Navigating the Tour du Mont Blanc means traversing international borders and a mosaic of local jurisdictions, all with unique camping regulations. It’s wise to inquire about the specific camping policies at each refuge and village you encounter. Also, always seek permission from landowners before setting up your tent on their land.
Here’s a general guideline to the camping rules across the three countries you’ll cross:
- In France, you’re allowed to bivouac from sunset until sunrise.
- Italy permits bivouacking above 2,500 meters, also from sunset to sunrise.
- In Switzerland, bivouacking is not allowed.

Craving Adventure?
The closest airport to the TMB is Geneva. Tip: Zurich is famous for losing luggage. I wouldn’t bring my expensive trekking poles on the plane because they get trashed or confiscated. Watch video here.
Just go to Decathlon or another store in Chamonix and get a cheap pair and leave it for the next trekker.
