Add your own reviewTour Of Mont Blanc Hike. A Dream Come To Reality
Our guide and group completed this awesome-inspiring adventure with joy, satisfaction and with memories that will last a lifetime.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the high point of every day. In particular reaching the Col De Tricot. Wild flowers lining the countless zigzags to reach the Col, with incredible views of the higher mountains on multiple sides and with a supportive group and leader.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eagle was a confident, resourceful, and king group who led our group and kept us going at a satisfactory pace that balanced the schedule with the physical abilities of our group, the personal preferences for enjoying the journey, landscape and food, and doing it with tactful and considerate guidelines for achieving our daily hike goals. I have only praise for Eagle, would recommend her to hikers from any level and would gladly journey with her at the next opportunity. She has incredible resilience, physical endurance, a fine sense of humor and always a thoughtful word for the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack light, and then lighten your selections. Worry not about having all you might need but learn to make do with the bare minimum in your backpack. Simply focus on enjoying the hike itself by not being overly burdened. Ask for Egle as your guide!!!
Awesome holiday
A great week walking in the Alps, magnificent views, changing terrain, good company and food, pleasant accommodation and a very competent leader
Most Inspirational Moment
It was all great, with a new highlight everyday. Lac Blanc on the final day was magnificent but some of the quieter locations were also very special
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader was great, clearly a very competent mountaineer, with strong knowledge of the flora and fauna as well as the local terrain. Egle also had a great good humoured manner of keeping the group together whilst letting people find their pace.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Consider also the other variant TMB holidays that Exodus offer. This one is probably the toughest! Carrying all you kit in a backpack in hot weather is hard work, believe most of us wish we had packed lighter!
Do not miss this trip
A challenging, awe inspiring hike!
Cool evenings and unseasonably warm days in the valleys. Great friends made. Wildlife discovered. Windy cold and amazing summits. Fresh local produce and cheeses.
Most Inspirational Moment
Looking down on field after field of lush green pastures full of wild flowers and being surrounded by snow covered peaks, while hearing the streams rushing by and cow bells over the next ridge.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle is exceptionally suited to lead groups through these mountains. She truly loves them and shared that love of the mountains with her group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take training for this hike very seriously. Be sure to practice ascents and even more descents on loose footing.
Challenging and Rewarding Trek
This was my first group trek and my first multi day hike. It was absolutely gorgeous and also very challenging at times. The scenery was stunning. Every day was very long with a lot of climbing and descending which came with some extremely rewarding views. There were 10 of us in the group and we all got along great. At the end of the day we all looked forward to a shower and sitting together having a beer before dinner.
Most Inspirational Moment
On the second to last day there is a 600m vertical to climb via switchbacks. It was hot and challenging but at the top we sat and enjoyed our lunch looking out over the valley and really just soaking in what we had accomplished. Then the hike continued along a ridge between a glacier and another valley. The entire day was just soul healing from the exertion from the climb and being surrounded by the natural beauty.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was exceptional. She was extremely professional and had a very strong quiet leader approach. She could answer any questions that were posed to her about the wildlife, flowers, or landscape. She really let us have the hike each of us needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Training for this trek is absolutely necessary. It is important to make sure you can enjoy the experience and not just get through it.
Challenging and so rewarding!
This was my first time on a group trip, and I signed up with a few friends. Loved everyone in the group, and meeting so many different people really added to my experience. The sections of the TBM are challenging and gorgeous. It is an incredible area of the world.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many, but the non-stop views, wildflowers, and wildlife spotting!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Egle was an excellent guide! I can't recommend her enough. All of us on the trip kept saying how her energy and knowledge really added to our experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Several of the days are straight up and then straight down, so train to be prepared for lots of elevation gain and loss. And pack light! We washed clothes in the sink each evening so we only needed two outfits.
Feedback about the tour
A very well arranged tour. Really beautiful mountains and landscapes. Some days were tough but inspiring and at the end a great sense of accomplishment and adventure.
Most Inspirational Moment
Crossing over from Switzerland into Italy over a beautiful pass and then again from Italy into France over another beautiful pass.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eagle. A very good and knowledgeable guide. Very professional and experienced person.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel light and use good quality shoes.
Beautiful week in the Alps!
I booked this trip last minute to join my mum and cousin and I have no regrets! It was an amazing week of trekking in the most glorious scenery, with an utterly lovely bunch of people. I spent lots of time in the Alps as a child, so this trip was not only nostalgic but also brought me to brand-new places. It was definitely a challenging week but in the best way possible. We were very lucky to have Mariá as our guide, he was generous, kind and patient with us all, sharing his extensive knowledge of the mountains, ecology and wildlife along the way and making us all feel part of the team. The accommodation and food were amazing, despite my awkward dietary requirements, each hotel was a delight in its own way and offered far more comfort than I was expecting. I left the week feeling heart-full and accomplished. What more could you ask for. I highly recommend this trip!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mariá was a brilliant guide, he showed consistent care for each member of the group, patience and kindness throughout. He was great company and shared his extensive knowledge along the way.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack light, wear in your boots and size up a little to avoid blisters, embrace the grind uphill, the views are worth it!
