The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the classic and most popular long-distance trekking trails in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc mountains ranges, covering a distance of roughly 170 km with 10 km of ascent/descent and passes through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France. The circular route is normally walked in a counter-clockwise direction in 11 days. It is also the route of an annual mountain marathon, Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), in which the winner normally covers the entire distance in less than 24 hours (source: internet).
