About the Tour Du Mont Blanc Trail
The Tour Du Mont Blanc trek (other known as TMB, Mont Blanc Loop, or Ultra Tour Du Mont Blanc) is probably the most popular thru-hike in the Alps mountain range. Although the Walker's Haute Route Alps and Alta Via 1 trails are also somewhat popular, the TMB is hiked each year by many more people. Along the way, you'll find many campsites, restaurants, and villages, so this trail is considered to be a fairly simple hike. It's so popular because it goes around the highest peak in the Alps - Mont Blanc, and it offers the best views of Italy, Switzerland, and France, including alpine meadows, high-elevation pine tree forests, rich wildlife, and lots of crystal-clear streams and rivers.
