Tour du Mont Blanc: book early for an exceptional trek

170 km, three countries, one of the finest treks in the world. But also a fragile, much sought-after place, which we now try to protect. Hence a simple principle: plan ahead. Reservations open on 15 October, and the refuges are full by January.

An exceptional trek, a place we protect

Hanging glaciers, passes above 2,500 m, authentic high-altitude villages, the wild face of the roof of Europe: the Tour du Mont Blanc is a legendary route, walked every summer by hikers from all over the world. That popularity has a flip side, and the valley’s communities are now working to manage it, to preserve these landscapes and high pastures.

Booking early isn’t just a matter of logistics, then: it’s part of respecting the place. Concretely, for summer 2027, reservations open on 15 October and the refuges fill up from January. Planning ahead is how you make sure you live this trek — at the right time, in the right conditions.

Our self-guided isn’t just a logistics pass

Yes, we take care of everything: booked accommodation, your luggage transferred stage to stage across the three countries, a complete roadbook with GPX tracks. All you have to do is walk, at your own pace. But at Nuyama, we don’t stop there.

Before each departure, we take the time for an in-person briefing with your group: we go over the route together, answer your questions, and explain what really matters — protecting nature, how to behave around herds and livestock-guarding dogs, respecting the high pastures.

You walk free, but never truly alone

Throughout your trek, a 24/7 hotline is at your disposal: a question, a doubt about the weather, something unexpected? We’re on the other end of the line. You walk in total freedom — solo, as a couple, with friends — but you’re never left to fend for yourself.

From one country to the next, refuge to refuge

France, Italy, Switzerland: the Tour du Mont Blanc is also the magic of changing country, language and cuisine as you cross the passes. On the Italian side, you savour sunny terraces and the dolce vita of a refuge, a plate of pasta facing the Grandes Jorasses. All that cross-border logistics — lodging, transfers, shuttles — we handle it. You just enjoy.

We’re from here

That’s the real difference: we don’t sell a standardised package, we share terrain we know by heart. The lodges, the variants to suit your level, the conditions of the moment, the spots worth pausing at: our job is to turn logistics into an experience — the finest one possible.

Prefer to be guided? The guided TMB

For those who’d rather travel with a guide, there’s the guided TMB: a small group (6 people maximum) and a professional at your side. Beyond the day-to-day management, it’s the sharing, the anecdotes, the lessons, and all the history of this legendary Alpine route coming to life along the way. Let’s talk.
