Review
Top notch service
Classic Tour du Mont-Blanc Self-Guided
Rating
We had such a great experience, from start to finish, with Run the Alps for our self-guided 6-day TMB trip. They were very engaged from the moment we booked our trip months ahead of the actual trek. The resources provided, from intro literature, physical maps, app, virtual navigation, on-course communication, and recommendations for side trips, site seeing, and restaurants were invaluable. Their exceptional organization of logistics removed all friction of getting the trek completed on our timeline. We loved the personal touch of meeting in person in Chamonix prior to heading out. Will recommend to anyone and everyone!
Why
Read a Brendan Leonard blog about Run the Alps. We researched another outfit and decided on Run the Alps, in large part because Run the Alps seemed to offer better options for self-guided tours, which is what we wanted.
Advice
Don't underestimate the climbs and descents! The numbers on paper don't reflect the physical experience of how steep, and how looooong, these sections can be.
Highlight
All the views, duh. Although the Run the Alps literature did highlight traveling between countries in short order, it was a pleasantly unexpected jolt to experience the contrasts.
