The route is described in both directions in 11 daily stages between 7 and 21km (5–13 miles) in length. Variant routes and alternative stages are also provided, giving the option of visiting cols, refuges and viewpoints not included on the official TMB route.

About the Author

A collaborative effort between Kev Reynolds and Jonathan and Lesley Williams who – following Kev’s death in December 2021 – updated and refreshed the route details, planning resources and maps based on research trips in 2022 and 2023. Jonathan and Lesley are retiring from being Cicerone’s publisher and marketing director (respectively), so have few excuses for not spending days in the hills.
