Hey there, welcome to Travel with Tony! I'm Tony, your host, and I've been bitten hard by the travel bug. In the past decade, I've explored over 40 countries, from cruising through the icy waters of Antarctica to playing trumpet with a band in Japan and New Zealand. I've hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc in Europe, I studied Spanish in Argentina, and I even tracked lions on safari in Kenya. For me, travel isn’t just a vacation — it’s about diving headfirst into different cultures, exploring breathtaking landscapes, and building stories that last a lifetime.

010: Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc across France and Italy

In this episode of Explore with Tony, I relive my experience hiking half of the Tour du Mont Blanc, from France into Italy. What was originally supposed to be a three-day trek turned into an ambitious—and slightly ridiculous—27-mile day when we decided to push through in the heat, dodging sheep and racing the sunset. I share the highs, the lows, and what I’d do differently next time. Whether you’re planning this trek yourself or just love a good travel story, this one’s for you!


Here's some ideas based on where we stayed:

  • Refuge Miage campground (France)

    Refuge de la Croix du Bonhomme (France)

    Rifugio Elisabetta (Italy)

  • Chalet Plan Gorret (Courmayeur, Italy)


    • Tour du Mont Blanc Overview: Guide to Trekking the TMB
