Hi.
I'm planning to take a solo, sell guided 'highlights' package of the Tour Du Mont Blanc in July 2023 (possibly with macadventure) It would be a 'comfort' package staying in inns/hotels on most days rather than mountain huts. Something like this https://www.macsadventure.com/holiday-600/highlights-of-the-tour-du-mont-blanc-in-comfort/ 4
It will cover 7 days walking and I'm aware of the ascent and descents each day. I'm 51, it is is my first hiking trip and although I'm not a regular walker/hiker I am fit and have climbed a couple of Scottish munros. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week and spin classes so feel I have a good level of overall fitness. My question is are the daily hikes similar to some of the Scottish munros in terms of paths, steep climbs etc. I know some of the ascents are higher but are they gentler approaches, more severe or similar? Just trying to gauge if 7 days of walking the TMB highlights is similar to climbing 7 munros on consecutive days or not so I have a more realistic expectations.
Thanks in advance.
