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

    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!
