June and July have been an incredibly busy and exciting time for the ProSport Team! Three different groups have all completed the Tour Du Mont Blanc Circuit. Todd Beames and Carly Silverwood trained up the groups for 6 months incorporating a combination of structured outdoor hikes, strength and conditioning circuits, fitness classes at ProSport and a lot of their own walks and home circuits. This unbelievable 12 day tour takes in 9 hiking days, a rest day either side of the tour plus a well earned rest day in the beautiful township of Courmayeur with the option of taking a town tour in nearby Aosta or enjoying a massage or some shopping in the exclusive boutiques. Arriving in Geneva, the groups all first met up in the breathtaking resort town of Chamonix where we enjoyed a stay at a boutique hotel. The free day in Chamonix was a great opportunity to take a cable car up to Le Brevent with amazing views of Mont Blanc or wander around the cobbled streets, taking a coffee in one of the street cafes or even a spot of last-minute expedition shopping. The Trek commences in Les Houches and finishes back in Chamonix with ever changing scenery the entire way. Just some of the highlights taken in are the dark stone Mont Blanc massif with its snow peak glaciers, valleys, rocky mountains, meadows, snow, sunshine, some of Europe's most beautiful towns, grassy ridges with wildflowers, pine forests and lakes. We could tell you more but really think it’s only the photos that do can possibly ever do Tour du Mont Blanc justice. Thanks to ALL of our wonderful hikers for all the enthusiasm, positive energy and SENSATIONAL photos!
