Did this a little while ago with MbMb.

It was a great trip, well organised and supported. Can't think of a single bad thing at all...

There are some big climbs, the 800m before lunch day 2 and the final biggie, 20 / 10 on the final day stick in my mind.... but great descents too. Not too tech challenging and very enjoyable. I would absolutely go again...

thanks Rick - looks amazing! I like the idea of a tour over a resort-based holiday - I like the feeling of travelling 🙂

I fancy this too - MbMb website still has 2012 pricing on it - are they still in business?

I've done it with Phil at MBMB - it rocks.

Here's an old thread and I think there are others that I've posted on too. The consensus is pretty positive as far as I remember:

Thanks for the links. I'm torn between signing up for a circumnavigation of MB or the Chamonix to Zermatt route. Has anyone done both of these and can give me advice on how they compare?
