1 ~~~ Mont Blanc: Long-Distance Hikes and Mountain Hospitality ~~~
I was just in the Alps with my TV crew, filming three new episodes of Rick Steves’ Europe.
We spent a couple of days hiking (and filming) on the Tour du Mont Blanc trail, in the French Alps.
It’s a whole parallel world there, away from the tourist crowds and intensity of the Alpine resorts, and really peaceful.
After just a taste of this classic long-distance hike, I am dreaming of coming back and doing the entire loop —
and once again, I’m reminded that you can never run out of rewarding corners of Europe to explore.
What’s your favorite long-distance hiking experience in Europe?
