Hike Europe – The Tour du Mont Blanc
If you are interested in hiking the European wilderness, consider hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB). The tour takes approximately eleven days and covers 100 miles of France, Italy and Switzerland mountains and forests. The trek is rigorous, with several height changes – a combined height gain and loss of 33,000 feet. As you would expect the views are exceptional.
Visit http://www.walkingthetmb.com/ to schedule your tour and get information on accommodations (tent or refuge) along the tour and what equipment you will need for this specific trip. The site was put together by a group of people who have made the hike and wanted to share their valuable learnings and resources with others. For example, the site recommends that you hike the TMB using walking poles. They also recommend common survival kit items like a multi-purpose knife, GPS unit, and a LED headlamp.
If you are looking for a different way to see Europe, a hike along the TMB may be just what you are looking for.
