Tour duMont Blancthru-hikeThe AlpsSep 2 - 13, 2018

Encircling the Mont Blanc mountain in the Alps, the tour of this peak is a classic long-distance hike covering a distance of 106 miles while passing through France, Italy, and Switzerland. It offered a challenging experience filled with diverse landscapes, a unique blend of cultures, and stunning alpine charm across 12 days of hiking, all while sleeping in comfy mountain huts and eating warm home-cooked meals each night. The unofficially highest point on the trek, via an alternate route, was 8,998 feet.

The sights from the trail, and at the mountain huts, are beautiful and well worth the 36,877 ft of total elevation gain and 36,701 ft of total elevation loss.
