenvers back down to Chamonix. Ascent 1100m. Descent 290m.

Day 8: Departure Day

Today is departure day and the end of a week which has included some of the very best alpine walks in the Chamonix valley.

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.

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

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.

                                        We set off this morning from the Chalet, heading up the mountainside through the lovely hamlet of Le Lavancher. Climbing steadily on a good trail through the forest we take in great views of the gorge and the head of the Mer de Glace glacier with a possible coffee stop at the Chalet de Chapeau. Eventually we leave the tree-line and are welcomed by views right across to the jagged peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges. This is an excellent walk to introduce you to the area and the nature of alpine trails. Ascent 657m. Descent 657m.

                                        Lac Blanc, our target for the day, is one of the most stunning locations in the area. It was recently voted by one magazine as the most beautiful short day walk in the world! Our route begins in the village of Argentiere where we climb steadily to reach the ridge line. As we head towards our destination at 2352 m we pass through the Nature Reserve with its landscape of granite cliffs, small lakes, juniper, and alpenrose. The Reserve is also famous for its ibex and we often get very close to these wonderful animals. As we make our way along the ridge the views of the Mont Blanc range unfold before us. After arriving at Flégère we save our knees by taking the cable car to the town of Chamonix below. Ascent 1100m. Descent 500m.

                                        A short train journey to start the day on the historic Mont Blanc Express which takes us to Vallorcine "The Valley of the Bears". In the middle ages the locals paid their taxes in bear meat, perhaps the reason why there are none around today! We take a well graded trail up the mountain to the 'alpage' or summer grazing ground at Loriaz where we can enjoy cake and coffee while taking in the views to the Mont Blanc Range. Then a gentle stroll back through the flower meadows and down to the valley via another trail and the train back to our Chalet. Ascent 720 m. Descent 760m.

                                        We head for the hamlet of Le Bettey where we start our walk through the forest to the 'alpage' at Chailloux which offers some of the best mountain views in the area. Those who want to take it easy today can rest at Chailloux while the more energetic can choose to take in the peak of the Aiguillette des Houches. This is a truly stunning viewpoint with a 360 degree vista of the mountains. It is well worth the extra effort of making the climb to the summit at 2285m. Ascent 933m. Descent 933m.

                                        We head for Montroc and the start of our ridge walk along the Posettes. This is a really excellent ridge and gives great views to the Le Tour and Argentiere glaciers, as well as into Switzerland. After lunch on the summit at 2201m we will descend to Le Buet and take the train back to our Chalet in Argentiere. Ascent 819m. Descent 900m.

                                        A great finale to our week today as we take the Mont Blanc Express down to Chamonix and then climb up the mountain to the 'alpage' at Blaitiere. A stop here for a snack and then its off up to join the traversing trail to Signal Forbes. This absolutely stunning viewpoint is where Scottish Glaciologist, James Forbes surveyed France's largest glacier, the Mer de Glace, or 'Sea of Ice' which is 7 km long and 200 metres deep. Nothing beats sitting on this summit and taking in what have got to be some of the most breathtaking mountain views in the world. We then take the historic rack railway of Montenvers back down to Chamonix. Ascent 1100m. Descent 290m.
