Trek the Tour du Mont Blanc: The Full Circuit

A truly wonderful 10 days with the best group of people I could have asked for! The mountains are beautiful in the fall — highly recommend going in September for cooler temps and gorgeous fall colors. Can’t speak more highly of this trip and our guide, Val!

Fantastic trip! It was very well organized and the food was plentiful. Amazing views everyday!!

I had such a good trip. Our guide, Val , was exceptional. He took us on variants that were less crowded and meet our groups high fitness level. He made sure the tailor the trip for our level and desire and also kept up a great team spirit.

Really enjoyed this tour - it was well organised, smooth communication with the organiser before and after the trip, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and great leader.

We were 12 people in the group, the leader made sure everyone was comfortable with the pace, there were also times that we could walk at our own pace when the route allowed.

Mountain huts were cosy and clean, all had hot showers and amount of food (3 courses every night!) exceeded my expectations.

Just to mention, lunch packs included chocolate bars, biscuits, apples and other snacks (varied by days) - this was more than sufficient for days hikes, also, there was access to supermarkets several days and cafes on the way - would recommend to be mindful with bringing your own snacks as I wasn't able to consume mine over 10 days :)

Our tour leader Nick was very experienced, knowledgeable, organised and friendly - he kept us informed on the plan for the following days, what to expect and how to prepare. He knew the area very well but did not overload us with information, however, if asked, would generously share tips and recommendations. Couldn't have asked for a better leader.

And finally, the group of people that joined this tour was amazing - feeling grateful to have shared this experience with everyone, one of the best trips I've ever had!

Beautiful circuit with amazing views from all sides. Tour group were really friendly and guide was great! Highly recommend :)

We had a fabulous trip and the group dynamics were great, made new friends from different countries. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

Really enjoyable trip - a satisfying physical challenge with time to enjoy beautiful surroundings, all in great company.

This was my first time doing a group hike/adventure and it completely blew my expectations out of the water! The guide (Fernando) was absolutely amazing and the group (all girls) was incredible!

What an amazing experience this 10 day Tour du Mont Blanc Trek turned out to be. Much better adventures(Happy Tracks) did a wonderful job! Our guide Azu was fantastic!! She was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and did a great job managing all 12 of us.

I would definitely recommend the trek and the company. Thank you again Azu and team.

An amazing journey with challenging climbs and incredible views. Our guide Azu was amazing!

Amazing!!!

Just returned from this trek yesterday and couldn’t be happier. Our guide, Azu, was astonishing. Everything planned with military precision, constant support, always smiling and unforgettable impressions of every animal we passed (the Swiss Black cows were a particular favourite). One dozen strangers quickly became friends and the group dynamic was near perfect. It’s worth saying that to enjoy this trek you need to be open to some discomfort. . some of the mixed dorms are “bijou Rodney, bijou” but that all added to the experience for me. Life changing experience and I have returned a happy chap.

Having a tour guide knows all the in and out of the alps really makes a difference. While being active helps on this trip, but this is a 10 day, 102 miles of grueling up and downs. You will be exhausted all the time after day one and continue in that state for the next 9 days. Our tour guide teaches us how to hike better in challenge sections, how to conserve energy, and at time when we walk through avalanche zone, she showed us how to and where to step. I feel we avoid a lot of shady situations with our guide as she continues to provide good judgement calls. Of course, she challenges our limit as well, base off the groups comfort level, we went to a lot of variation, which is such a fun and unique experience. Trust me, as a first time TMB goer, you won't opt for that as some of the trails are non-existent to first timer.

Highly recommend!

Great for mountain scenery, balance of gentler and more challenging sections. A variety of interesting accommodations. Great to have Oli leading and dining with us. The group was fun and well balanced

From start to finish the views are absolutely incredible. The days were challenging but our guide, Ninon, was excellent and ensured the enjoyment and most importantly safety of everyone in the group (and others along the trail!). There was a massive mix of ages (21-70), and almost everyone was a solo traveller, everyone got on well and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Book onto this trip, you will not regret it.

This tour around Mont Blanc was truly a wonderful experience. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking and stunning throughout. The trip was also very well organized, and our guide, Ninon, was fantastic. She made sure everyone was enjoying themselves while staying safe along the trail. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable adventure. It was slightly challenging at times, but definitely worth it!

