Adventure Highlights
Incredible Nature
The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is hands down the most scenic and epic multi-day hike. It leads you through beautiful mountain passes, valleys, forests, glaciers, wildflower fields, rivers, and azure lakes around the Mont Blanc massif, the highest peak in Western Europe.
Personal Challenge
This isn’t just a hike around Mont Blanc; it’s a journey within yourself. It might challenge you and push your limits, but we guarantee that you’ll come out of it stronger, with newfound clarity, a profound sense of accomplishment, and the realisation that you’re capable of far more than you ever imagined.
Expertly Designed Itinerary
With our expertly designed 10-day itinerary, you won’t need to worry about the logistics of booking accommodations, navigating through the mountainous terrain, or ensuring you don’t miss the tour’s highlights.
Daily Yoga
Each day, we kick things off with revitalising breathwork practices, and in the evenings, we dive into calming yoga asana and meditation sessions to help you unwind and prepare for a well-deserved rest. We’ll introduce you to powerful practices to equip you with the tools for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Cultural Immension
We will be walking from one mountain hut to another where we’ll have a unique opportunity to fully embrace the rich Alpine mountain culture, savour the flavours of local cuisine and meet other TMBers.
