Trixie and Vix's Itinerary of Tour du Mont Blanc - June 24-July 11, 2009

Vix and I will be tackling the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB), a 170 km trail, this June and July. Our hike around Mont Blanc will take us thru three countries: France, Italy, and Switzerland.

The TMB is typically done in 10-11 days, however, we might take longer depending if we decide on having an extra rest day here or there, or take day trips to Milan, etc. Stay tuned!


  • June 24th: train from Ottawa-Montreal; flight from Montreal-Geneva
  • June 25-26th: Arrive in Geneva, travel to Chamonix, France and relax for 2 days
  • June 27th- July 9th: TMB and to quote Vicki “Hike, eat baguettes, cheese, and chocolate and drink coffee [tea] and wine [beer] ... oh! and talk to lovely European men.”
  • July 10th: Geneva, Switzerland
  • July 11th: Flight from Geneva-Montreal; train from Montreal-Ottawa
