Tour of Mont Blanc : Complete Two-way Trekking Guide

The third edition of this popular guidebook to the 105-mile Tour of Mont Blanc—one of the world's best classic walks, circumnavigating the Mont Blanc massif in about eleven days. The walk has all the excitement of the high mountains yet none of the worry of altitude sickness. It crosses numerous cols with stunning views of spectacular snow and rock peaks, and accommodation along the route is plentiful.

The 'official' Tour du Mont Blanc follows an established route around the main block of mountains containing not only Mont Blanc but its principal allied summits such as Verte, Chardonnet, Goûter, Géant, Jorasses, d'Argentière, Dolent and numerous others. The author describes the tour both in the traditional anti-clockwise direction and the clockwise direction, along with several alternative routes that subsequently link. The routes have been created to give the very best perspective and appreciation of the whole region, with recommendations at every opportunity to bring walkers into closer contact with the area.

This guide is in full colour, with points of interest, accommodation details and natural history of the region covered. This edition includes new routes around Courmayeur and Arnuva and to Lac Blanc.
