Be one of the few to complete this relatively unknown trekking circuit and enjoy sensational mountain scenery without the crowds. The Tour des Combins is one of our fastest growing treks, for very good reason. It's a complete circuit of the Grand Combin (4314m), which passes through some of the most stunning parts of the Swiss and Italian Alps. This hut to hut itinerary makes a great alternative to the Tour du Mont Blanc or Walkers' Haute Route, perfect for trekkers who are looking for something undiscovered.
Experience a true high mountain journey, staying mainly above 2000m in little-known refuges, with unforgettable hospitality and a real mountain way of life. Expect huge diversity in scenery, nature and wildlife, set against a constantly changing background of 4000m peaks and uncrowded trails.
Highlights of the week include staying above the Glacier de Corbassière, visiting the monastery at the world-famous Col du Grand St Bernard, and discovering our even less-frequented variant via the Lacs de Fenêtre. This trek is graded 8: Challenging.
