Tour Overview
For those who like to enjoy the comfort of a bed every night we offer the Mont Blanc circuit as a fully accommodated trek, with all nights spent in a variety of lodgings from small hotels to basic inns or pensions. Many of the places we use do not have a star rating but offer a warm and friendly welcome; rooms will be twin, double or triple and will have shared bathrooms. The itinerary is essentially the same as on the camping version: using our detailed route notes and maps you will still complete the famous circuit, and your baggage will be transported for you by our support vehicle. In some places you will use a hotel for just one night, before moving on the next day; occasionally you will settle in for a few nights and use local transport to take you to the next point of the circuit.
