10 amazing adventures that will blow your mind

3. Walking The Tour de Mont Blanc

Imagine walking through three countries (France, Italy AND Switzerland), staying in refuges, and experiencing alpine climbs, sun, rain, fog and snow all at once! The Tour de Mont Blanc alpine trek offers all of this. Starting and finishing in Les Houches, the 171.5km wilderness hike from Sherpa Expeditions can take just 14 days and costs from £1,200 per person. Although it’s a physically taxing adventure (walking an average of six to seven hours per day), it’s also visually exciting and a definite must do! The best time to go is over the summer from June to September, when the weather is warm and walking conditions are at their best.
