Where to go walking in the French Alps

Alpine walking holidays are hard to beat. Just to gaze at the mighty mountains gives a tingle of excitement. Our hotel-to-hotel hike along the Tour du Mont Blanc promises a real sense of journey as you progress from France into Italy and Switzerland, through ever-changing scenery that includes waterfalls, glaciers, beautiful valleys and the awe-inspiring peaks of the Mont Blanc massif.

For those who wish to experience the same impressive scenery but don't have a week and a half to spare, we also offer A Taste of Mont Blanc, a shorter, two-centre holiday featuring the main highlights from the Tour du Mont Blanc.
