Activity Level: Very High 

The Tour du Mont Blanc is a strenuous trek due to its length, daily elevation gain, and multi-day nature. Expect 12 days of hiking between 7–11 miles per day, with 7–10 hours on the trail daily. Elevation changes range from a minimum of 1,700 ft to a maximum of 4,300 ft of vertical gain, and 1,400 ft to 5,000 ft of vertical loss each day (see the detailed itinerary below for estimated mileage and elevation each day). Maximum altitude reached is 8,323 feet. Trails are generally well-maintained mountain paths, with occasional off-trail sections. 

This trip is built for intermediate hikers and above. This is one of the world’s premier long-distance hikes - ideal for those with prior trekking experience (although not required) or hikers who are ready to challenge themselves with a multi-day route. Good physical fitness is essential, and previous experience with hikes over 5 miles is highly recommended to get the most out of this adventure.

Important: If a participant is deemed unable to safely complete the trek by the certified trekking guide, no refunds will be issued, and the participant will be responsible for arranging and covering their own transportation home.

This adventure includes 2 nights in a comfortable hotel in Chamonix - one at the beginning and one at the end of the trek - ideal for relaxing and regrouping before and after the journey. Hotel rooms in Chamonix are double occupancy and will be shared among participants. Please note that single supplements are not available for this trip.

During the trek, nights will be spent in a mix of mountain huts, refuges, and small inns tucked along the route. These accommodations are rustic and communal, offering a true alpine trekking experience. Expect shared sleeping quarters, typically dormitory-style rooms with bunk beds that can sleep up to 20+ people. Bathrooms and showers are shared, and hot water for showers may be limited and timed.

Meals at the huts are usually served family-style with set menus featuring hearty local dishes. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated with advance notice. Evenings often include gathering around the table for drinks, chatting, and playing games as a group. Staying in these mountain refuges is truly a highlight where you'll meet fellow hikers from around the world and part of what makes the Tour du Mont Blanc so special!

We know group travel is an investment and it’s important to feel good about where that investment goes. This experience has been thoughtfully crafted by a trusted, certified female trekking guide, in collaboration with Kat (the founder of More Girls Outdoors), who has led this trek for Kat's group least year as well as many times years prior. The result is a curated itinerary and experience designed specifically with this community in mind. Here are just a few elements that make up the pricing of this trip:

• A professional certified trekking guide accompanying the group to ensure safety, navigation, and local insight every step of the way
• Luggage transfer throughout the trek - your main bag will be picked up each morning and delivered to your next hut, so you only need to carry a light daypack with your daily essentials while still having access to all your belongings each night
• A dedicated on-site trip ambassador to handle logistics, support the group, capture candid photos, answer questions, and keep everything running smoothly
• Thoughtful extras like a welcome goodie bag and a full gallery of stunning trip photos to relive the adventure

This trip supports local tourism and small businesses including the guides, drivers, and mountain hut staff who make this experience possible. Every detail is taken care of so you can unplug, hike, and soak in the beauty of the Alps.

After arriving at the Geneva Airport, participants will meet at a designated time where you'll be greeted by your MGO Ambassador and board the private group shuttle to start your journey through the Swiss & French Alps to the town of Chamonix.
