The legendary circuit of the Northern Alps, the Tour du Mont-Blanc, offers a unique panorama. During this hike, you can appreciate the beauty of the Mont-Blanc massif and discover the natural and cultural heritage of Valais, Valle d'Aosta, and Pays du Mont Blanc. Departing from the Chamonix Valley, you will traverse mountain trails through France, Switzerland, and Italy.

Our Tour du Mont Blanc Family is designed to allow you to share discoveries and emotions with your children.
A specific selection of routes and the guidance of your mountain guide are dedicated to exploring mountain life, tailored to the age of the children.
Two nights in mountain refuges ensure total immersion in the mountains for an even more comprehensive experience.
