Self-guided TMB
Rating
Reviewed by: Laurel
We had such a great trip around the TMB with Run The Alps. The coordination with the company staff was so easy and they helped us alter sections of the trip to fit our personal goals (for us this was staying in more refugios and running ~15-25 miles per day). The whole trip was so well organized; the included GPX/paper maps were accurate and easy to use; it was also helpful having the recommendations of places to stop at/get water during the run and recommended restaurants in the cities.
Why
We chose this trip through Run the Alps because we wanted to do the TMB route with light running packs and have a company organize the places to stay along the way.
Advice
Taking a short day/rest day in Courmayeur gave us a chance to see the town and recover physically which I think helped us really enjoy the second half of the run.
Highlight
Staying in the refugios! Meeting so many different people also doing the route as well as the employees of the refugio, the food was delicious at the refugios, and it is so incredible to wake up with the incredible views out the refugio windows.
