Join tour hosts and former Mt. Rainier Guides Jack and Donna Melill in a classic 6-day trek around the Mont Blanc Massif. The spectacular circuit follows ancient trade routes and Roman roads. From the massif of Mont-Blanc (the roof of Western Europe at 15, 771') seven valleys extend into France, Italy and Switzerland. These areas retain their own unique culture, architecture and landscape. Each day you will hike up to the ridges and descend into the valleys below. There will be time to enjoy views of glaciers, green mountain meadows and spectacular peaks. The landscape will take your breath away!
This trek is designed for physically active people who have a spirit of adventure and are able to hike 4-7 hours each day carrying only a small day pack (your luggage is transported daily) to scenic passes up to 8,900 feet. There will be plenty of time to enjoy views of hanging glaciers, mountain meadows, Alpine hamlets and spectacular peaks. The trip includes two Chamonix Guides, all meals and a fabulous Alpine experience. The nights before and after the hike will be spent at a hotel in Chamonix. Accommodation on this mountain hiking trip varies between small quaint hotels and mountain lodges.
