The Tour Du Mont Blanc - Day 1 - Solo Hiking & Wildcamping
The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the most popular long-distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc massif, covering a distance of roughly 170 kilometres (110 mi) with 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of ascent/descent and passing through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France.
Come join me on my little adventure as I solo hike the TMB over 7 days

Really pleased that you've done the TMB and even better that you've filmed it for us. I've tabbed it a couple of times myself and always thought it would be a great one for you to do, as you have a unique and very watchable style. That's my viewing sorted for the next week. Cheers dude.

Great video :) im going the 14th aug - 25th aug. I dont have "planned" campsites yet, is it easy enough to find campspots if i just go refugee to refugee, or is it hard and has to be planned beforehand, do i have to be in x time etc? im really getting stressed about the amount of planning, and feel like just going, but i also dont want a 500 euro fine or smthing, or whatever they do in switzerland. I will be sleeping in a carinthia bivibag, so i can hide easily in forrests etc, but i dont know

Mid July
What time of year did you do your walk. I'm planning on doing it this June 16th? I'm a bit concerned I'm going to early on the year!

Hiya, I did it the last week of July. Your date should be fine, so long as there's been no heavy snow over the winter. The staff in each refuge will know what the route is like Good luck!
Where can I find the route you followed?

I just downloaded the classic low level route. Then downloaded the alternate routes after. I can't remember from where, but it should be easy to find. It's incredibly well signposted
can you pay up front to these campsites? or do you need to book in advance and where do you do that?
@darrencurtisuk

I didnt book, just made sure I had enough time to find somewhere else to stay if it was fully booked. Loads of places to wildcamp once high up away from sight
You can open up a butcher's shop with all these names you are butchering 🙂😭 great video so far
