FRANCE, ITALY, SWITZERLAND - Tour du Mont Blanc
Sun 06th Sep 2026
Bookings available to active members only.
A two week self-guided (Macs Adventures) day pack walk leaving on September 6th 2026 to complete a circuit of one of the most famous walks in the hiking world.
Our trek starts and finishes in Les Houches (with the last night in
Chamonix) and covers all of the 180 km Tour du Mont Blanc circuit, so that we will not miss any of the fabulous scenery every day. The circuit is considered to be in the Top 10 best multi-day hikes in the world. It includes the start through Les Contamines Nature Reserve, a full rest day (day 6) in Courmayeur in the Val d’Aosta, a fabulous few days through the Val Veni and Val Ferret and
finishes on a high with two days walking in the Aiguilles Rouges.
To be considered for this walk, you must be reasonably fit, have multi-day walking experience and are comfortable with numerous mountain ascents (often with staircases) and descents into valleys on almost every walking day. The average walking distance per day is about 18 kms which will take us around 6 hours to complete. We will be carrying our daypacks and our extra baggage will be forwarded onto our next village each night. I have purposely chosen a comfy level of accomodation (2 and 3 star hotels / private rooms with ensuites) to facilitate adequate quiet and comfortable recovery time each day. Breakfasts and dinners are included in the cost at most places we’ll be staying at.
Cost will range from about $5200 (twin share p/p) to $6200 (single room p/p).

Limited to 8 walkers only.
