“We have just returned from 2 weeks Tour Du Mont Blanc Hotel Trip. It was everything we expected it to be and thoroughly enjoyed the hike. I was slightly worried that I may not be fit enough, not done as much hill walking as I'd wanted, but as I'm an active person anyway I managed fine. Anyone not used to walking would need to do some hill walking beforehand. We were lucky with the weather, only one wet walking day. A fantastic trip, can't wait to plan another.”

“This was a very well organised trip and the views through the whole trek were absolutely amazing. The walking was sustained and sometimes challenging, but super staff support, campsites, food and regular stops at refuges through the day means the days were never too tiring. It was nice to have two rest days and to eat in restaurants a couple of nights - these 'special touches' were appreciated and I'm sure they added to the success and relaxed feel of the holiday. Camping out every night made the trip really special.”

“A truly spectacular trip! The walks provide excellent views throughout. The varied nature of the trip allows you to see the snow capped peaks of Mont Blanc in every way through balcony walks and reaching the top of cols. We trekked through forested trails, bridges crossing glacial rivers and up to turquoise mountain lakes.”

Travel Tips Hiking Tours of France
Plan your hiking tours in France during the Fall months to enjoy comfortable temperatures, fewer crowds on the trails, and lower prices for accommodations.
Book your mountain hut in advance, especially during peak hiking seasons when lodging options may fill up quickly.
Check the weather forecast before venturing out on a hike, especially if you are wandering in the Alpine region during Spring and Summer when the risk of sudden thunderstorms and heavy rains is particularly high.
Consider the risk of avalanches in late spring, especially if there is significant melting at the higher elevations, which causes the snow to drift downward.
Familiarize yourself with the local emergency contact number, which in France is 112.
Be aware of the presence of bears and other wildlife animals in natural areas, such as the Pyrenees National Park, and avoid unpleasant encounters by following designated trails and using bear canisters or bear-resistant containers to store your food.
Don’t forget to apply a tick repellent before going out on a hike, as they can carry the risk of Lyme disease transmission.
