FAQs on hiking Mont Blanc

Where is Mont Blanc?

At 4,809 meters (15,778 feet), Mont Blanc stands tall as the highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe. It is located in the border region between France and Italy and is a part of the epic Mont Blanc massif. The mountain is famous for its distinctive snowy peak and unspoilt beauty, attracting climbers and hikers from around the world.

When is the best time to visit Mont Blanc?

The ideal time to visit Mont Blanc largely depends on the activities you have in mind. For hiking and trekking, the summer months between June to September typically see milder weather and longer daylight hours. This period has the most favourable weather conditions, with clear skies and minimal snowfall, meaning you can navigate the challenging terrain more easily. The longer daylight hours also provide ample time for longer treks and taking in the immense views of the surrounding landscapes. Whereas winter is perfect for skiing and snowboarding in the mountain resorts.

What tour options are available for exploring Mont Blanc?

At Exodus, we offer numerous tour options for exploring Mont Blanc, suitable for various interest and fitness levels. From guided hiking tours and camping expeditions to premium adventures where you’ll stay at the classic Italian resort, Courmayeur, and experience some of the most outstanding sections that showcase the immensity and grandeur of Mont Blanc. Alternatively, if you’d just like to enjoy a short break, you can book a five-day trip which introduces you to the highlights of the region. Or perhaps you’d prefer to follow the long-distance Haute Route, passing beneath 10 alpine peaks from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn.

Do I need prior hiking or climbing experience for the Tour du Mont Blanc?

While some of tours require prior hiking or climbing experience, we also have many options available for beginners and less seasoned hikers. However, even when embarking on the lower graded activity tours, you will still need to have a reasonable degree of fitness. Our guided tours are led by experts who can assist you with both navigation and safety, making them more accessible for anyone with less hiking experience. Find out more about our activity level guidelines, which will help you choose a tour that matches your skill level and physical fitness.

Are there any safety considerations for touring Mont Blanc?

Your safety is always paramount to us. Given the rugged terrain and unpredictable weather conditions of Mont Blanc, it is essential to be well-prepared with the appropriate gear, including sturdy hiking boots and warm clothing. We recommend keeping up to date with the current weather forecast and trail conditions, as well as following the guidance of our experienced guides, which can help ensure a safe and enjoyable tour. Although most of our routes are non-technical, there are some sections where you may need to use a fixed sloping ladder and metal footsteps to traverse steeper parts. The high alpine paths are well maintained, but they can be rough underfoot with loose rocks in places, so you need to be extra careful with you footing and balance.

What are the best things to do on a tour of Mont Blanc?

A tour of Mont Blanc is filled with iconic sights and unique experiences. Starting with the epic Mont Blanc itself, Europe’s highest peak, you’ll witness towering glaciers and immense snow-covered peaks. You’ll also have the chance to explore charming towns and villages like Chamonix and Courmayeur, where you can explore the impressive architecture and soak up the vibrant culture. Don’t miss the stunning Mer de Glace glacier, accessible by a historic cog railway, and hike through lush alpine meadows to cascading waterfalls, keeping your eye out for the diverse wildlife along the way. And make sure you treat yourself to some of the regional delicacies and local wines.

Is there a premium option for Mont Blanc?

Yes, we feature a premium Mont Blanc tour, which means you can explore this mighty peak and the surroundings in total comfort. This is a twin centre trip with 4-star accommodation based in both Chamonix and the beautiful Italian resort, Courmayeur. Each of the hotels provides you with a high level of comfort and first-class service. In the evenings, relax with a Jacuzzi, sauna or Turkish bath, soak up the panoramic mountain views and enjoy warm alpine hospitality.

It was a challenging hiking trip but it’s worth every second of it. The scenery, the group and the accommodations are great.

Cita Wong Tour du Mont Blanc Hotel Trek

Exodus Travel provided excellent trip planning and booking support. They followed up with timely information. A great adventure travel company! The TBM camping trek itself was very demanding but at the same time thrilling and rewarding. I found the ascents and descents to be equally difficult and challenging. My stamina, endurance and physical skills were continuously tested. The panoramas were exquisite and at every twist and turn along the trail, I was surprised by another equally beautiful scene. I completed the trek feeling healthier and stronger.
