Recent weeks have seen several groups undertaking the Demi Tour du Mont Blanc, from Contamines to Courmayeur. This photo shows a group on the summit of the Tête Nord des Fours, which at 2756m is the highest point of any variant on the TMB. Currently conditions are great on the whole route, and all the remaining snow patches are avoidable. Icicle offers a range of TMB courses to offer the full circuit over 10 days, or a highlights of the TMB over a week, or a demi-TMB over three days. There is also a self-guided TMB option for those who want to do this classic trek on their own, but with the logistical support of our Chamonix office, as well as route descriptions and maps.
