Express Tour du Mont-Blanc Self-Guided
The Tour du Mont-Blanc is the most famous trail running route in the world, and for good reason. Wandering over mountain trails from France, to Italy, to Switzerland and back into France, the “TMB” covers 170km (106 miles) and 10,000m (32,800ft) of ascent and descent and includes some of the most iconic mountain terrain anywhere.
This is our most challenging self-guided trip – a true high-mountain trail run for experienced trail runners who can take care of themselves in big terrain over long days that include technical trails and lots of vert. On this level 4 tour, you’ll be covering 20 -30 miles (30 – 50 km) and two to three mountain passes each day. If you’re not sure whether this trip is right for you, please get in touch.
On this self-guided trail running vacation, we organize all of the key logistics for you, including baggage transfer. This means you can run with just a light trail running vest – and still have all your items available at the end of each day’s run. It’s a perfect trip for trail runners looking for big days out or to prepare for a race in the area.