I had a great time on the TMB - the first few days were hard, but once we got into the rhythm (and thanks to some shorter days) it got easier! We had a great guide - who was both knowledgable and patient, which made a huge difference to the trip.

Excellent trip, excellent weather ,excellent company ,excellent experience. Arantxa our guide was excellent and we had a wonderful experience over the 10 days

Every. Single. Day. was filled with epic views which made the work of the hike worth it. The hike and logistics were well-handled. I would recommend this trip!

The trek is correctly described as “challenging”, you need endurance, but we were blessed with great weather, a vibrant group and an inspirational guide. Stating the obvious, but good weather gives heavenly views, in turn making the trek seem shorter and offsetting the 10 day absence of sleep, vegetables and most creature comforts. We were lucky.

We had good weather and a capable group, so we were able to do the Col des Tricot, Col des Fours and Fenêtre d'Arpette variants (well worth the effort!). Aranxta, our guide, went above and beyond to make sure the everyone was supported. Accommodation/food quality was mixed but a good choice for the budget conscious traveller, and always in spectacular locations. Luggage transfer option was appreciated.

Note: you need to factor in an extra unguided day if you want complete the full circuit, finishing back at the official starting point in Les Houches.

Everything went right. Guide was knowledgeable, patient and kind, weather was fantastic, flowers were in boom, group dynamic was cohesive and supportive, accommodation was as expected and fun, etc etc. . . couldn't have asked for more from this trip. One piece of advice for future hikers, go in June! Weather is cooler (still warm), water is high, flowers are in bloom and peak crowds have not arrived yet. Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this trip.

The trek was amazing and much better than I could imagine. We were super lucky with conditions as well in mid June (still considered early season) as it didn't rain and the weather was perfect. Our guide, Pavel, was awesome and was very knowledgable about the route, on top of being just a cool person. The group was composed of all solo travelers and we all got along great. Would recommend!

A wonderful experience walking around the Mt Blanc Massif with a great group of enthusiastic hikers. We had a brilliant local guide Pavel, (Happy Tracks) who was always patient, organised and kept the group together putting our safety first. Plan carefully and test all gear on some long hikes beforehand is the best advice I could give!

A fantastic experience, helped by mostly very good weather and a well matched group of people. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Each day's walk was well paced with distance and climbs that left us tired at the end of the day but not exhausted. I would highly recommend Much Better Adventures to anyone who wants to walk the TMB.

Had an absolutely fantastic time hiking the Tour Du Mont Blanc - everything was organised so well, I didn’t have to worry about anything except turning up at the start (and keep putting one foot in front of the other!).

I joined the tour as a solo traveller and made fantastic friends. There was a range of ages (27-61 on my trip) which is great and everyone was lovely. I was worried at the start that I might not be able to keep up with everyone, it’s a challenging trek and a good level of fitness is required. However our guide Pavel was absolutely fantastic, he kept the group together well, set a great pace which meant everyone could cope well and he was super friendly.

We stayed in a mixture of dormitories, a hotel and mountain huts, which also mostly have other trekkers staying in them. Breakfast, lunch and dinners are provided which is great too.

The information and kit list Much Better Adventures provides is fantastic and tells you everything you need to know. This is my first MBA tour but I’ll definitely be booking more.

I had the best time on the trek! Our guide, Nick, was funny, motivating, welcoming and friendly, keeping us on track and paying attention to the needs of the group. He hit some absolutely amazing weather windows for us and made even the rainy days a fun adventure. Our group was hilarious and supportive - everyone looked out for one another and came together to help push each other through the difficult portions of the trail. Accommodations were comfortable, and the bunk beds/communal rooms were absolutely part of the fun. Nick prepared some INCREDIBLE picnic lunches for us on several of the days and the refuges prepared pack lunches on the other days that were great as well. Dinners at the Refugios were fine, some better than others, but always filling and hearty, and it was so wonderful to be able to grab beers with the group when we got back to the Refugio’s and share some laughs about the day. We did the luggage transfer service and it was so convenient and really helped out on what would otherwise have been an extremely challenging trek for us as less-experienced hikers. 10/10, would recommend to anyone! Highly recommend working out/training your ankles/feet for the off-camber trails - I think that would have helped a lot.

I highly recommend this trip, scenery was spectacular and it was wonderful to share it with a group of wonderful people from around the world

We had a fantastic trip, led by Nick who was fantastic.
