Hiking Explore's Tour de Mont Blanc means 150 kilometres of walking, 7300m of ascent and 8500m of descent. There are many variations on this world renowned trek but this is the one I've been lucky enough to guide for the last couple of weeks.
Lucky because the walk is stunning, but also because my group of 5 were lovely company and because we got great weather, needing our waterproofs briefly on a couple of days. Apart from those moments we enjoyed sunshine and passing clouds, which chased shadows across the mountain slopes.
Here's a selection of my favourite photos from the tour:

Back home now, getting some climbing and preparing for the coming weeks walking on the Amalfi Coast.
