About the Mont Blanc Loop
The Tour du Mont Blanc - often called the TMB, Mont Blanc Loop, or Ultra Tour du Mont Blanc - is one of Europe’s most celebrated long-distance hiking trails. Circling Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, the route winds through spectacular alpine landscapes across France, Italy, and Switzerland. Over roughly 170 kilometers, hikers experience dramatic glaciers, wildflower meadows, high mountain passes, and charming alpine villages. Typically completed in 7–11 days, the TMB is renowned for its well-marked paths, welcoming mountain refuges, and deep mountaineering heritage. Its blend of cultural diversity, breathtaking scenery, and physical challenge has made it one of the most iconic multi-day treks in the world.
