The Tour du Mont Blanc: An Unforgettable Alpine Adventure

The Tour du Mont Blanc, or TMB, is one of the most famous and popular treks in the world. This long-distance hiking trail invites you to circumnavigate the Mont Blanc massif, the roof of Europe, through three countries: France, Switzerland, and Italy.

 

Immersion in the heart of the Alps

As you traverse the 170 kilometers of the TMB, you will encounter breathtaking alpine landscapes: lush valleys, sparkling glaciers, larch forests, blooming alpine meadows, and snow-capped peaks. Every step brings you closer to the wild and preserved nature of the Alps.

 

The jewels of the trail

The TMB is full of natural and cultural treasures:

  • Chamonix Valley: The traditional starting point, Chamonix is a dynamic city with stunning views of Mont Blanc.
  • High-altitude lakes: Lake Blanc, Lake Combal, Lake Champex... These natural gems offer incredible reflections of the massif.
  • Picturesque villages: Les Houches, Les Contamines-Montjoie, Courmayeur... Each village has its own charm and history.
  • Wildlife and flora: Marmots, chamois, eagles... You can observe a rich and varied fauna. The alpine flora, with its colorful flowers, will amaze you at every turn.

 

A unique experience

The TMB is more than just a hike. It's a true adventure that will leave a lasting impression. You'll push your limits, discover new landscapes, meet wonderful people, and return transformed.

 

The comfort of luggage transport

To allow you to fully enjoy your hike without being weighed down by your bag, La Malle Postale offers a luggage transport service. This service allows you to leave your bag at your accommodation or refuge each evening, and find it again the next morning. You can then hike with a light backpack, containing only what you need for the day.

 

Benefits of luggage transport :

  • More comfort: You hike lighter and are less tired.
  • More freedom: You can choose your own pace and stop whenever you want.
  • More safety: You don't have to worry about your bag and you can fully enjoy the scenery.
