Family Tour du Mont Blanc Walkin

Family Tour du Mont Blanc Walkin Overview

Mini trek for teenagers around Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps

The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world's classic walks, and mindful of the adventurous families out there who want to enjoy some of the world's best walks together, we have created this itinerary especially for families with children who want to walk the Tour du Mont Blanc. Meeting in Chamonix, the Alpine mountaineering capital, we begin our journey through 3 countries, France, Italy and Switzerland to complete the best parts of the Mont Blanc circuit. After a day's introductory walk up to lovely Lac Blanc, we return to our very comfortable chalet-style accommodation for a second night. We spend the next 5 days trekking our mini-tour, starting the walk from the door of our chalet. Our route includes several famous pass crossings including the Col de Balme, Col du Forclaz and the Grand Col Ferret (2537m). Along the way we'll see alpine cows, mountain farms, some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe and spend a night at the Rifugio Elena (2061m). All other accommodation will be in simple but comfortable hotels and there's no need to carry heavy bags as our baggage will be transported from accommodation to the next, except for our 1 night in the hut. It’s a great adventure for the children. This is an excellent introduction to multi-day walking in some of Europe’s most stunning scenery and mountains.
