Trek the Tour du Mont Blanc in a Weekend: The Hut-to-Hut Edition

great trip, great camaraderie and an excellent guide, very lucky with the weather, inspired me to go back and do the whole TMB!

I had an amazing time on the TMB! This was my first time in Europe and I couldn’t have asked for a great experience. The trip was well organized and our guide Loic was absolutely amazing. He knew where to guide us and was able to make quick decisions when one of our routes was closed. It was difficult at times for someone like me coming from sea level but Loic helped me conquer the tough hikes. Our group was amazing and a great mix of people from all over and all ages. This was my first adventure with Much Better Adventures and it certainly will not be my last. If you’re hesitant about signing up don’t hesitate just go for it! You will not regret.

I had an incredible time hiking the Alps with this organization. The guide was excellent, and the other group members were all great companions for the trip. Totally exceeded my expectations!

Loved it. Cannot recommend this trip enough. Scenery was stunning, group was great. I very much appreciate how much thought and care MBA put into the planning, it was such a treat to be on an adventure where someone else had taken care of the logistics. Just make sure you’re in great hiking shape so you can get the most enjoyment out of it.

What an incredible experience! The Tour du Mont Blanc (mini version) was everything I hoped for and more — stunning scenery, challenging but rewarding hikes, rustic mountain refuges, and a group of strangers who quickly became friends. It was the perfect mix of adventure, fresh air, and a complete reset from day-to-day life.

A very special mention has to go to our guide, Loïc. He was absolutely brilliant — knowledgeable, supportive, funny, and calm in every situation. He struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe, pushing us just the right amount, and making sure the whole group enjoyed every step (even those of us hobbling with sore knees and the occasional icky tummy!). His passion for the mountains really shone through and made the adventure even more memorable.

I couldn’t recommend this trip highly enough. Already planning to make this kind of adventure a yearly tradition.

Really enjoyable. Tough days but views kept getting better! Accomodation memorable! but group and guide great. Well organised and would highly recommend.

We were a 16 people group including our fantastic guide Susie! It was really a lovely experience!! The guide was fantastic and the experience was so nice and smooth!

Such a diverse and like-minded group of peoploe!! absolutely amazing!

This was my first multi-day hiking group trip, first time hiking in the Alps and first experience with Much Better Adventures. It was absolutely incredible! I was hesistant about booking, mainly due to uncertainty about being able to manage this sort of challenge and not having done anything solo since my early 20s. The group was friendly, supportive and great fun - I'd love to have a reunion hike with them all in the future. Loic was a fantastic guide, going out of his way to accommodate the needs of the group and encouraging us to challenge ourselves with optional extra loops for even more stunning views. I can't rate this trip highly enough and would love to do more trips with MBA. If you aren't sure about booking, just do it - you will not regret it and will have both memories and friends to last a lifetime.

4 days of touring Mont Blanc was a fantastic experience with MBA Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour. I could not recommend the trip enough

Very good, food, accommodation and group dynamic all very good.

If you’re going to do any sort of group travel, I don’t think I could recommend Much Better Adventures enough. Looking to meet outdoorsy and like-minded individuals who also go for a pint or two after a hiking day? Sign up now (the Brits know how to pair adventure with some silly fun and booking with MBA almost guarantees at least half of your group will come from the UK).

Our group was fabulous (a mix from Canada, the US, Ireland, England, Finland and Sweden) and our Happy Tracks guide, Valentin was simply the best. You want to have a guide that knows the mountains, that you trust, but also makes you feel safe throughout…and he nails it. I think our entire group would have extended our hike or will look into booking another hiking route on Val’s schedule.

Is it challenging? It depends on your fitness level, but either way, your group and guide will get you through it.

Beautiful trip with a great guide and really nice group of people. The hike was a very fun challenge.

I loved this trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better group to do this with or a better guide. Val made sure we were all okay throughout, and kept us laughing even at tough points along the way. I really enjoyed how the group was a mix of ages and people from all over the world. The Alps were stunningly beautiful, and while the hikes were challenging, the views made every step worth it. The accommodation was very different each night which really added to the experience. Whilst each place was different, they all had their own charm and good food. This was my second adventure through Much Better Adventures, and I’m already looking forward to booking the next one.

Incredible trip! Definitely recommend! Great guide, group. I was worried about not being able to “train” with elevation and hiking prior to the trip, but the hiking was easier than expected. Definitely a lot of uphill and downhill but the steady slower pace (with breaks) made it very manageable. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Incredibly well organized, professional, and amazing people. I went with my two kids in their 20’s and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had together. I’m looking forward to my next trip with them.

