Traversing high mountain trails and around the skirts of glaciers, this itinerary provides spectacular views of Mont Blanc with overnight stays in charming alpine villages and mountain huts. Carrying only a day pack, our trusty companion mules transport the bags while you are free to walk with just a day pack. Ascending alpine pastures and crossing mountain passes the route takes in the "City of Glaciers", the enchanting valley of Veni and the amazing sight of the Pré de Bar Glacier. There is plenty of time to enjoy the small villages we happen upon along the way, including the delightful La Fouly and enchanting Trient.
