Tour du Mont Blanc Topographic Map & Guide

Located in the northwetern Alps, between the Aosta Valley and Haute-Savoie, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Europe at 4,808 metres (15,774 feet). The central part of the Mont Blanc Massif, always snow-covered, consists of a mountain range that crosses Italy, France, and Switzerland. The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) runs counterclockwise with start and finish in Les Houches, France. It covers approximately 170 km with clear signage, a 10,000-metre elevation gain (positive and negative), and takes 10 to 12 days to walk passing through France, Switzerland, and Italy. Travellers will have a chance to admire the spectacular landscapes: vast glacier areas, meadows rich in diverse flora, fascinating lunar-like rock landscapes, alpine pastures, charming villages, and refuges offering a comfortable place to rest
