Hubby and I did the Mont Blanc West Self-Guided hiking tour in September 2025. The organisation from Walkers World was really good. We were provided instructions for downloading an app with all the information we needed and it worked offline.We are both in our 50's and pretty fit but it turns out, I wasn't quite fit enough. The hikes were really tough - very up and very down. Hubby loved it. Loved the challenge and pushing himself, I on the other hand, loved the views and the wildlife, just not the challenging downs. There are some great paths and some areas where there are none and you kinda head the direction that feels right. Thankfully it mostly was... except when we followed someone thinking they were going the same direction as us and after half an hour of walking down a lovely path, hubby's watch vibrated and he said "wait up... oh we need to go back up" as we went left instead of right. Oh and the reason it took so long for the watch to let him know we were on the wrong path is because connection can get lost. The places Walkers World organised were fantastic. The included breakfasts were really good and the bags were always collected and at our accommodation when we finally arrived.I had a bit of an injury on the second to last hike so we decided we wouldn't do the last hike and called the emergency line to find out how we could get to Bourg Saint Maurice and they were so very helpful and organised us a taxi from Les Contamines and although it was expensive, it was worth it - turned out my foot had two stress fractures - and all the hassle of public transport would have been too much.The weather meant we didn't get as fantastic views as some will get but the cloud made for some spectacular views anyway. TL/DR: if you are planning on hiking Mont Blanc, Walkers World are great and provide very good information.Mont Blanc has some challenging ups and downs, especially if you're less than 5 foot 7, don't have good leg or arm strength to clamber up or down rocks or stamina to keep going when it's tough.PSA: make sure all them muscles and stuff around your knees are strong for the downs.
