Request to Book

Our exclusive "DELUXE" version of the Highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc trip - is an experience that elevates your journey to new heights. We've curated this trip to provide you with your own twin or double room (exclusively shared just with one other person).

With "DELUXE", no more shared dorms. This level of comfort on the TMB is a rare gem for this price, as accommodations are typically limited and hard to secure.

On this Highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc journey, we use a mix of private and public transfers, along with the téléphérique system, to link together the very best sections of the TMB. This allows you to complete the full circuit in just six days—skipping only the asphalt and dirt road stretches.

It’s perfect for hikers short on time but still wanting the full experience of the trail’s most stunning moments.

This is a 72-mile / 116 km adventure through the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. Consistently ranked among the world’s top ten “must-do” treks, the TMB offers high alpine meadows, glaciers, clear mountain streams, snow-capped peaks, glacial lakes, and Mont Blanc itself. And of course, the physical and mental challenge that makes this trail unforgettable.

Our Tour du Mont Blanc—Vagabond Trails style—is all-inclusive*, fully curated, and deeply meaningful.

We take care of every detail with care and intention, so you can focus on what really matters: the trail beneath your feet, the beauty around you, and the transformation unfolding within.

Just train, pack your bags, and show up ready to hike.

Is this tour suitable for me?

If you have hiking experience this tour is for you. The route is challenging, but it does not require any technical climbing skills. However, you do need to be fit enough to cover the daily distance and elevation gain described in the itinerary below.

We've planned the trip so that when you reach the next overnight accommodation, you'll have time to unwind, enjoy a glass of wine, read a book, and savor the breathtaking views. On certain days, you can reduce the distance by using a cable car or public transportation.

Our trips are not just trips; they are journeys of self-discovery where you will feel challenged, alive, and reconnected. If you crave adventure and personal growth, you've found the right experience.

What if I am traveling solo?

More than 40% of our guests join solo, and many of them tell us it was the best decision they ever made. You’ll quickly feel part of a tribe of like-minded adventurers.

We don’t charge single supplements for solo travelers, because adventure should be accessible, no matter how you arrive.

I’m a Woman Traveling Alone. Is This Trip for Me?

Absolutely. Many of our female guests join solo. You don’t need to wait for a friend or partner to say yes. You’ll be surrounded by supportive hikers, incredible guides, and the freedom to reconnect with yourself in the mountains.

We understand that traveling solo can feel intimidating. But it might help to know that our tours often have a 50/50 gender split, and a welcoming, inclusive vibe from day one.

Take the leap, you won’t regret it.
You’ll feel empowered, free, and wonder why you didn’t travel solo sooner.

I have never done a multi-day hiking adventure

In fact, 95% of the hikers who join us have never done a multi-day adventure before.

If you can handle the distance and elevation outlined in the itinerary below, you’ll be more than ready.

The multi-day journey builds strength and confidence, mile by mile, day by day—and that’s part of both the challenge and the magic.

Bags Transfer

To keep your hike light and joyful, we’ll transfer your main luggage from hut to hut daily. All you need to carry is your daily bag and the essentials.

Classic vs. Deluxe — Two Ways to Experience the Magic

Our CLASSIC trips blends comfort while offering a truly authentic experience.
You’ll enjoy 3 nights in 4-star hotels (in Chamonix and Courmayeur) and 4 nights in mountain huts/refuges in gender-mixed shared dorms. These refuges offer the heart of the TMB experience, cozy and unforgettable. Staying in refuges is a special part of the adventure that many consider the soul of the journey.

Looking for a bit more privacy after your days on the trail?

Our DELUXE trips follow the same breathtaking route with one key difference: each night, you’ll rest in a private twin or double room, shared with just one other person. Most accommodations on the DELUXE experience are 4-star hotels, offering added comfort at the end of each day. Please refer to the itinerary for full details.

Because of the limited availability of private rooms, space on our DELUXE trip is extremely limited, so this option is extra special and books up quickly.

No matter which you choose, this is a journey that will stay with you long after your footprints fade from the trail.

Expert Guides

You’ll be guided by some of the best and most experienced guides in the Alps, all certified International Mountain Leaders. They’re passionate about their work and committed to keeping you safe while ensuring you fully enjoy the adventure.

One Last Thing…

Please review the itinerary carefully and make sure your fitness aligns with the daily requirements. If you have any doubts or questions, we’re here to help.

This is your adventure. Let’s make it everything you hope it will be.
