  • Tour du Mont Blanc Full Circuit, PRIVATE ROOMS (self-guided tour; 12 days) reviewer 1
    · September 9th, 2023
    We had an amazing time hiking the Tour de Mont Blanc. Apart from a misunderstanding about beds on the first 2 nights we were provided with superb and very varied accommodation throughout, meals were great, and fortunately had good weather. The routeplanner maps were at times unclear and misleading but we mainly used the NGR maps, supplied. The route followed by this guide does not include all sections of the TMB and we did add in a couple of extra sections from the maps where possible. The initial 3 or 4 days were much easier than expected and we could have walked for another 2 or 3 hours these days and then managed the full circuit. It would have been better for us to get the cable car direct from Chamonix instead of missing this section and starting at Flegere. We had many free hours that day when we arrived at the destination. Otherwise superb organisation, bags always waiting.... And when I got injured I was, taken with my bag to the next hotel no trouble at all!

    Top! Top! Top! A must-do walk, which you will never forget. Especially if you are coming from the lowlands, like us :-) We have nothing to compain about. Even the weather was great throughout the week, with the exception of one thunderstorm later in the afternoon, which we fully enjoyed having just arrived in our hotel.

    This tour is awesome! No wonder so many people flock here. While most people walk counter-clockwise, we explicitly wanted to do the tour clockwise as this has loads of advantages like meeting new people every day, meeting crowds only around noon while the you enjoy calmness during the rest of the day etc. For those who are still undecided I can only recommend to book immediately!
