The spectacular Alps are a mecca for hikers and the famous “Tour du Mont Blanc” might be the centerpiece of a European hiking tour in Switzerland, France and Italy. What better location to learn Wilderness Medicine and receive continuing medical education credits? This wonderful European Mont Blanc hike takes us through an ever-changing panorama of dramatic mountain peaks, glaciers, meadows, and alpine beauty! The circuit of Western Europe’s highest peak, Mont Blanc (15,771′) is one of the world’s premiere treks which transports you by foot through through the mountains of France, Italy, and Switzerland, each with its own distinctive culture and flair!
Experienced, colorful mountain guides bring a wonderful dimension of history, geology, and local color to every aspect of the trip. After a vigorous day of hiking, you’ll welcome the creature comforts of quaint European mountain inns and comfortable hotels – all featuring excellent meals and great local wines! The Wilderness Medicine CME Classes and lectures take place in the inns each evening and are provided by Wilderness & Travel Medicine LLC, a leader in Wilderness Medicine education.

I have been now on this same trip twice and looking at number 3 in the future. The accommodations and the guides are top notch. Words can not describe the majesty of this incredible mountain and surrounding landscapes. CME is in various areas of the trek. One day we were sitting in a field with the mountains in the background. Really?! I can’t say enough about this trip except- DO IT!!!!! This is a 5 star review
Michele Stookey –
This trip was incredible. Our guides, Sebastian and Laurent were the absolute best guides and made this a memorable trip I would love to repeat. The scenery was breathtaking and great hands-on CME. I cannot recommend this trip enough.

This was a wonderful trip. The scenery is strikingly beautiful but what enhanced the experience was the excellent CME – interesting, informative & thoughtfully dome. Also the lovely accommodation & food and outstanding guides – Sébastien & Sébastien and the organizer extraordinaire Mike. I highly recommend this trip.
Jan Hirschmann –
I thought that the trip was excellent.I especially commend our chief guide Laurent, who was remarkably well-informed, humorous, and easily understood. He is a real scholar about so many aspects of the geography, history, flora, etc. of the region. Also, Sebastian did a great job in finding food for our lunches and in transporting our baggage to the next destination. MT Blanc 2018
