Tour du Mont Blanc Planning Guide

Training for the Alta Via 1, the Tour du Mont Blanc, or any other trek in the Alps

Most hikers focus on intense cardio training leading up to a big hike. While cardio is certainly helpful and you should keep doing it (in moderation), being unconditioned from a cardio perspective is not what prevents hikers from completing their hike. We’ve never had a customer tell us they were quitting their tour early due to their cardio condition, or lack thereof.

However, we have several hikers every year who quit early due to knee joint pain. Also valuable to know is that an ankle injury is the most likely scenario that would require you to call for rescue, which is usually an abrupt end to your trip, and often results in a very expensive helicopter bill if you don’t have the right insurance.
