Hike a Legendary Alpine Trail
Follow in the footsteps of legends on a mythical and historic trail, renowned as Europe's oldest and most challenging mountain race. This isn't just a hike; it's a chance to become part of a rich alpine history.
Earn Unforgettable, Crowd-Free Views
Escape the crowds of more famous treks and immerse yourself in a wild, remote, and untouched corner of the Swiss Alps. The reward? Breathtaking, 360-degree panoramas of iconic peaks like Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
Conquer the Mighty Haute Cime
Test your mettle with an optional ascent of the Haute Cime (3,257m), the highest accessible peak of the Dents du Midi. Reaching this summit is a true mountaineering achievement and the ultimate prize of the tour.

I did the Tour du mont Blanc highlights in July and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a perfect trip to experience the Alps if you are time limited or want a taster before the full TMB route. The scenery is breathtaking.
