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.

I recently returned from an unforgettable hiking trip with Exodus, exploring the breathtaking Mont Blanc highlights, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived in Chamonix, we were enveloped by the stunning beauty of the Alps. Our chalet was a true gem, offering incredible views of Mont Blanc that made every morning feel magical.

Chamonix itself is a vibrant hub, bursting with life, charming shops, and delicious eateries. Even though we experienced a couple of cloudy and rainy days, the weather didn’t dampen our spirits or our hikes. In fact, the dramatic skies only added to the allure of the landscape, enhancing the beauty of each trail we traversed.

A standout moment of the trip was our free day when we took the Aiguille du Midi cable car to the summit of Mont Blanc. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, a highlight that I will cherish forever.

Our guide, Jeffry, was exceptionally professional and organized, making sure that everything ran smoothly throughout our adventure. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the region really brought the experience to life. Additionally, we were so well cared for by our chalet hosts, Tom and Sol, who made our stay comfortable and welcoming. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home.

Overall, this hiking trip was a perfect blend of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and wonderful company. I can’t wait for my next adventure with Exodus!

Michelle MacEachern Mont Blanc Highlights

Hiking on Mont Blanc, even late in the season was an experience not to be missed. The weather, though mixed, never stopped our itineraries and we had glorious sunshine on several days. Chamonix and the mountain range are awesome, naturally, but it was the combination of the area with the most welcoming and caring chalet team and the warm artistic vibe of the Art Deco Chalet Bediere that gave this trip such a special place in my heart. Jeffry Oonk, an erudite biologist as well as an experienced and patient mountain guide gave expert guidance and confidence on every section (some quite challenging) of the trails; his instruction, patience and good humour, coupled with a quiet “Well Done” at the end of each trek, was so up-lifting. Clare and Liz made Chalet Bediere a warm and welcoming place; they both went to huge efforts to provide a happy atmosphere, excellent and varied meals and some of the most delicious cakes for afternoon tea, you could imagine. I’m so happy that I was assigned to this particular chalet, with such a brilliant team. We had a small but fabulous group of five; conversations on the hikes and in the chalet were stimulating and full of banter and laughter. I honestly was gutted to leave and end the experience. Thank you to both our chalet team and my group for the most memorable week 💖

Ilona Jamieson Mont Blanc Highlights

A great week’s walking in the mountains around Mont Blanc. First off, a big thank you to the team – Jeffry, Liz and Clare – who were excellent. We had pretty good weather given that it was the end of the season. In fact the first day was spectacular – blue skies and sunshine – making for some memorable photos. Jeff is an exemplary guide, showing amazing dedication to his job. He gave us all the information we wanted and more – he’s quite fond of plants me thinks, and knows a lot about them. Our walks always started with a through warm up session, and then the ascent could begin. Quite steep sometimes, but Jeff was always on hand to help anybody of a more nervous disposition on the more challenging sections. And if all that wasn’t enough – he has a good sense of humour too. Liz and Clare were expert chalet hosts – the breakfast was just right, and there was even porridge offered on some days. The lunch items were varied and tasty, and the cake waiting for us at the end of each walk was very welcome. Really nice food for dinner too. Plenty of variety throughout the week. The chalet La Bedière is based in Chamonix and for me is the best of the three on offer unless you really like hot tubs. Nicely furnished, amazingly warm and good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Centrally located – just ideal.
