​​​

WHEN:

This trip is offered non stop in July, August and September in 2025.  All TOURs will be 8 days in 2025 and schedules are being revised to be a slower pace.  It is the favourite trip of the International Mountain Leader at MONTBLANCTRIPS who would be delighted to take you on this trip offering views of the Mont Blanc Massif mountains from the Swiss & Italian Alps on a circular trek staying at Swiss & Italian Alpine Refuges / Rifugios.

​

DAYS - 8

Tour St Bernard takes between 5 and 8 days depending on your walking pace. The 8 day option offered is for snails taking their time and looking around.  If the weather is good you can enjoy long and demanding walking days, for a more leisurely option trying it in 8 days allows for an alpine storm and a lightening or thunder storm or a bad weather day and a rest day.  You will possibly enjoy it more if done at a leisurely 8 day pace.  Allowing for altitude gain in one day and some wiggle room for incidents is sensible.  You can shelter from any heavy rain or alpine lightening storms so an 8 days schedule  takes off any pressure and removes all anxiety of a schedule.  Alpine storms can be intimidating and dangerous so a 8 day option removes any anxiety whereas a 5 day walking schedule is somewhat rigid.  If exhausted a TMR bus can be used to hop between locations where a roads exists in Switzerland but that is fairly limited as the terrain is remote Swiss mountain terrain and in Italy some mountain areas are without roads.

WHY TOUR SAINT BERNARD?

Great mountains, hut hospitality and beautiful surroundings.  Great views of Mont Blanc Massif mountains.  Gorgeous flowers.  Remote valleys.  Good Ratatouille.  Great mountain passes in Italy and more gentle paths in Switzerland.  It is currently not overly busy in high season and so avoids the crowds seen on more popular trails which can resemble the London Underground on foot paths in rush hour in a city during high season.  TSB is far less frequented so the biodiversity excellent. 

​

VIEWS:

The Tour Saint Bernard is equally as breath taking as other trips with alpine scenery and mountain views across the valleys including the Mont Blanc Massif Mountains which are slightly more distant being 1 or 2 valleys away but you can see the entire range instead of the rocks in front of your nose.  The alpine scenery is lovely in summer with alpine flowers everywhere in July and August.  Of course September is less colourful but the trees and berries deliver their own seasonal variations in early autumn.
