Күн бұрынThe Tour du Mont Blanc, or TMB for short, is one of the most famous long distance hikes in the world. We are thru hiking this beautiful trail, that runs trough France, Italy and Switzerland, in 11 days in a loop around the Mont Blanc massive. This film is about all the sections of the TMB, containing detailed trail maps of all stages, information about the trail and pinpoints of the exact locations. We are backpacking this trail in the end of June so early in the season of 2022. NO CAMPING, just hut to hut.

Mooie video die goede herinneringen oproept aan de twee keer dat ik de TMB mocht lopen. De bergen zijn nog even mooi als in 1968 en 1998, maar het is zo te zien veel drukker geworden. Mooi hoe jullie niet te ontmoedigen zijn door tegenslag met het weer. Zo te zien waren jullie laat in het seizoen of in een jaar met weinig sneeuw, want ik zag bijna geen sneeuwvelden bij de Col du Bonhomme. Goed dat jullie bijna de complete route in Italië hebben gelopen, geen afsnijders door het dal, want het Italiaanse deel vond ik het allermooiste.

Hi Carel! Wat een mooie woorden, dankjewel. Blij dat onze video veel goede herinneringen oproept. We waren er is eind juni, dus juist aan het begin van het seizoen. Maar het was een extreem laag sneeuw jaar. De paden waren inderdaad wel erg druk, dat zal in ‘68 en ‘98 vast heel anders zijn geweest. Alsnog was het echt een prachtige tocht en wij hopen ‘m ook meerdere keren te mogen lopen

FANTASTIC VIDEO (and Music) !!! It REALLY brought back memories - video much sharper than the MANY photos I took, back when I did the TMB (with 2 male friends) back in Sept 2012. We hiked over both Grand col Ferret and Fenetre d'Arpette, in very nice weather: They were, in equal parts, both Spectacular and Strenuous ! But even on the lower routes, it was nice to just enjoy the authentic architecture and cultural setting. I am so sorry that your weather did not always cooperate. We had thunder only twice: Overnight, while in Trient, and also late evening staying at Lac Blanc. But after Lac Blanc, Day 11 was All Rain, so we hiked downhill from near La Flegere back through Chamonix to Les Houches (and Hot Water !). Sad that your experience at Refuge Lac Blanc was so mixed in quality - confirming what I had read about the place in recent years. But, in contrast, Refuge de Balme seemed more friendly (to non-guests) than when we stopped there. I was apprehensive about The Ladders, but the first two were the only ones where I felt "exposed". Just Don't Look Down. Thanks Again !

@@Hikaholics wij zijn op dag 1 van Les Houches via Col de Tricot naar Les Contamines gelopen en daar de camping gepakt. Dag 2 van Les Contamines naar Les Chapieux, jullie zijn daar niet gekomen ivm de route over Col de Fours. Bij ons was die route eind juni niet veilig. Daarna hebben jullie ivm het weer het stuk naar Ref Elena en Col de Ferret overgeslagen. Wij zijn wel via die route naar La Fouly gelopen. Dat waren denk ik de grootste verschillen.

Thank you so much! That’s really sweet ❤️ we know people who have hiked the TMB during the winter months (November , December), but then there will be a lot of snow. You really have to be well equipped and experienced to hike this trail when there is a lot of snow. We hiked parts of the TMB in September and then there was no snow and the autumn colors where absolutely amazing! So yeah, keep a close eye on the trail conditions and decide for yourself if you are experienced enough for the conditions there are at that moment. Have you checked if refuge lac blanc has a winter room? Refuges leave a door open during the winter months for people to crash if they need a place to stay. Otherwise there is refuge de la flegere! Not sure if that one is open in October Ps: there are webcams around the mountains of chamonix for people to watch the trail conditions. For around lack of blanc you can watch the camera of flegere Pps: there is also a super helpful Facebook group for people who hike the TMB. Maybe you can find people there who will hike it in October as well and plan together?

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed our video 😍 there are shortcuts but not everywhere. The French side (around the Chamonix area) of the TMB has the most available shortcuts. But you can’t really avoid the bigger mountain passes to go to another country ( unless you have a car). Hope this helps a bit?

