Le Refuge des Aiglons
The Mont Blanc Circuit is something I wish everyone could experience. Photos do not do justice to how beautiful the mountains and surrounding areas of Mont Blanc are. Our mountain guides Corrine and Marc were fantastic. Although the trip is challenging, it is something most people can complete with preparation and knowing what to expect. The trails have significant elevation gains and losses with uneven terrain. Mountain weather is unpredictable so be ready for very hot to wind, rain, and jackets all in one day. Be prepared to be worn out but happy after each days hike. I highly recommend Country Walkers for this trip :)

Without question, one of the nicest trips we’ve ever taken. Our guides, Corrine and Clare were simply exceptional. Very knowledgeable and were terrific to be with. The scenery was stunning, the lodging was excellent and the precision and details really made the trip a marvelous adventure. Highly, highly recommend.
