Two days are spent traversing the Massif with spectacular views of Mont Blanc and the Chamonix needles, followed by a complete change of scenery and the ascent of Mt Buet 3'096m (10'157 ft). All nights are spent in basic but friendly walker's mountain huts, full board and lunch included. An average day begins with an 8:00 am start followed by about 6 to 8 hours of walking.

Using well-maintained trails, this trip has no unpleasant surprises for the beginner and allows the more experienced walkers to get away from the crowds that are often found on the 'other' side of the valley. This trip is well adapted to families planning a week's holiday in the Chamonix valley considering the accessibility of huts and terrain.

Tour Itinerary:

Day 1: Transfer from Geneva airport to the Chamonix valley, briefing and welcome dinner with your guide.

Day 2: Quick transfer to the Col des Montets, hike up to Lac Blanc. A perfect setting for your first night up in the mountains. Accommodation: Refuge Lac Blanc. Walking time: 4 hours

Day 3: From Lac Blanc, we start our scenic traverse over to the Brévent cable car station. After a hearty picnic lunch, we descend to the Refuge Bellachat for the night. Walking time: 7 hours

Day 4: We descend to Moëde, then up to the Refuge d'Anterne. Walking time: 6 hours

Day 5: An uphill day to the Col de Salenton, passing abandoned mines and ruins, before reaching the top and the Bérard valley, where we spend the night in a refuge. Walking time: 7 hours

Day 6: Our longest day of climbing, up to the summit of the Mont Buet, 3,096m. Return to Chamonix overnight. Walking time: 8 hours

Day 7: Departure day: Transfer of all clients from the Chamonix valley to Geneva airport.