I went solo and met a fantastic group of 14! The itinerary was great and everything went smoothly w/ beautiful scenery all along the way. Already looking to book the next one!

One of the best trips I have ever done! Loved every minute. Want to book the full circuit now or other tours in the area. Lit guide was nice, humble and efficient

What a trip to be had! My 2nd time booking through MBA and it did not disappoint. A beautiful journey through three countries and with a group that honestly couldn't stop laughing! Each day was truly memorable and Nico was an amazing guide! One of the best trips of the year! Couldn't recommend it enough! One recommendation - bring stronger SPF! It can definitely get a bit crispy up there hehe :)

I had an absolutely wonderful long weekend on the TMB with Ninon. Blue skies meant perfect trekking conditions and spectacular views all round. The pace of the walks was good and the accommodation and food were all better than expected. Thanks Ninon and fellow trekkers for an idyllic weekend.

I had such a great time as a solo-hiker on the Tour du Mont Blanc. I really enjoyed getting to know the other hikers and our guide did a great job preparing us for the day and was able to read the group's needs well. The food, accommodations, and transfers were amazing!

I was a little nervous before going, as I didn't know what to expect. Our guide Oli was amazing and so informative. The refuges were lovely, and we were always fed well. We made lovely friends along the way. The hike was a little harder than expected, due to the inclines and very hot weather, but you were rewarded with amazing, breath taking views. Highly recommend this weekend.

I don’t think I quite have the words to articulate how much I loved this trip! It is a stunning part of the world, with some amazing views and scenery anyway. However, the skills, knowledge and wisdom of our guide Kirstie made the trip perfect. I cannot stress how brilliant she was with the group. We were a group of 15, mostly solo and a real mix of ages. Everyone was so friendly and interesting. It was my first trip of this type (aged 41) and I’ve already got my eyes on another one! Loved it.

Amazing experience! Our group of 15 was mostly couples from the UK and USA, the hut to hut experience was so much fun, we enjoyed eating and drinking together each evening, the beer was good and we had lots of laughs. Food isn't the best but considering the remote location of the huts its great! If you dont like cheese bring plenty of snacks!!! There were some great cafes and farthe on the trail who sold delicious cake and ice cream!.

The scenery is breathtaking from the start, the first hut is in a stunning location. The assent was challenging but the views were worth the effort. We had a swim in the lake which was a real treat for aching muscles. Walking poles are a must.

Our guide was Oli who was very experienced in this route, he looked after everyone and gave us handy tips. We will definitely br back in the future to do the full TMB.

Fantastic trip covering 3 countries and spectacular trails in a long weekend. We had a blast and enjoyed experiencing the different refuges and buvettes along the way. Our guide Ben was excellent and consistently made good decisions for the group, like delaying departure slightly on a rainy first day. His passion for the Alps shone though and he shared a lot of interesting facts about the topography and plants. It’s a tough hike but was more manageable than I feared, and we always made it to the refuges with plenty of time for a shower, a drink and to explore and chat a bit. Absolutely fantastic!

A fantastic adventure through Mont Blanc, only made better by our amazing guide Ninot, and our group of fellow travelers. Left the experience having gained a bunch of new friends and an appreciation for the mountains, and marmots.

This trek was amazing, from day 1 to the end. Guide Ben did a great job, and it was so nice to hike with a group with people from so many different countries. Perfect group size, a plus that the guide was flexible regarding how fast/slowly we wanted to hike. And nice huts along the route. I will recommend this trip to everyone - as long as they are able to hike up to 7-8 hours a day :)

The Trek was a trip of a lifetime for me. I traveled with my 2 adult daughters and we had an unforgettable time. Thank you and very grateful.

An unforgettable experience! The views were absolutely stunning, and our professional guide made sure we always knew what to expect. I’d only rate the hike as challenging because of the summer heat – there are some steep climbs, but no technical sections or scrambling. If you’re wondering about footwear, B-grade hiking boots are enough, and trail runners work too (you’ll actually get passed by runners on the way!). The group was the best I could have asked for – great energy and dynamics throughout. Huge thanks to Much Better Adventures for organising such a fantastic trip!

This was truly an unforgettable experience with some of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen. It was challenging yet doable, and Pavel did a fantastic job guiding us for four days. For those used to hotels, the Refugios are a change, but they offer a communal atmosphere that adds to the unique experience. Trekkers are a close knit community and I felt like I was with so many positive and like minded people. Thank you to MBA for a fantastic trip.

This trip exceeded my expectations and was smoothly planned and executed flawlessly. Anna the guide did a brilliant job keeping a group of 15 happy and together at all times. The scenery along the route was phenomenal and the whole trip very enjoyable.
