• Fitness & experience level

  A demanding hiking camp. About six hours of walking a day with up to 1,020 m of climbing, carrying a backpack, and the Grand Col Ferret at 2,537 m. Participants should be used to long mountain hikes.

  13-year-olds join after a fitness check with our team.

  It is the responsibility of legal guardians to honestly assess whether the participant has the required level before registering.

• Packing list

  Everything to bring is on our material list.

• Meeting point & travel

  Swiss participants meet at Lausanne station, international participants at Geneva Airport (included in the price). Transport is organised from both to the Chamonix valley, where the camp starts, and back from Chamonix at the end of the week.

• Languages

  We believe in bringing together an international community, which is why the languages spoken at the camp are French and English, which is what we have seen from our past experience and the huge benefit of mixing Francophones and Anglophones and learning from both groups.

• Why should I attend this camp?

  Participating in the “Tour du Mont Blanc” summer camp is an incomparable experience that combines adventure, learning and personal discovery in one of the most spectacular mountain environments in the world.

  It’s a chance to immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty, challenge yourself physically while hiking around the Mont Blanc massif, and develop leadership and teamwork skills through various activities.

  You will also have the opportunity to meet young people from diverse backgrounds, enriching your experience through cultural sharing.

  This camp offers much more than just an adventure: it’s a quest for personal growth, independence, and memories that will last a lifetime.

• Itinerary and activities

  Section 2 walks the Swiss and Italian side of the Tour du Mont Blanc: the Col de Balme, Trient, Champex-Lac, the Swiss Val Ferret, the Grand Col Ferret and the Italian Val Ferret to Courmayeur. The day-by-day programme on this page shows the week; the weather can change the order or the variant taken.

  Section 1, on the Swiss and French side, is a separate camp that can be booked on its own.

• Does the programme of activities change week by week?

  Yes. The Tour du Mont Blanc is two camps: Section 1 on the Swiss and French side, Section 2 on the Swiss and Italian side. Each runs two weeks of the summer and can be booked on its own; a participant who wants both books both, and can spend the week in between at another of our camps.

• Do you have any other questions?

  We believe in human-to-human interaction: write to us via our contact methods and schedule a call or meeting with one of our employees.
