As you hike, make a reservation at the next hut before you leave your current hut in the morning. Our advice is to book just your first few nights. Membership in an organization is not required to use the huts, but discounts apply to some alpine club members.
( This is one good reason to sign-on with a guided tour rather than hiking it independently.) There is not yet any one place you can book everything for the entire tour. If you are not tenting, the biggest hassle with doing the TMB independently is getting reservations for accommodation. checking trip reports (bottom of this page) is another excellent way to get a feel for how much distance you will want to hike each dayįirst decision: do you want to stay in huts and gîtes, or carry your own tent & gear? (off-season many huts are closed so you have no choice.).get one of our recommended hiking guide books to decide how many days you wish to spend hiking the TMB.Lac Blanc and Le Brevent … perhaps unrivalled in the Alps. if you cannot hike the entire circuit, recommended are the days either side of the Italian town of Courmayeru, and the days above Chamonix, around La Flégerè.most start and finish at Les Houches, close to Chamonix, one of our top 10 hiking towns in the world.at times there are several different paths all heading the same direction.French is the main language of the TMB though Italian is useful too.cable-cars and chair-lifts are cheating, but you certainly may want to use them to shorten some hiking days (available June-Sept during daylight hours).you need climb iron ladders bolted into the mountain.mountain huts can be crowded & noisy (we prefer tenting, to be truthful).
DEMI KILOMETRE CHINOIS FULL
mid-July through August accommodation may be full.late afternoon thunderstorms are common.off-season footing can be treacherous.
it can snow on high passes any day of the year.chance to see ibex and chamois in the wild.you can carry your own tent, if you prefer, even tenting close to the huts so you can buy meals.visit France, Italy and Switzerland in one hike.good signage though you still need a guidebook.frequent opportunities to buy food & supplies.by staying in huts ( refuge in French, rifugio in Italian) and hostels ( gîtes), and eating your meals there, you can hike with a very light pack.the most famous long distance hike in Europe is a terrific challenge, but with creature comforts en route.circumambulate Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe (4810m, 15,781ft).You can recommend improvements by leaving recommendations or links in the comments on this page.
