Running the Tour du Mont Blanc in 3 nights | TMB 2024
Fastpacking the Tour du Mont Blanc in 4 days.
The most physically and mentally challenging trip I've done to date.
The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the most popular long-distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc massif, covering a distance of roughly 165 kilometres (103 mi) with 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of ascent/descent and passing through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France.
It is considered one of the classic long-distance hiking trails. The circular route is normally walked in a counter-clockwise direction in 9-14 days.
