Europe’s Iconic Trail Hiking Adventure
Ready to take on one of the world’s most legendary mountain routes? Experience the Tour du Mont Blanc in true trail-hiking style with our guided TMB hiking journeys.
Consistently ranked among the top ten “must-do” mountain routes on the planet, the Tour du Mont Blanc delivers nonstop adrenaline: 170 km of pure alpine flow, 10,000 m of elevation gain and descent, and jaw-dropping views at every turn. You’ll run across three incredible regions, France, Italy, and Switzerland, as you loop around the mighty Mont Blanc, soaring at 4,810 m. Most hikers tackle the route anticlockwise, starting and finishing in Chamonix.
With years of experience on these trails, we’ve crafted a range of trail-hiking itineraries for every level and schedule. Tackle the full circuit in 11 unforgettable stages or 5 stages on year one and the following 6 stages on year two, or choose the days you wish to rest between hiking days. We start in Chamonix, FR, where we meet on Day 1, and on Day 2, we hike the first stage. 6 or 11 days later, we run into Chamonix again, and I promise you, you will feel so proud.
Get in touch. we’d love to help you experience the UTMB the way trail hikers know and love it.
