Four days, two countries, one classic col. The best short introduction to the Alps.
This is the first quarter of the classic circuit, walked as a standalone long weekend. You start in Les Houches, cross the Col du Bonhomme and the Col de la Seigne, and finish in Courmayeur on the Italian side.
Four days is enough to feel what a multi-day alpine hike actually is - carrying your own pack, sleeping in a refuge, walking above 2,500 metres - without needing to take two weeks off work.
We recommend it as a first trip. Plenty of our hikers do this route one summer and come back for the full circuit the next.
No day on any of our TMB trips is easy. Most days climb 700 to 1,300 metres. Choose based on how many hard days in a row you are ready for.

The classic opening. A lift-assisted start to Col de Voza, then a long, forgiving descent through pasture and forest into the Montjoie valley.
Up the old Roman road to Col du Bonhomme and Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, the first taste of high, open ground above 2,400 m.
Over Col de la Seigne and into Italy. The moment the Mont Blanc massif opens up on your left is the one everybody photographs.
A balcony traverse high above the valley, finishing with a steep drop into Courmayeur's espresso bars and cobbled streets.
