I toured Mont Blanc in September with my girlfriend through the Trekking Mont Blanc agency. We really enjoyed the calm in the shelters, the beauty of nature and the changing colors. Above all, we had an excellent time with our guide and the whole group, wonderful encounters! Thank you all for this incredible adventure.

I absolutely do not recommend doing the Tour du Mont Blanc with Trekking Mont Blanc. My experience with this agency was disastrous. The guide I had was unprofessional, to the point of ruining my trip. Faced with this situation, I was forced to leave the stay in the middle, without any understanding or assistance from the agency. No compensation, no consideration: just a wasted trip. As a doctor and hiking enthusiast, I am used to participating in this type of expedition, and it is the worst experience I have ever had. In addition, beware of hidden costs: taxis for hiking departures and returns not mentioned at registration, which will be your responsibility. Move on and choose a more serious agency!

Very beautiful Trek, very well organized and with a guide (Mathieu) who was able to share his love and knowledge of the mountains with us. To do again but with knees in better condition 🤣
