We explored the Alps and in particular Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) multiple times. Our founder and one of the guides Mima trekked western part of the TMB first time back in 2016, then the following year went back to Chamonix and did the entire 175km of TMB, trekking through three countries: France, Italy and Switzerland. Afterwards we successfully led the group on TMB in 2019 and latest one was in summer of 2024.

What to say, folks?! We love the Alps - the vibe, scenery, nature, people - all just spectacular! So, we are always up to go back and do it all over again. Every time we go back, there are new perspectives to grasp, new things to learn about ourselves, others, the nature. We believe that mountains and nature are great teachers in life. Hence, it gives us immense joy to share this with you!

You meet your trek guide Mima and your group companions in Chamonix any time between 6-9PM on this day. Overnight stay in Chamonix.
