Chamonix, Mont Blanc Massif · France
Circumnavigate Western Europe's highest peak on the 170 km Tour du Mont Blanc — a classic mountain circuit crossing three countries (France, Italy, Switzerland) in eleven days, with 10,000 m of cumulative ascent. The TMB is among the world's most beloved long-distance trails for good reason: the mountain reveals a completely different face from each valley, and the transition between French, Italian, and Swiss alpine cultures is as absorbing as the landscape itself. The route uses refuges and auberges throughout, meaning you walk with a light pack and end every evening with a hot shower, cold beer, and a communal dinner with fellow trekkers from every corner of the world. The most dramatic moments come on the high passes — Col du Bonhomme, Col de la Seigne, Grand Col Ferret — where Mont Blanc itself fills the sky and you understand for the first time why the mountain has been drawing people for 250 years. The final stage returns to Chamonix through the Aiguilles Rouges for a sunset view of the entire massif, and something in you has changed.
