Mont Blanc hiking for sure do not offer the most intimate relation with the mountain.
The Tour of Mont Blanc is among the most popular and famous route of the world due to its natural mountain beauty. Mont Blanc Mountain is a must see for every alpinist of the World. On the other hand, in the high season is reccomended to not follow this route if you want to live the mountain in an autenthic way, with the Trekking Alps spirit. The Monte Bianco Mountain Hiking Area is certainly pretty famous and it is at its best off-season (not in Christmas holiday and in August) and it is not the right area if you want to avoid people and live an experience in solitude your trekking.
