Self-guided Adventures in France

This is the perfect combination of exploring on your own, yet having someone help you plan a trip which is otherwise quite complex to put together.

Alpenventures made all the lodging reservations and transportation connections
so easy.

Having a knowledgeable person doing all the "heavy lifting" took a lot of the pressure off of us, so all we had to do was hike and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Circumnavigate the Alps’ highest peak on good trails through France, Italy and Switzerland. The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is the Alps’ most famous hut-to-hut hike, blending wild mountain terrain with charming alpine villages. Though it involves steep ascents and descents, it remains an excellent introduction to hut-to-hut hiking and offers many comforts that are rare or absent on other routes. Among the favorite TMB comforts are hotel-oriented itineraries that offer private rooms and organized luggage transfer. We offer itinerary options for varying fitness levels, including shorter versions for those seeking a condensed TMB experience

Beginning among the shadows of the Mont Blanc Massif, and ending in the presence of the legendary Matterhorn, the Walker’s Haute Route is likely the most dramatic and scenic trek in the Alps. Traversing the Swiss Alps from Chamonix to Zermatt, this route has deep roots in early mountaineering history. Between the wild alpine passes and mountain huts lie delightful Swiss villages, which offer comforts such as private rooms and luggage transfer. With challenging terrain and relentless ascents, this route demands effort for its reward and is reserved for fit and experienced hikers with plenty of grit

This is a true gem for hikers seeking an authentic hut-to-hut hiking experience in the Alps without the typical knee-grinding ascents and descents. The Tour of the Vanoise circumnavigates the glaciated peaks of Vanoise National Park, staying mostly on gentle, high-alpine trails that are bursting with wildflowers and deliver constant expansive mountain views (in good weather, of course). This is our top recommendation in the Alps for hikers suffering from knee pain or looking for a more gentle option that delivers all the charm and grandeur typical of a hut-to-hut hike in the Alps
