# About Us

Built by Hikers, for Hikers

## Our Story

I'm Hugo, hiking enthusiast and the person behind TMB Guide. Based in Annecy in the French Alps, I've spent multiple seasons trekking the Tour du Mont Blanc and surrounding trails. After years of planning trips around Mont Blanc, I noticed it felt unnecessarily complicated. Finding the right itinerary, booking mountain refuges, understanding trail conditions - too many hikers spend more time researching than actually enjoying the mountains. So I decided to build the resource I wished I had.

Behind the scenes, we partner with a family-run adventure travel agency founded in 1983 and based in the French Alps. With over 40 years of experience, a team of 20+ travel specialists, and 40+ professional mountain guides holding state-certified diplomas, they bring deep logistical expertise to every trip. When you're ready to turn your plans into reality, we handle the details - refuge reservations, luggage transfers, detailed roadbooks - so you can focus entirely on the trail.

## Trail Credentials
