Cloud 9 Adventure is a small independent adventure travel company run by Emma Jack. They offer expert guiding services in and around Chamonix Valley and further afield.
The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the classic trekking journeys in the world, covering 166km with 10,000m of ascent and descent, covering three countries.
The highlights route takes you over varied terrain including rugged cols and ridges, high alpine villages, remote farms and ancient Roman towns. You will see plenty of alpine flora and fauna. As well as Mont Blanc, you should have fantastic views of many other famous peaks in the area.
This tour is perfect for those short on time, but who don't want to compromise the best bits. Vehicle transfers are used to link up the highlights, so the circuit takes only 7 days instead of the classic 10-day tour. See the full itinerary below.
