Overview
The classic circuit around Mont Blanc, crossing three countries without ever losing sight of the massif. The route climbs over high alpine passes into deep valleys, through larch forest and past glacial moraine, linking traditional villages in France, Italy, and Switzerland along the way. Nine days is enough to feel the mountain change character from every angle — glaciers to the north, pastureland to the south.