I have two questions - (1) Can someone use cable car, public transport and taxi along each stage to shorten the day hike? (2) Is it easy for someone to get a taxi or public transport to reach the next refuge if he decides to take a break from an expected long day and steep climb? Thanks.
@Hikaholics 6 ай бұрын
Hi there! Thank you for your compliments. And that's a great idea. Do have in mind that a lot of huts are already fully booked for upcoming year, so be quick with booking the refuges. To be honest, we self booked and self organised the whole TMB. And our goal was to finish it completely by foot. There are a few cable car spots you pass by (certainly the last stretch). But the trail doesn't follow a road or something. I think best is to contact an organisation which maybe can provide you with transport option and help you plan the trail. Hope this helps!

I wanted to know if you would be willing share how you successfully booked all of the huts you stayed the night in. For example, if you used a booking service or if you booked separately and if so, how you had to secure your bookings and things we should know if we are trying to book?

Thank you so much! Don’t worry about learning French. We only speak Dutch and English (and we know how to order coffee in French 😂), and we were perfectly fine during the TMB. It’s a super touristic area, so most people know English. We know the basics like good day (bonjour), thank you (merci) and little words like that. But it is absolutely not necessary. The thing we are drinking from is a water filter. It’s the one from sawyer. We also have the katadyn befree which we like more. There are enough regular water refill points during the trail, so a water filter is not necessary. If you want to drink from streams or other water sources during the trail, we would recommend carrying a filter. There are also tablets to filter your water. But if you drink water from the refugees and the big fountains along the way, you will be fine. Hope this helps!

Are the hiking places generally accessible by train? I'm quite inexperienced and a bit of overweight, do they organize the hike trails with difficulty levels? How do you train for the mountain hikes while in the Netherlands? :) Thank you and best of happiness!
@Hikaholics Жыл бұрын
Hi!! Ik geloof dat je ook Nederlands bent, dus ik antwoord lekker makkelijk in het Nederlands. (If not Dutch, please let me know and I will translate it!) Dat is een fantastisch idee. Europa heeft zo veel te bieden. Het is echt prachtig. Wij hebben eigenlijk pas sinds 1 week een auto, dus ja. De hiking areas zijn zeker toegankelijk met de trein. Soms is het wel handig om een bus rit erachteraan te plakken om er te komen. Ik zou de TMB niet aanraden als je geen ervaring hebt in de bergen. De trail is goed aangegeven, maar common berg-kennis is wel nodig. Zoals evenwicht, route planning, weer inschatten, en wat te doen in (levens)bedreigende situaties. De bergen hebben een eigen wil, en daar is het wel belangrijk voor om met vertrouwen erheen te gaan. Wij hebben zelf nog nooit een hike trail gelopen met een organisatie, omdat we allebei veel bergkennis hebben. Maar als het je eerste keer gaat zijn, kan met een gids mee gaan zeker leuk en leerzaam zijn. Ik weer zo twee mensen en een organisatie uit mijn hoofd (Nederlandse) die hiking trails organiseren: - Sietske van : www.meidenindebergen.com - Nicky van : www.shefeelsaliveinthemountains.com - TravelBase (hier kennen wij ook een aantal gidsen persoonlijk van): travelbase.eu/nl/landing Wij trainden zelf in Nederland voor langere tochten door lange afstanden te lopen met rugzak en bepakking op. Zo kan je wennen aan het tillen van gewicht. Daarnaast probeerden wij vooral onze kuiten te trainen, dus traplopen, in de sportschool op zo'n trede machine, en door de duinen of zandverstuivingen te lopen. PS: ook een tip hoe ik (Alette) ben gestart met bergwandelen is door dagtochten te gaan lopen. Dus 1 plek uitkiezen met een fijne uitvalsbasis en vanuit daar verschillende lengtes van tochten op een dag te lopen. Hierdoor hoef je niet alle spullen mee te slepen, en als het niet bevalt, weet je dat het slechts 1 dag afzien is haha ;) Laat het vooral weten als je meer vragen hebt! Liefs, Alette

@@dogdoghouse Courmayeur is a great place to stay in a hotel! There are some great pizza places to refuel 😛 Pfew, that's a tough question. Because it completely depends on the milage per day you go. Sections we considered challenging were: - the climb to Col du Bonhomme (stage 2 from our video series). It was a long climb without any shade. So mostly the sun did make us tired. - Stage 3+4 for us. Because we combined those two, since there wasn't any refuge closer by with spots for us to crash. So if you bring a tent and would go camping, that isn't a problem. However, the downhill from Bonhomme is a long one if you go via the variant. - Most of the time, the big mountain passes are the toughest ones, since you climb and decline a lot in one day. One refuge that stood out for us was G. Bertone, since the food there was sooooo good. Pasta for starters, big dinner and desert. It was the best. Hope this helps!
