Itinerary

Day 1 Adventure starts in Chalet 1802 or Chalet Bediere

Welcome to your alpine chalet, your beautiful base for this incredible hiking adventure. Your adventure begins with a walk into Chamonix this afternoon. Around 6pm, say bonjour to your tour leader and fellow travellers, where we gather as a group to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead during a welcome briefing. Your tour leader then ensures a big welcome over dinner together. Want extra time in Chamonix? Secure pre-tour hotel nights through your sales representative.

Day 2 Walk towards Switzerland via the trekking peak L'Aiguillette des Posettes and to Col du Possettes

Our first walk of the week is on the slopes of the Col de Balme from where we will have views back to Mont Blanc and into Switzerland. From the small hamlet of Montroc we have a short warm-up walk before the trail turns uphill on a steady zigzag path. As the trees thin, the views get even better and by late morning we reach L’Aiguillette des Posettes (7,220ft/2,200m). This is a peak from which we are rewarded with a panorama over the Chamonix Valley, the Aiguilles Rouges National Nature Reserve, and around to Switzerland. The path continues down to the Col des Posettes and then on a steady trail becoming ever more winding and finally down to Le Tour. We return by taking a scenic train ride, the perfect chance to rest our legs and look back at the slopes we’ve just crossed.

Day 3 Transfer above Les Houches • Cross the Carlaveyron Natural Reserve and trek up to the Aiguillette des Houches

Today we have a spectacular walk from the Merlet park through alpine forests and meadows and up to the Aiguillette des Houches (7,500ft/2,285m) for one of the finest views in the Alps – looking directly across the Chamonix Valley to Mont Blanc. Our descent gives us vast views over the Chaîne des Fiz, an impressive wall of cliffs, as we make our way back to La Bettey and a short transfer to the chalet.

Day 4 Drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Italy • Climb to Bonatti refuge and traverse high above the spectacular Val Ferret to Courmayeur

We drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Italy. From the Val Ferret valley, we climb up and along to the Bonatti refuge. At just over (6,560ft/2,000m), the view from here is one of the finest on the tour. Mont Blanc itself, the towering rocky peak of Grandes Jorasses, and the glaciers that crowd the northern flank of Val Ferret are there to be admired. Following a dramatic traversing path, we contour high above the valley before descending towards the valley floor. Time allowing, we head off to Courmayeur, the perfect spot for a well-deserved Italian ice cream.

Day 5 Free day for optional walks, activities or sightseeing

Today is free for optional walks or sightseeing. Your tour leader can advise on possible hiking routes, or you may choose to visit the bustling alpine resort town of Chamonix, which has shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. There are several cable car excursions you can make from Chamonix; the most spectacular is the ascent to the Aiguille du Midi (12,600ft/3,842m), offering fantastic views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks. It should also be possible to take the mountain train up to Montenvers for close-up views of the glacier, Mer de Glace. If you are feeling adventurous, you could enjoy a tandem paragliding flight or rent a mountain bike. For those wanting to unwind, a luxury spa is an enjoyable option. Please note: It is necessary to book a space on the Aiguille du Midi lift and usually the earlier a ticket is bought the better value it is. We will brief you about this on your arrival day. However, if you want to find out more before you travel, or even book your place in advance, you can do so at www.montblancnaturalresort.com/en/. In busy weeks, pre-booking your paragliding flight or spa is also advisable if you want to secure your place. Please don't do this before you receive your final joining instructions informing you of which chalet you will be in and the correct day off. Additionally, the itinerary may change depending on which chalet you stay in − the tour leader will discuss these changes with you if they occur. Generally, those in Chalet 1802 have the free day on Wednesday and those in Chalet Bediere have a free day on Tuesday.

Day 6 Starting from Les Contamines valley, we cross the Col de Voza and continue towards Les Houches

Approximately a 35-minute transfer from our chalet brings us to Les Contamines valley which is where we start our walk back towards the Chamonix Valley. The day starts on a valley path that narrows and steepens as we climb up towards the Passerelle de Bionnassay, a dramatic suspension bridge spanning a white-water stream that tumbles from the Bionnassay glacier above. The route then brings us round to the Col de Voza (5,360ft/1,653m) with an expansive view up the Chamonix Valley. During the afternoon we trek down to the valley floor although there is a cable car option (payable locally) if you have tired legs. On this walk there is also a short section descending where chains can be used as handrails down a rocky path, plus a short ladder to ascend. Distance covered: 7mi (12km)

Day 7 Lac Blanc and the Grand Balcon Sud

In the morning, we head to Les Praz and take the gondola to La Flégère. From this higher vantage point, we will start a circular walk to Lac Blanc (7,715ft/2,352m), which affords excellent views of the whole massif lying to our south. After plenty of time enjoying the panorama, we descend to Lac des Chéserys where, on a still day, we will see the mountains reflected in the water. En route there is a short ladder to descend. From here, we descend a little further again onto the Grand Balcon Sud and walk back to La Flégère. What remains of the afternoon is free to enjoy Chamonix centre or return to the chalet to relax in the garden. Distance: 5.6mi (9km); Ascent: 1,770ft (540m); Descent: 1,770ft (540m); Activity hours: 7 La Flégère gondola is open for trips between 7 June and 13 September. Outside this time, the gondola is due to be closed and its cost is not included in the price of the trip. If the timetable changes and the lift is open, the cable car cost is paid locally (approximately €20). Alternatively, we will enjoy the following spring and autumn itinerary. From Argentière (4,100ft/1,250m) we start our day following the Petit Balcon Sud before changing tack and climbing to the Grand Balcon Sud that contours the Chamonix valley. The panoramic views over the valley to Mont Blanc and all the other peaks, valleys and glaciers are breathtaking. From La Flégère we descend via Chalet Floria where we will have time for a cup of tea. Due to the added descent this is a little harder than the summer itinerary, but the views are equally stunning. Distance: 7.5mi (12km), plus any extra flat walking in the valley getting to and from the chalet; Ascent: 2,430ft (740m); Descent: 3,120ft (950m); Activity hours: 7

Day 8 Adventure ends in Chamonix

Invigorated after a week treading alpine trails, take one final look at Mont Blanc before starting your journey home. Not ready for the adventure to end? You can always speak to your sales representative about extending your stay in this magnificent region.
