Europe’s Iconic Trail Running Adventure
Ready to take on one of the world’s most legendary mountain routes? Experience the Tour du Mont Blanc in true trail-running style with our guided TMB running 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 runners tackle the route anticlockwise, starting and finishing in Courmayer.
With years of experience on these trails, we’ve crafted a range of trail-running itineraries for every level and schedule. Tackle the full circuit in 6 unforgettable days, or choose the days you wish to rest between run days. We start in Courmayeur, Italy, where we meet on Monday, August 3 and on Tuesday, August 3, we run the first stage. 6 days later, we run into Courmayeur again, and I promise you, you will feel so proud. We will say goodbye on Monday, 10th
Get in touch. we’d love to help you experience the UTMB the way trail runners know and love it.
