A 4 day unsupported mountain bike ride around the Mont Blanc massif from 13th to 16th August 2013. Total distance: 214km, of which 80% on footpaths/tracks, 20% on tarmac. Total height gain: 10,014m (excluding 760m with the Courmayeur cable car). 12 hour days, lots of hiking, but some of the most spektakliar single track we have ever ridden...

Hi! How do you advice to go MTB Tour de Mont Blanc: clockwise or counterclockwise? Whitch way is it more rideble?

Sorry, I did not realise you had left this message. The route was mostly the official walking route ( as shown on IGN maps 3630 OT & 3531 ET). We found out that it's not always suited to bikes, such the section from Chamonix to the Col des Montets (i guess best to ride up the valley instead) & from Les Chapieux to Col Bonhomme (we road over the Col du Cormet de Roseland & then via Lac Gittaz & Col du Joly). Accomodation: night 1: Hotel on Col du Forclay, night 2: hotel in Lavachey (but Refuge Bonatti is supposed to be better), night 3: refuge Nova in Les Chapieux. Top tip: Do it in 5 or 6 days riding. 4 days was tight & we were lucky with the weather.
