| Mont Blanc & the Dolomites |
In late summer 2026 we'll stay for one week in
Chamonix, France and hike sections of the Tour
du Mont Blanc. We'll make full use of the Mont
Blanc Multipass with its numerous gondolas
and cable cars to whisk us to the tops of alpine
trails, making the experience easier and more
enjoyable. This is all about alpine hiking at its
best, akin to our explorations of Interlaken in
Switzerland.
After one week in Chamonix we'll take a Flixbus
to Verona to see the sights -- most notably the
Verona Arena and (why not) Juliet's balcony.
Then we'll continue on to Venice, where we'll
pick up a car at the airport and drive north to
the beautiful Dolomites of Northern Italy. We'll
spend two weeks hiking the Dolomites, with a
focus on Val di Funes, Val Gardena, and San
Martino di Castrozza. Then we'll return the car
to the Venice airport and fly home.

| Not sure which part of the trip we're more excited about -- Mont Blanc or the Dolomites! |
| We'll fly into Geneva and take a bus to Chamonix. After a week there, we'll take a Flixbus to Verona and spend two nights there. Then it's on (by bus) to the Venice Airport, where we'll rent a car for two weeks and drive up to the Dolomites where we'll spend two weeks hiking around in the mountains. |
