Question 5

When is the best time to do the TMB?

Accepted Answer

The best time to do the Tour du Mont Blanc is from June to September.  
At the beginning of June the trails are not yet too busy, but there is often snow on the higher parts of the tour. For experienced hikers or with our guided groups, this is a very pleasant period.  
From 15 July to 15 August the trails are most crowded. This is the best time to meet hikers from all over the world!  
After mid-August and until the end of September, it is quite possible to do the Tour du Mont Blanc. The accommodations are still open, the days are mild and the paths are quieter.
