The Tour du Mont-Blanc is a popular long-distance hiking trail in Europe. The Tour du Mont-Blanc (also called Mont Blanc Trail) is a long-distance hiking trail around the mountain massif of the same name in the French, Italian and Swiss Alps. An incredibly beautiful, panoramic and sometimes foggy hike awaits you on the Tour du Mont Blanc. I found the tour terrific. Chapeau!

This challenging day begins with a tough ascent from Tré-le-Champ to Lac Blanc, a gorgeous alpine lake, before descending down to La Flégère and further on to Planpraz, from where you take the cable car down to Chamonix. Unfortunately, the Flégère cable car is closed in summer 2019 for refurbishment.
