TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 0

Travel to Chamonix and the team will meet at 6:30pm in our hotel for a briefing. Your guide will go over the preparations and answer last minute questions before dinner. Hotel night in Chamonix

DAY 1


It is an early start to set off from Les Houches, enjoying the stunning views of the Chamonix Valley as we utilise the Bellevue cable car to travel 900m/3,000ft to the starting point of our trek. We cross under the Bionnassay Glacier and continue up to the Col de Tricot 2,120m/6,955ft, before a steep descent of approximately 700m/2,300ft. From here, it is a short climb over our final col of the day before entering the forests that take us to the small town of Les Contamines

DAY 2

This morning we take a shuttle from the hotel to Notre Dame de la Gorge and continue our trek to the Col du Bonhomme. We traverse across to another col and often if lucky, we get to see local wildlife in this area. Once at this high point, we have a gentle ascent to the hamlet of Les Chapieux at 1,300m/4,250ft

DAY 3

Today we start with another short minibus transfer that will take us to the starting point of our climb to the Col de la Seigne 2,516m/8,255ft. From here, we can soak in the views of Italy and Mont Blanc. We descend for just over 800m/2,600ft from the col past the south ridge of Mont Blanc to a low valley, where we take the bus to the quaint Italian town of Courmayeur

DAY 4

We leave Courmayeur and head up the Mont de la Saxe Ridge through pine forests to the Bertone Refuge 2,025m/6,644ft. The ensuing journey along the ridge offers some of the most spectacular views of the Mont Blanc range, before we arrive at the Bonatti Refuge 2,056m/6,745ft for our mountain hut night

DAY 5

The day starts with a gentle traverse to the Elena Refuge 2,061m/6,762ft, where we can take a break to enjoy the views across to Mont Dolent and its glaciers. We will be ready for our climb of the Grand Col Ferret 2,490m/8,169ft where we cross the border into Switzerland. We descend through fields for 800m/2,600ft to the small township of Ferret, where we catch a bus to the alpine village of Champex 1,466m/4,810ft

DAY 6

We begin the day with an easy walk down to Champex d’en-Bas to begin climbing along the Bovine Trail which traverses the mountainside to the Col de la Forclaz 1,527m/5,010ft and a descent to Trient. From here, we will take a taxi to Argentière in the Chamonix Valley for the night

DAY 7

From Argentière, we head up through a nature reserve to the famous Lac Blanc 2,352m/7,717ft to soak in more magnificent views of the Mont Blanc Massif. From here we can choose whether to take the cable car to La Flégère or to continue the traverse across the Aiguilles Rouges, descending to Les Houches 1,200m/3,900ft and returning by train back to Chamonix and our hotel.

DAY 8

It is your final day to enjoy breakfast and exchange photos with your group, before departing for home
