Tour de Mont Blanc (TMB) is a classic in the world of multi-days hiking tour. It doesn't, involve climbing the peak, but it's offering the possibility to admire it from all the 3, countries that are sharing it.
This version of TMB was created based on huts availability. If you plan to do it, it is good to book the places in Huts with at least 6 months in advance. It exists the possibility to do this tour with a tent too, but this is not the topic this time.
This version is also an adaptation for a beginner. That is why, instead of the more challenging parts were selected sometimes easier alternatives and the long days are alternating with the short ones.
