- The iconic sections of the TMB and how they’re paced day by day
- What comfort actually means on a long-distance alpine hike

- Who this style of TMB is best suited for
- How to prepare physically and mentally without overthinking it
The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world’s great hikes. A legendary loop through France, Italy, and Switzerland, framed by glaciers, high passes, and storybook Alpine villages.
But it’s often imagined as an all-or-nothing challenge: crowded huts, heavy packs, rushed days, and nights spent recovering rather than resting.
As a lifelong mountain professional—raised in Chamonix by a mountain guide father and shaped by decades on skis and trails—Sébastien shares how the TMB can be experienced thoughtfully, comfortably, and still authentically.
You’ll learn how hotel-based hiking allows for better sleep, balanced pacing, and deeper immersion in the landscape, without sacrificing the heart of the adventure. This session isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about doing the TMB well.
If the Tour du Mont Blanc is on your list—but you want clarity before committing—this webinar is your first, reassuring step.
