Trek Mont Blanc
26 August 2010
This long weekend trek takes you up to 2120m and through some of Europe's most dramatic scenery. The Chamonix valley is dominated by the white dome of Mont Blanc. During the trek you will experience breathtaking scenery as the coming together of several glaciers has produced some the most spectacular glacial structures, with deep crevasses and towering seracs.
