Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Martigny
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
The small town of Mar­tigny is idyl­li­cal­ly situa­ted in the Rhô­ne val­ley. Stroll up to La Batiaz Cast­le or for­ti­fy yours­elf for the days ahead in one of the many restaurants. 
Mar­tigny — Champex 
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 1050m Höhe (-): 805m
Trans­fer to Tren­to ear­ly in the mor­ning. You start your first day of hiking with an ascent on the legen­da­ry old pass road to the Col de la For­claz, an important link from the Rhô­ne val­ley to Cha­mo­nix. From the top of the pass, a beau­tiful forest path leads you up and over the sum­mit of Col­let Por­ta­lo to the Alp Bovi­ne moun­tai­nee­ring sta­ti­on. Take a break on the moun­tain pas­tu­re befo­re tack­ling the impres­si­ve des­cent along high rock faces and over rus­hing moun­tain streams. In the val­ley, a typi­cal far­mer’s hut with home-made pro­ducts awaits you for refresh­ments. The rou­te con­ti­nues gent­ly uphill through small vil­la­ges and woo­ded are­as to the crys­tal-clear Lac de Champex. It is not for not­hing that this place is also known as the Cana­da of Switz­er­land: dark woo­den hou­ses and exten­si­ve woo­ded are­as sur­round the ice-cold lake. 
Champex — La Fouly
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 810m Höhe (-): 625m
On good forest paths, you des­cend into the val­ley of the river Dran­se, who­se cour­se you now fol­low through quaint Valais moun­tain vil­la­ges. A beau­tiful path soon leads you fur­ther up abo­ve the gor­ge of the moun­tain stream until you reach the vil­la­ge of La Fou­ly at the upper end of the Swiss Val Fer­ret. Mar­vel at the polished rock faces and mas­si­ve gla­cier flanks that sur­round you. Rock clim­bers and fans of high alpi­nism will find num­e­rous bivouac huts here as base camps for their moun­tain hikes. A cable car ride to the pan­o­r­amic point in the after­noon or sim­ply enjoy pure rela­xa­ti­on in dream­li­ke alpi­ne surroundings 
La Fou­ly — Val Ferret
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 1080m Höhe (-): 830m
The first high pass and moun­tain crossing to Ita­ly awaits you! After a climb over the Alpe Peu­le, whe­re you can rep­le­nish your sup­pli­es, you hike on good paths to the Grand Col Fer­ret (2537m). Enjoy fasci­na­ting views of the Ita­li­an Val Fer­ret, which is cha­rac­te­ri­zed on one side by green flanks and on the other by steep rock faces and gla­cia­ted walls. The des­cent takes you direct­ly to the Rifu­gio Ele­na, whe­re you can enjoy an ori­gi­nal espres­so on the ter­race with stun­ning gla­cier views. A beau­tiful hiking trail along the stream takes you down into the val­ley. Con­ti­nue by bus to Courmayeur. 
Cir­cu­lar hike Val Ferret
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 600m Höhe (-): 1125m
Take the bus back to Val Fer­ret. A first mor­ning ascent takes you direct­ly onto a gre­at high-alti­tu­de trail that leads to the Rifu­gio Bon­atti with its won­derful moun­tain views. Don’t miss the stop at this legen­da­ry alpi­ne hut! After­wards, you have the choice: take the shorter and flat­ter rou­te along the moun­tain flank or cross two more pas­ses and hike along the high trail over the sum­mit peaks. A gre­at alpi­ne expe­ri­ence — eit­her way! Both paths meet again at the cozy Rifu­gio Ber­to­ne, whe­re cap­puc­ci­no and cake await hikers. In the after­noon, you reach the pret­ty Ita­li­an town of Cour­ma­y­eur, which is famous for its long alpi­ne histo­ry and Mont Blanc pan­ora­mas. The beau­tiful pede­stri­an zone, well-kept bars and cafés are well worth a visit! 
Cour­ma­y­eur — Ville des Gla­ciers — Bourg Saint-Maurice
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 890m Höhe (-): 750m
In the mor­ning trans­fer / bus ride (depen­ding on the sea­son) to Cha­let du Mia­ge. Today you hike through the Veny Val­ley, whe­re you can dis­co­ver impres­si­ve late­ral morai­nes, bizar­re lime­s­tone for­ma­ti­ons and hid­den gla­cial lakes. You hike through the wide val­ley flo­or to the Alpi­ne Club hut Rifu­gio Eli­sa­bet­ta, whe­re you can enjoy deli­cious Ita­li­an hut spe­cial­ties on the ter­race. Over the Col de la Seig­ne pass (2516 m), you now head into France in the Hau­te-Savoie regi­on! Your desti­na­ti­on is the Val­lée des Gla­ciers (Val­ley of the Gla­ciers), whe­re you stop for a bite to eat in a for­mer moun­tain pas­tu­re sur­roun­ded by num­e­rous herds of cows. Final­ly, you will take a trans­fer from Ville des Gla­ciers down to the tran­quil French Alpi­ne town of Bourg-Saint-Mau­rice, which lies direct­ly on the Isè­re river. Here you can round off your impres­si­ve 3‑country hike with a good glass of wine.

Tour rating

Mont Blanc East — a fan­ta­stic tour
Hiking at the foot of the gla­ciers of the Mont Blanc mas­sif is a breath­ta­kin­gly impres­si­ve expe­ri­ence. The sceni­cal­ly sen­sa­tio­nal tour offers exci­ting paths over the pas­ses, cozy huts along the way, com­fort in small, spar­k­ling clean vil­la­ges in Switz­er­land, Ita­ly and France and is per­fect for let­ting yours­elf be com­ple­te­ly absor­bed by natu­re in this bizar­re land­scape. The tour is very well descri­bed and the sign­pos­ting along the way is con­sis­t­ent­ly relia­ble. You feel safe on your way. All in all, a real highlight!
