The Tour du Mont Blanc, also known as the TMB, is a legendary 170-kilometer hike through three Alpine countries: France, Italy and Switzerland. This emblematic trail begins in Les Houches, near Chamonix, and forms a demanding loop reserved for seasoned hikers.
With a total vertical drop of more than 10,000 meters, the TMB takes hikers to impressive altitudes of over 2,500 meters, including the Col du Bonhomme and the Grand Col Ferret. Along the way, hikers pass through a variety of landscapes, from glacial valleys to flower-filled mountain pastures, via historic passes once used by smugglers and peddlers.
The route, rich in history and wilderness, can be adapted to suit individual tastes and abilities, thanks to numerous variants. The route is dotted with refuges and gîtes, allowing you to plan rest stops after long days of walking.
After completing the circuit via passes such as La Forclaz and Le Brévent, the hikers return to Les Houches, thus completing an adventure which, although arduous, remains accessible to those ready to take up the challenge. The Tour du Mont Blanc is a true alpine experience, engraved in the memories of those who have completed it.
