2026 TMB Tour of Mont-Blanc Trekking – The Starry Sky Experience
The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is universally regarded by hiking enthusiasts as a world-class trekking route. The Mont Blanc massif, with its highest peak at 4,810 meters, spans the borders of France, Switzerland, and Italy. The Alps, despite their lower altitudes compared to other major mountain ranges, are home to permanent glaciers and year-round snow, allowing trekkers to experience the beauty of snow-capped mountains, high-altitude hiking culture, and the diverse customs of European countries without the worry of altitude sickness.
