Designed for those who want to see and experience everything, this journey combines invigorating hiking with ample opportunities to soak in the rich culture and scenery of Liguria and Tuscany.
Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies at the heart of this adventure. You'll explore all five villages – Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare – each offering a distinct charm.

Beyond Cinque Terre, the tour extends to the lively city of Genoa, where you'll start your journey. Known for its rich maritime history and narrow, winding streets, Genoa offers a perfect introduction to the Ligurian coast.
Afterward, you'll move on to the picturesque towns and coastal paths that connect the entire region, with each day revealing new vistas and hidden gems. The flexibility of train and ferry transfers allows you to tailor the experience.
The tour culminates in Tuscany with a visit to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Here, the hikes will take you through the scenic countryside around Fiesole, offering views of Florence from afar, as well as opportunities to explore historic sites and savor the local cuisine.
With every detail taken care of – from accommodations to a detailed travel itinerary and GPS navigation – you'll be free to focus on enjoying the hike and the stunning surroundings. This tour offers a complete, adaptable experience of Italy's most beloved regions, making it ideal for those who want to truly see it all.

The Tour du Mont Blanc was easily one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken in years. From breathtaking views and warm, welcoming people to delicious food and charming mountain huts, every aspect of the journey was unforgettable. The hikes were significantly more challenging than I had anticipated, but the reward was well worth the effort. I can’t overstate how much smoother and more stress-free the experience was thanks to Hut to Hut’s incredibly detailed guides. Having accommodations pre-booked, access to a well-designed GPS trail map, and a comprehensive guide outlining what to expect, what to pack, and what to watch out for made all the difference. If you’re considering hiking the TMB, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Hut to Hut. Their support turned a great adventure into an exceptional one.
Samo and Eva did a wonderful job in organizing my six-day Slovenian Mountain Trail hike. From the first contact to the delivery of the package with hike details, hut reservations, GPX etc. was efficient. I had a wonderful challenging hike as a solo self-guided hiker. Samo was supportive to the extent possible for my challenging day #4 from Aljazev Hut to Dolicu Hut in very bad weather. All arrangements worked perfectly. Highly recommend them if you want to take the difficulty out of the organization itself and simply enjoy the hiking expereince.
Incredibly route through the Karavank & Julien ranges. Huts were rustic & scenic and all check-ins were smooth. The route guides that Hut-to-Hut provided were extremely helpful, available offline & gave us peace of mind while traveling through new territory. Highly recommend.
Great Trip, Great Company! Nina and her team handled every detail flawlessly. We had originally planned to join a guided group tour, but choosing the flexibility of sleeping in and setting our own pace turned out to be the best decision—and the savings let us upgrade our hotels. The bag-transfer service was seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend them!
We did the five day/four night highlight tour and it was breathtaking! The Tours Du Mont Blanc team was very accommodating of our request for private rooms on the hike (when available) and also with last minute logistics due to the Mount Blanc tunnel closure. Samo and Nina were very responsive and answered all of our many questions :).
