Enjoy some of the most dramatic scenery in EuropeTraverse beneath huge glaciers and meander through beautiful alpine meadowsWalk in the shadow of the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc (4810m)

The Tour Du Mont Blanc Camping Trek starts from and ends in Les Bossons. This is a trekking trip that takes 15 days. You will travel through Val Ferret, Val Veny, Planpincieux and 9 other destinations visiting Italy, Ivory Coast and 2 more countries. This is a guided small group tour. The includes accommodation, transport and others.

Experience has taught us that 15 days is the perfect duration to fully appreciate this iconic circuit around Mont Blanc - 10 days of trekking complemented by three rest days with a wide choice of activities to try. Led by an experienced International Mountain Leader (IML) the circuit crosses three borders, climbs over six passes, traverses beneath huge glaciers, and meanders through beautiful alpine meadows and picture-book villages. We provide comfortable camping from scenic sites with roomy, modern tents (designed for 3 but only allocated for twin share) and unlimited single tents, mattresses and sleeping bags available to hire. Delicious home cooked food is on the menu when in camp and our baggage is transported between each location by our dedicated camp support leader and van, leaving you free to enjoy the inspiring scenery found only on this classic trek.Exodus run this same trek as a hotel version ‘Tour du Mont Blanc hotel trek’ - Trip Code TWO. If time is limited Exodus run an excellent one-week circuit ‘Mont blanc highlights’ – Trip Code TWN - which tick off some of the best bits with easier shorter days or our ‘Tour du Mont Blanc Week’ that is a little tougher – Trip Code TWP.

2019 TMB Trek

“Our recent TMB was excellent. Not only did we have spectacular weather to go along with the stunning scenery we had two top notch guides in John and Emily. The pace John set for the 14 trekkers was bang on; resting when called for and pushing us as we needed to be coupled with a great sense of humour. Emily made certain out campsite was setup each evening after our long treks and cooked us fabulous meals given we were camping . Her energetic personality provided a welcome spark especially at the beginning of the day. G Adventures in Peru were really great too but Exodus our did them with respect to quality of the guides and the excellent dinners. A little more variety in breakfasts and lunches is strongly recommended for sure. I would also suggest stretching the tour to 14 days given there are currently some extraordinarily long days of trekking. Another trip of a lifetime for me. Thanks John and Emily! ”

A trip of a lifetime

“We did the TMB in July - 14 trekkers from Canada. John and Emily were our guides and they were amazing. I can actually say I learned how to walk again in the mountains with John's careful guiding instructions. By the end of the trek, we were able to trek straight up 4 km with a verticle of 1500 m. There is no way we could have done this without our amazing guides. I cannot say enough about Exodus and the people who work with this amazing organization. They are truly professional and we are well into planning our next group trek for July 2020 to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Can't wait!”

Mont Blanc camping trek

“I did the Mont Blanc camping Hike it late June 2019 with a group of 7. The first day i had doubts i would make it from the uphill climb, it was tough. I got in better shape as the trip progressed, i made it.110 mile hike, the scenery was incredible, its just awesome. Exodus employees were great. If your in shape you can do this trip, we slept in tents, hike 1000 meters uphill some days. You break camp in the morning and hike to your next destination, the hotel group stayed in the hotel we camped two different trips”

Challenging and joyous!

“A really super trip. The leader Kim shared her love and knowledge of the mountains and kept our spirits high. Neil, our camp manager, cooked incredible three course meals every night, despite all our various dietary needs. It was a challenging trip but so much fun.”
