Three Great World Treks: The Tour du Mont Blanc, New Zealand’s Milford Track, and Iceland’s Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls Trails

This e-book bundle gives you a discount of more than 20% on my e-books to three of the world’s most beautiful and beloved hut treks: the Tour du Mont Blanc, New Zealand’s Milford Track, and Iceland’s Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls trails—a combined $65.85 value for just $51.95.

The Perfect Plan for Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc” e-book describes how to customize a flexible itinerary for most of the 170-kilometer/106-mile Tour du Mont Blanc (photo above). Passing through France, Italy, and Switzerland, it delivers views of glaciers, jagged peaks, and Mont Blanc’s snowy dome. Each night, you stay in lodges in charming towns or mountain huts in stunning settings. This e-book shows you how to use local transportation options to skip or shorten harder days, avoid bad weather, or hike just a section of the TMB.

The Complete Guide to Trekking New Zealand’s World-Famous Milford Track” e-book describes the four-day, 53.5-kilometer/33.2-mile Milford Track in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park. Starting at Lake Te Anau and finishing in Milford Sound, where peaks soar 1,500 meters/5,000 feet straight up out of the sea, the Milford ascends one river valley below innumerable waterfalls plunging down rainforest-clad mountains, crosses 1,154-meter/3,786-foot Mackinnon Pass, and then descends another rainforest valley past countless more waterfalls. This e-book also shares possibly the most valuable tip for booking Milford huts you will find anywhere.

The Complete Guide to Trekking Iceland’s Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls Trails” e-book describes how to trek the 55-kilometer/34-mile Laugavegur Trail and the 25-kilometer/16-mile Fimmvörðuháls, together or separately. From the lava fields of Landmannalaugar to a glacial river valley in the Thorsmork Nature Reserve, the Laugavegur wanders past thermal features spewing steam, stark plains of volcanic rock, and below dramatic peaks and glaciers. The lesser-known Fimmvörðuháls ascends a lushly green canyon below giant glaciers, crosses a snowy plateau past two volcano craters, and descends a river valley with some two dozen big, thunderous waterfalls.
