Planning a trail-running trip to Chamonix? Or dreaming of taking on the Tour du Mont-Blanc? Éditions Vamos has just released the guidebook many trail runners have been waiting for: Trail Chamonix & Mont-Blanc, featuring a selection of 30 trail routes (plus 15 alternative variations) within an hour of Chamonix and around the Mont Blanc massif. And the good news? All of these routes are also available in their digital version on Whympr, making it easy to plan, navigate, and explore directly from the app.
30 Trail Routes, 5 Areas, One Incredible Playground
Clément Guillot and Astrid Renet, both certified mountain leaders and the authors of this guidebook, have carefully curated a selection of 30 trail routes (+ 15 alternative variations) across five key areas: Chamonix, Les Fiz, Le Tour/Vallorcine, Switzerland, and the Tour du Mont-Blanc (TMB).
Each route includes a detailed map, full-color photos, and all the essential information you need before heading out: route profile, elevation gain, access details, navigation guidance, technical difficulty, level of commitment, best season, and potential hazards.
The TMB Takes Center Stage in This Guidebook
The Tour du Mont-Blanc (TMB) receives special attention in this guidebook. Broken down into six stages, it becomes accessible whether you have a single weekend, a few trail-running outings, or a full week to dedicate to the adventure.
Each stage also includes alternative route options, allowing you to make the experience more alpine or adjust the elevation gain depending on your fitness level, goals, and how your legs are feeling on the day.
