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

Showcasing some of the most spectacular scenery in the Swiss Alps, the Bernese Oberland Traverse offers heavy doses of majestic mountain trails, along with comfortable accommodation in the many enchanting Swiss mountain villages it passes through. This route is our top recommendation for private rooms, our best pick for honeymooners, and a great alternative to the Tour du Mont Blanc. Although our full itinerary includes long mountain days and high passes, we offer a gentler 5-day itinerary with daily alternate transportation options, making it a top pick for hikers unsure of their ability to complete a hut-to-hut hike, including families

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

The Tour des Combins was one of the Alps’ best-kept secrets, but it is slowly gaining recognition and notoriety as one the Alps’ top hut-to-hut hikes. Despite recent attention, including an article in National Geographic magazine, this wild and remote loop around the sparkling glaciers of the Grand Combins massif, remains authentic and untouched by masses of tourists. Well-built trails with very little exposure let hikers focus on the magnificent scenery as they hike through Switzerland and Italy. We consider this a favorite for experienced hikers who love backcountry and solitude on the trail
