Tour des Aiguilles Rouges

The Tour des Aiguilles Rouges is a spectacular multi-day circuit in the French Alps that loops around the Aiguilles Rouges massif, opposite Mont Blanc from the Chamonix valley. Typically completed in 2–4 days, it links high balconies, rocky ridgelines, and tranquil forest paths, delivering constant, wide-open views of glaciers and the highest peaks of the Mont Blanc range. The route passes classic vantage points such as Lac Blanc and offers a mix of well-marked trails, steep ascents, and airy traverses that feel alpine without requiring technical climbing. You can tailor the itinerary with mountain huts, small hotels, or cable cars to shorten stages, making it accessible to fit hikers with a sense of adventure. Best enjoyed in summer and early autumn, it combines dramatic scenery, wildlife, and some of the finest viewpoints in the Alps.
