Tour of the Trient Valley

Description of the excursion

This trek is my biggest coup ❤!

Straddling the famous Tour du Mont-Blanc and traversing a variety of sublime alpine panoramas, this little-known route is less frequented than its two neighbors (Tour du Mont-Blanc and Dents du Midi) and is accessible even to those with little experience. If you like to go hiking and are looking for a new challenge, I recommend it to 1000%!

Why choose marmotzet to accompany you there?
Planning any trek takes a lot of time and experience. As a mountain guide, I am committed to organizing the trek from A to Z and guarantee you a wide range of discoveries. So you fully savor every moment and words such as “preparation, itinerary, safety, management of the day, activities and respecting schedules” slip out of your head. In addition, through varied activities throughout the trek and the carefully prepared itinerary, you experience and discover the region differently.
