Is it possible to avoid the ladders with an alternate option that day?

We will need to check this with our local operations team and confirm whether an alternative route is possible on that day. We will provide you with an update within 2–4 business days.

Reading the description for the 8-day Tour du Mont Blanc, I can't assess the daily hiking duration/distance. Please supply this info (average daily distance/ hike duration or some indication of the expected effort will suffice).

Physical rating - Although no mountaineering experience is required on this trip, a good level of physical fitness is necessary. You must be comfortable hiking up to 8-10 hours a day, with many steep uphill sections, uneven, rocky terrain and in unpredictable weather. This hike is a strenuous one, so the better prepared you are, the more you should enjoy it. We recommend that in the months leading up to your climb you increase your physical fitness with aerobic exercise. Walking, running and stair-climbing will all strengthen your legs and improve your stamina.

Can we do a part of the journey rather than the whole trek? We are thinking of dividing the trek into 3 or 4 sections with time to visit the areas near each section.

If you would like to do only a part of the tour, it is possible. You may opt out of some included activities to visit other areas, but the cost of this has to be borne on your own.
