About Me

In 2001 I spent eight days walking the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Now I’ve got the chance to go back with my wife, who’s never done it before. This time, we’ll be taking on the circuit together.
The plan is simple: carry a tent, keep costs down, and camp where we can rather than relying on pricey refuges.
We’ve got nine days to complete the route, so it’ll be a steady but rewarding pace.
Follow along as we make our way around Mont Blanc.
The Tour du Mont Blanc is a roughly 160 km circuit through France, Italy, and Switzerland, circling the highest peak in Western Europe.
