The Tour of Mont Blanc (TMB) is Europe's most popular long-distance walk, encircling the highest mountain in the Alps (and arguably in the continent). This classic alpine route runs for 170 km (106 miles) and takes up to 11 days. You walk through France, Italy and Switzerland, overnighting in alpine refuges. Although the route involves a lot of ascent and descent, its highest pass is at only 2665 m (8750 ft), and no technical skills or equipment are needed. The scenery is superb: majestic glaciers and snow-laden peaks overlook peaceful lakes and alpine meadows.
