About Tour du Mont Blanc
The Tour du Mont Blanc circles the Mont Blanc massif through France, Italy and Switzerland, staying in mountain refuges and gites along the way. Most member huts book through the official Tour du Mont Blanc platform, while several independent refuges take bookings on their own pages or by email. Stages fill within days of reservations opening, so the usual advice is to book in October or November for the following summer.
