What does this mean?
Overview
Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Tour du Mont Blanc, a remarkable journey through breath taking scenery, including dramatic snow-capped peaks, picturesque alpine pastures, and serene meadows. As you traverse the Mont Blanc region, Europe's highest peak, you'll explore three distinct countries – France, Italy, and Switzerland, each offering unique characteristics, delightful cuisines, a diverse array of wildlife, and a vibrant tapestry of blooming flowers during the spring and summer seasons.
Our well-marked trails are designed to provide satisfyingly long hikes without being overly strenuous. You'll easily follow the designated hiking paths, identified by the prominent 'TMB' (Tour du Mont Blanc) lettering. In France and high-altitude regions in Switzerland, these trails are marked with red and white stripes, while in the valleys of Italy and Switzerland, they feature a black diamond shape on a yellow background. These trail markings are visible in both directions, painted on trees, rocks, walls, and fences.
Although some routes may involve steep ascents and descents, they are suitable for reasonably fit adults. For longer stages, we recommend carrying an ample supply of food and water and commencing your walks early in the morning. For experienced mountain hikers, there are optional opportunities to conquer local peaks, offering more challenging trails without technical difficulties or scrambling. However, individuals with a fear of heights should be aware that some sections may feel exposed.
