This guide explores the popular region of Mont Blanc (4808m), the highest mountain in Western Europe, showing the best routes on both the French and Italian sides of the massif. Valley trails, aerial ridges and via ferratas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large centres of Chamonix and Courmayeur are often busy with holidaymakers and associated industries: caf\u00e9s, lodges, lifts and signage.... but these valleys have walks to match anywhere else for their views, terrain and variety, with their sublime glaciers plunging into the valleys, their high snow-capped peaks glistening in the sun, their flowery slopes and their rocky paths. Whether in spring, summer or autumn, the beauty and variety of the walks will satisfy any hiker, and there are plenty of facilities for the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The season runs from late June to mid-September and is most intense between 14 July (Bastille Day in France) and 15 August (Assumption). Unsurprisingly, summer is the usual season for walking in the mountains, as this is when they tend to enjoy the most stable weather conditions: it is also when the huts are open and the cable cars operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, in June, the weather is usually warm and sunny and the days are long, but the snow often remains above 2,000 metres or less, and can avoid reaching the cols. On the other hand, huts may be closed, as is also the case in September and October: the chance of snow is also much lower in autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chamonix; Courmayeur; Huron; Les Houches; Plaine Joux; Servoz; Vallorcine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
