With its rich mountaineering history and unsurpassed cultural diversity, this corner of Europe has an irresistible attraction for the world’s adventurers, climbers and hikers. Mont Blanc itself, at 4807 metres (15,770 feet), is the high point of the range and the biggest peak in Western Europe. This great new trip picks out the best of the daily stages of the Tour du Mont Blanc and links them by short vehicle transfers.
