CARBON REDUCTION
Embarking on a journey through the majestic landscapes of the Tour du Mont Blanc, travellers are treated to the backdrop of snow-capped peaks, serene lakes, and ancient glaciers. The commitment to reducing our carbon footprint is evident in our travel choices. Starting the day with a scenic bus journey up to Visailles, travellers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the beauty outside their windows, appreciating the natural wonders without the environmental cost of individual transportation.
As a hiking tour, our carbon emissions on this trip are naturally low.
ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE
The essence of responsible travel is deeply embedded in our approach to exploring the Alps. Opting for a point-to-point walking trip ensures minimal disruption to the environment, allowing travellers to access remote and pristine parts of the Alps.
With an experienced and highly qualified International Mountain Leader by your side every step of the way, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands. They will inform all travellers on how to Leave No Trace and move through the landscape respectively.
By travelling on this trip, you’ll learn about our Foundation partner, Cooperativa Coraggio. Donations help them regenerate 22 hectares of unused public land to create local jobs and produce organic food in Italy. We will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made.
