I was born and raised on the seaside, but was soon enthralled by the mountains. I have traveled, hiked, climbed, skied, cycled all over Italy (and beyond) most of my life. . . until one day I decided I wanted to turn my passion into a profession, and went through a long and difficult process to be certified as a hiking guide! I am a fully qualified hiking guide (International Mountain Leader), as well as a licensed tour leader. I offer a variety of guided walks and hikes, mostly in the Alps. I particularly like the Aosta Valley mountains, which are within easy reach of the cities of Northern Italy, by either car or public transport. This is a fantastic areas for those who love being in the outdoors. . . and I look forward to sharing my passion and enthusiasm with all of you! Certified hiking guide (accompagnatore di media montagna) - Piedmont Region, #IT21C00004 International mountain leader (UIMLA certified) Licensed tour leader (accompagnatore turistico) - Province of Milan, #153 I am licensed as a hiking guide and a tour leader. I am not licensed as a tourist guide. This means that I can lead you on hiking trails and on any kind of tour, but cannot guide you inside museums or historical monuments.

A scenic hike in sight of mighty Mont Blanc
Overview of your Aosta tour
Everybody knows that Mont Blanc is Western Europe's tallest mountain. Not everybody knows that the mountain straddles the border between Italy and France! This hike will allow you to experience the great outdoors and take in the best views of the Italian side of Mont Blanc. The walk is technically easy, but rather strenuous, and is doable typically between May and October, when the area is snow free. PLEASE NOTE: THIS TOUR IS NOT OFFERED IN WINTER, DUE TO A POTENTIAL RISK OF AVALANCHES IN THE AREA. As a professional hiking guide (mountain leader), I have a deep knowledge of the trails in the region. I guarantee you -- this one is a trail not to be missed! The views of the mountains and glaciers are to die for!
Your Aosta tour itinerary
The tour starts in Courmayeur, a small town at the foot of Mont Blanc. Courmayeur can be reached by car or bus from the city of Aosta in 50 minutes. We will take a free shuttle bus up the Val Ferret (transit time 30 minutes). We will then hike up to the Rifugio Bonatti, a lovely mountain hut (coffee break possible), hence continue on the beautiful 'balcony trail' that follows the valley contour, with incredible views on Mont Blanc itself, as well as its satellite peaks of Grandes Jorasses, Aiguille de Rochefort, etc. We will then walk down to the road and return to Courmayeur and Aosta by bus. The hike is about 7 km long, with a 500 meters elevation gain/loss, and takes approx. 4 hours in total, excluding breaks.
