Rated as one of the premier long-distance hikes in Europe, the Tour du Mont Blanc (aka TMB) had become a must on our hiking wish list. The trek encircles magnificent Mont Blanc as it travels through three countries, France, Italy
The Cicerone guidebook that I used to plan and hike with was by Kev Reynolds, Tour du Mont Blanc. It is an excellent day by day guide, full of information including detailed trail data, suggested accommodations and points of interest.