Amazing, challenging and rewarding
We’ve just returned from this trip and it was amazing. The views are stunning on this trip, Maria was our guide and he was just great. He got us safely round, motivated us when we needed it and was a pleasure to spend time with. The lodges are great, there’s towels and shower gel provided. Some had hairdryers but not all. After a days trekking it was great to have a few drinks and a nice meal with the group, we did the pack ups just for easiness which were pricier but good, there were more options for buying your own stuff the second half of the trek. We ended up with 8kg in our bags and we had everything we needed, packing lightly is the key as you’ve also got water and pack up to carry! Fitness wise it’s a hard but doable trip, the fitter you are the more you’ll enjoy it, the uphills are a slog but the views are worth it. We personally found walking poles a necessity, they saved my joints a lot especially on the downhills. We had a few dips in the rivers but just in our walking gear, it was cold but very refreshing at the end of the day! The last two nights we spent in Chamonix and it was great to have your spare bag for fresh clothes and a few little luxury’s. Highly recommend this trip, if your in doubt just book it, Exodus are a great company to travel with, thanks again Maria for being a great guide!
Most Inspirational Moment
The views on the high passes are just stunning! Finishing everyday feeling like you’ve accomplished something.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Maria was just brilliant, he had the right level of letting us get on with it and managing us when we needed it. He was friendly, personable, funny, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. We had some lovely evenings with him, he was great with anyone that was struggling and went above and beyond to help them.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack lightly, follow the trip notes for what you need. Walking poles helped massively. The pack ups are pricier but nice, bed your boots in, take blister plasters if in doubt!
Tour du Mont Blanc Week-Sept 2023
The most epic adventure of my life! Booking and traveling with Exodus was so easy. The communication and responsiveness by the agents was so very helpful in planning my trip. The packing and training tips provided were extremely helpful also. The spectacular views were non-stop. The accommodations were lovely and comfortable and our guide, Hristian, was an absolute rockstar!
Most Inspirational Moment
The views were spectacular and inspirational every day but the defining moment for me was the 5th day ascent to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme. It was the longest and most difficult climb of the trip and making it to the top was a defining moment for me personally. All of the people in my group were supportive of each other the whole entire week and some life long friends were made.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We could not have asked for a better group leader. Hristian was knowledgeable about the area, the terrain, each day's challenges, the history and so much more. His extensive experience was very evident and comforting. His friendly, calm demeanor made everyone feel comfortable and he made sure to keep the pace suitable to everyone in the group. Hris truly went over and above for me and the others in the group. The best example is when he carried the packs of 2 of us so that we could make the final cable car of the day down on day 5! His ever present smile and his sense of humor made my experience one I will never forget! Our group became a family for the week and we can thank Hris for that!
Advice for Potential Travellers
TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN!! Follow the training guidelines at a minimum and do not pack or plan to carry anything that is not absolutely essential for the 6 days. Slow down and enjoy the beauty of the people and the scenery that surround you every day!
A superb week in three countries
This is a great trip hiking through three countries and experiencing the best of the Tour du Mont Blanc. We had a great guide – Augustine – who led us safely through all the hikes. We had variable weather – but this was fine. However, come prepared for all weathers, even in the height of summer. The walking is quite challenging and the fitter you are, the more the walks will be enjoyed. Make sure you come with spending money – and Swiss francs are useful for the first couple of days in Switzerland, even though the trip notes say euros are fine (you’ll get a better deal with francs). Switzerland is, obviously, more expensive than Italy and France. Self-catering for packed lunches is quite easy, with local shops etc. If you buy packed lunches, they are over-priced, although generally very good. Included breakfasts and dinners are, overall, excellent. Accommodation – very comfortable and fit for purpose. The hotel in Forclaz, on day one, is the least impressive. Some trip notes details are not as accurate as they could be. This is a superb walking trip through a beautiful area of Europe. It is well worth the expense.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking in stunning locations and feeling humbled - too many to mention!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent - Augustine clearly loves his job and this was obvious from day 1 to departure day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take sufficient spending money in euros and some francs, too. Make sure you have enough warm clothes, as well as waterproofs. I recommend a pair of slippers/sandals in your day pack for evening wear. Make sure your walking boots/shoes are supportive and very comfortable. And - enjoy it!
