How should I pack for each day?
We will transport your luggage from hotel to hotel, so you only need to carry stuff that you will need for that day. If there is a night where you do not have access to your main luggage, you just need to pack some over-night essentials such as basic toiletries, spare underwear, socks and T shirt.
How old should I be to participate on the Tour du Mont Blanc?
You need to be confident of your fitness: the TMB is a tough multi-day trek. However, children less than eighteen years of age should be accompanied by an adult on the trip.
