Hello fellow adventurer,
Are you wondering what is the difference is between the two adventures in the Alps and which one to join? I am The Sports Guru and I will help answer your questions!
The French, Swiss and Italian alps are without a doubt some of the most famous - and stunning- mountains in Europe, if not in the world. They offer numerous hiking trails within their natural parks, the most trekked being by far “Le Tour du Mont Blanc”, which circles le Mont Blanc massif covering a total distance of about 170Km, passing through parts of Switzerland, France and Italy.
We, The Sports Guru, offer two different adventure and hiking packages in the Alps region:
“ Le Tour du Mont Blanc - TMB ”
& "The Mont Blanc Valley Adventure Tour"
So, what are the main differences between the two adventures and which one to choose?
Below is your answer:
1- TMB is a hut-to-hut multi-days trekking adventure in which you will be hiking from one point to another. Our target destination at the end of the day is another mountain hut where we will be spending the night.
MBV is a multi-day adventure tour which includes daily hikes starting from Chamonix in France where we will be based. In MBV we will be sleeping in a hotel and departing daily for our treks and adventures from there.
2- TMB covers three countries in one adventure. You will be hiking through the amazing landscapes and peaked mountains of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. It is the most popular hike in the world and a must for trekking enthusiasts.
On the other hand, MBV will be covering the highlights of the French Mont Blanc Valley, also known as Chamonix valley. From lac blanc to aiguille du midi, mer de glace and Montenvert, MBV is a multi-adventure tour full of activities (paragliding, rock climbing, cycling, rafting…) extraordinary sceneries, cable car & mountain trains rides and much more!
3-TMB is 7 days of trekking where you will be covering around 170km of trails through different landscapes and around the best peaks of the Mont Blanc massif.
On the schedule of MBV you will be having 5 days of trekking to the best attractions in the Mont Blanc valley. On day 6, you will have the option to choose between different activities. From paragliding to rock climbing or white-water rafting, you can choose one activity or more or just take a break and breathe in the beautiful village of Chamonix.
