• The Tour of the Aiguilles Rouges - Chamonix Mont Blanc

    Short, nice trek facing the big summits of Europe, including the Mont Blanc.

    The trekking days are short, but the panorama is exceptional.


    5 days of trekking between 1000m and 3100m of altitude, with the option of climbing the Mont Buet, also called the Lady's Mont Blanc!!!


    The Tour of the Aiguilles Rouges is a summer trek. Perfect for short holidays, in preparation for a longer trek or as acclimatization, this excursion will be an amazing experience. Another plus:     it isn't as crowded as the Tour of Mont Blanc.

    You'll be snapping your camera away at the Mont Blanc, as well as the Aiguilles Rouges, the valley of Diosaz, and, from the summit of Mont Buet (3096m), the highest point of the trek, you'll have an amazing 360 degree vantage point. This trek is a way to pack in a breathtaking amount of impressive views into a short period of time.

    The route is a little demanding, sometimes airy, and at high altitude. There will possibly be sections on snow on Mt. Buet. We do not advise this route for beginners, but for hikers who already have some mountain knowledge.
