Mont Blanc Circuit - Quick and Light(ish)
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“A fast and (preferably) light tour around the iconic Mont Blanc Massif. With an emphasis on seeing the highlights of the Mont Blanc circuit, you can definitely expect your moneys worth of walking when trying to cover as much of the amazing scenery as this trip takes in.”

“As a newcomer to this tour company I was pleasantly surprised how well structured and organised this trip was. The team John B. (our hike leader) and Emily S.( camp organizer and chef par excellence )was exceptional with their cheerful ,easy going approach yet professional on every level.I so appreciated the smiles and jokes- even in adverse weather conditions . Their engagement made this tour through this magnificent landscape even more memorable.Thanks again to both !!”
Great exercise, top food and an excellent guide

“The Tour surpassed my expectations. The days can be long and the climbs can go on, but it's worth it for the incredible views, excellent food and the stories and jokes along the way.”

  • Wander around the edge of Lake Geneva. As one of the most popular lakes In Europe and one that’s surrounded by the Alps, it is a breathtaking place for a walking tour.
  • Check out the hills and trails of St Moritz. In winter, this is a world-famous ski resort, but in the late spring and summer months, the town is a playground for pedestrians and hikers alike.
  • Walk in the shadow of the Matterhorn in the car-free town of Zermatt. A popular ski resort and hiking region, the town’s quaint alpine vibe is the perfect spot for Switzerland walking tours.
  • Combine your Switzerland walking tour with an e-bike excursion. Thinking about hitting up the Bernese Oberland area of Switzerland, including the mighty Eiger? You might need the extra boost on the incline sections with an e-bike.
