Tour of Mont Blanc trek comfort

First and foremost, we recommend that all participants obtain cancellation insurance in case you need to cancel your trip, experience flight delays that cause you to arrive late for the activity, or encounter any other unexpected issues.

You will have the possibility to cancel the Tour in accordance with the following indemnity scheme (refunded or to be paid depending on whether the payment was made and received):

• 100% Refund: If cancellation is notified in writing via email to Kookoo Climb up to 90 days before the first day of the Tour (minus a 5% administration fee).
• 50% Refund: If cancellation is notified in writing via email to Kookoo Climb between 89 and 60 days before the first day of the Tour (minus a 5% administration fee).
• 0% Refund: If cancellation is notified in writing via email to Kookoo Climb 59 days or less before the first day of the Tour.

If bad weather or unsuitable conditions force the guide to cancel the trip, Kookoo Climb will: 

a)  propose to postpone the activity until a later date, or b) cancel. If you refuse option a), the cancellation policy will apply. Please note, however, that the call to cancel a trip due to bad weather can only be made by the guide (not the client). Under exceptional circumstances, the company could, however, decide at his sole discretion to refund the client (minus the transaction fee).

If during the program it becomes necessary to hire a taxi service to avoid a stage or part of it, this will be considered an extra payment to be divided among all participants. This may be due to weather conditions on the day of the activity, or an earlier circumstance such as a storm, snow, or natural disaster that has altered the terrain, making it impractical on the scheduled day. Any additional costs arising from these changes, if they exceed the original price, will be covered by the participants.

– Please note that due to potential overbooking of accommodations, adverse weather forecasts, participants' physical or mental conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances, we may need to modify the programme.  

– The duration of each stage is approximate and intended for guidance only.  

– During the activity, the guide has sole responsibility for assessing the situation and may adjust the programme at any time in the interest of group safety.  

– If it becomes necessary to hire a taxi service to bypass a stage or part of it, the cost will be considered an extra charge shared among all participants. This may arise due to current or prior conditions, such as storms, snow, or natural disasters affecting the terrain.

You don't have to be a super athlete to walk the Tour du Mont Blanc, but it's essential to have a reasonable level of fitness beforehand. While walking is the ideal preparation, simply strolling for an hour on flat terrain three times a week won't be enough. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of walking once a week, preferably on hilly ground. Additionally, incorporate some low-to-moderate intensity gym workouts, or engage in jogging, cycling, or swimming.

It's advisable to start your fitness regimen at least three months, and ideally six months, before your trek. Avoid leaving your training until the last month before your holiday. Remember, you're preparing for a trekking holiday.
