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!
The tour starts in the city of Aosta. We will take a bus to Courmayeur, a town at the foot of Mont Blanc, (travel time about 50 minutes from Aosta city center), hence 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.
