Activity Level: High 

The Tour du Mont Blanc is a strenuous trek due to its length, daily elevation gain, and multi-day nature. Expect 12 consecutive days of hiking between 7–11 miles per day, with 7–10 hours on the trail daily. 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 vary throughout the route and include mountain paths with rocks, roots, steep ascents and descents, steps, and occasional exposed or more technical sections including areas with handrails and ladders. Depending on conditions, participants may also encounter snow.

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 participants must be comfortable with long days on mountain trails. Experience hiking longer distances (think 8 miles+) with significant elevation gain and loss is strongly recommended. Participants should arrive prepared to hike on consecutive days, ready to hike the entire Tour Du Mont Blanc route (we do not do a shortened version), and should train specifically for the demands of the route.

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, accommodations, and any additional expenses incurred after leaving the trek.

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/hotels tucked along the route. These accommodations are rustic and communal, offering a true alpine trekking experience. Expect shared co-ed 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. Picnic lunches will be given to you to carry in your daypack at the start of each trekking day. 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!

This trip is perfect for women who already enjoy hiking and are excited to take on a true multi-day trek through the Alps. You do not need to be an expert hiker or even have previous multi-day trekking experience, but you should have a good base level of fitness, prior hiking experience at similar daily distances and elevation gain/loss as this trek, and be comfortable spending long consecutive days on mountain trails.

This trip is a great fit for you if you:

• Have prior hiking experience and are comfortable with longer hikes that include significant elevation gain and loss

• Are prepared to hike 12 consecutive days and understand that the challenge of the TMB comes not only from individual hiking days, but from the cumulative mileage and elevation over the full route, day after day

• Are comfortable hiking on varied mountain terrain, which may include rocks, roots, steep ascents and descents, exposed sections, steps, ladders, and potentially snow 

• Have a good level of overall fitness and are willing to train specifically for the trip before departure if needed

• Are comfortable staying in a mix of hotels and shared mountain huts, including dorm-style co-ed accommodations and shared bathrooms 

• Are excited about the challenge and experience of completing the entire 105-mile Tour du Mont Blanc, rather than a shortened version of the route

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 the last 3 years as well as many, 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 (except 2 nights)

• 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 guide, 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.
