Summary
Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Episode 206
Thinking about doing the Tour du Mont Blanc? On today's episode I bring you a great conversation with Lachlan Cooke his experience doing the Tour of the Mont Blanc.
This is an active vacation: it's not super technical mountaineering, but you need to be in good shape to do this. This is a great hike around the Mont Blanc that takes several days to complete. You'll be able to make it more or less arduous depending on choices you make as explained by Lachlan.
Make Your Own Tour du Mont Blanc
What's intimidating about a trip like this is figuring out where you can stay, how you can organize your hike, what you need to know in advance, possible pitfalls, etc. Lachlan has great suggestions on all of those. Take a look at the Show Notes, Guest Notes and Lackan's own blog for all the details.
Active Vacations in France and the French Alps
This is a great episode for those of you who are interested in the Mont Blanc and organizing a visit to the French Alps. Whether you make it a 2-hour hike or a 2-week hike, you'll be able to enjoy the striking vistas and peaceful feeling of the French Alps. Let yourself be inspired and start planning your own!
