Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The Tour of Mont Blanc is western Europe's most popular long walk, encircling its highest mountain. Over 10-11 days, you walk 106 miles through France, Italy, and Switzerland, staying in alpine refuges. The walk is strenuous because of the amount of ascent and descent, but no technical skill is needed. The scenery is superb: majestic glaciers and snow-laden peaks overlook peaceful lakes and alpine meadows.
