Ciencias de la Tierra
Geología y paisaje
The loop crosses the eastern Mont Blanc massif slope on gneiss and calcschists with deformed granite outcrops. The TMB trail follows Würmian glacial deposits of the Miage glacier with clearly visible lateral moraines. Below 1900 m, Ferret stream alluvial deposits and paleosols on decomposed moraines dominate. Forested slopes show acid soils with larch and rhododendron. The Miage glacier, a monitored glaciological front, shows evident retreat with proglacial lakes and recent lacustrine deposits. Marble and dolomitic limestone outcrops indicate the massif sedimentary cover.
Historia y cultura
The trail follows the Tour du Mont Blanc, a major alpine pilgrimage route. Rifugio Bonatti celebrates Walter Bonatti, pioneer of Italian alpine exploration.
