Highlights of the trip
A week in the mountains lies ahead of you: relax and forget everything!
Today’s hike through Alpine pastures and forests is a gentle start to the week in a truly spectacular setting.
It is also the perfect hike to see all the different aspects of the Mont Blanc region and get a chance to see some of its fauna.
Snow-topped Croisse Baulet is the ideal summit for a day’s snowshoe hike.
At the foot of the Fiz mountain range with its limestone rocks, your eyes will be drawn to Mont Blanc, towering above you, so close.
At the end of the day, it will be time to say goodbye to your guide and the magnificent mountains.
