Overview

The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world's classic walks, and mindful of the adventurous families out there who want to enjoy some of the world's best walks together, we have created this itinerary especially for families with children who want to walk the Tour du Mont Blanc. Meeting in Chamonix, the Alpine mountaineering capital, we begin our journey through 3 countries, France, Italy and Switzerland to complete the best parts of the Mont Blanc circuit. After a day's introductory walk up to lovely Lac Blanc, we return to our very comfortable chalet-style accommodation for a second night. We spend the next 5 days trekking our mini-tour, starting the walk from the door of our chalet. Our route includes several famous pass crossings including the Col de Balme, Col du Forclaz and the Grand Col Ferret (2537m).


Along the way we'll see alpine cows, mountain farms, some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe and spend a night at the Rifugio Elena (2061m). All other accommodation will be in simple but comfortable hotels and there's no need to carry heavy bags as our baggage will be transported from accommodation to the next, except for our 1 night in the hut. It’s a great adventure for the children. This is an excellent introduction to multi-day walking in some of Europe’s most stunning scenery and mountains.

This is an excellent adventure at the heart of the European Alps for those families who love to walk. During the week, we will make a half circuit of the Mont Blanc massif following the classic Tour du Mont Blanc trail. The distance walked each day is between 9 and 15km, and our last day which is 19km, with daily ascents of 500 - 600 metres and up to 1200 metres on two days, one when we climb to the hut. You should make sure that everyone in the family is comfortable with these daily distances and ascents, especially the younger ones. From experience younger children do find the trip a challenge. When overnighting in the hut you will not have access to your main baggage. You will need to carry your toothbrush and PJ's with you. 

 

This excellent introduction to multi-day walking is designed for families that are already used to full days out but now want to link up a journey. During the week, we will make a half circuit of the Mont Blanc massif following the classic Tour du Mont Blanc trail. With comfortable hotel and chalet accommodation and luggage transfers provided on all nights except for the overnight in the hut, this itinerary enables the whole family to walk the best part of the famous Mont Blanc circuit.
