There’s no wrong way to do Mont Blanc—but having the massif, the trails, and a private Alpine chalet all to your group? That’s a pretty good way.

The private departure runs on your dates, with your people, out of an exclusive chalet near the Chamonix city center. You’ll get open-plan living spaces, mountain views, a private pool or jacuzzi, a sauna, and catered meals. A dedicated guide takes you through the same stunning itinerary—just without the group-tour logistics.

• • Meals: Breakfasts and lunches always included; additional dinners can be arranged at an extra cost
  • Group size: Up to 8 hikers; reach out for larger parties.

While hiking the hidden gems of Mont Blanc doesn’t require any special skills and it’s not technically challenging, a good level of fitness is still required. You’ll be hiking 10 km (6 mi) per day on average, for 6 days in a row, while gaining between 235 and 1,060 m (770-3,500 ft) in elevation.

Keep in mind that your guide can always make the day hikes easier or harder depending on the group. Since this is a fully private tour, the whole itinerary can be adapted to whatever your group wants.
