Cost of Trip:

This is a fantastic area to visit, for over a thousand years people have lived in this dramatic landscape, trying to conquer the mountains and to climb Mont Blanc. This journey is one not to be missed, as you go in to three countries each so contrasting.
This is a trip where you can walk through fantastic countryside and at the end of the day enjoy the relative comfort of a bed each night, this is a fully accommodated trek. We use a variety of accommodation from small inns to refuges, small hotels. Some of them are not star rated but have a friendly warm atmosphere usually family run. Rooms will vary from doubles, twins’ triples and bathrooms will be shared. You still complete the famous circuit and your baggage will be transported for you by using our support vehicle. Most days we moved from hotel to hotel but in one or two places we stay for a couple of nights and we use local transport to take on to the next section of the circuit. A journey I completed myself last year and one I would recommend to anyone, but you must get fit before you begin!
