Sadie and I recently got back from backpacking 118 miles in 7 days on the Tour Du Mont Blanc in France, Italy and Switzerland and it was incredible! We bought the tickets only about a month prior to leaving and figured it out as we went. Keep an eye out for the full trip film coming soon! Is this trip on your bucket list?

@matthewleither7275 10 ай бұрын

There is a trekking company that does a guided hike tour of Du Mont Blanc. It looks unreal. You and your videos have definitely influenced me to hike/get out more and see the sights.

Thanks for the video. We are going to do it with my wife starting next week. We didn't have time to plan either, so I'm happy to hear that it worked well for you. Looking forward to a more in depth description of the route you took.

Thank you!! This was super helpful mate. The info around refuges , camping, accommodation, meals was exactly what i was looking for. Did you guys also use showers at the refuges? If so, how was the accessibility.....Was it only for staying guests or non guests could also use it for a fee?

@ChaseChristopher1 3 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! We did not use any showers at refuges so I am not sure how that would work. sorry!

Hi! thanks for the informative video, really enjoyed it. I would greatly appreciate your help... I suppose to land in Geneva on July 2 at 9:40 am I wanted to know if you think I will be able to get to Les Contamines Montjoie (14km +/-) on the same day or is it better for me to wait the day in Chamonix and start the trek the day after?

@ChaseChristopher1 Ай бұрын

You’re very welcome! Possible? Absolutely. I don’t think you’d regret spending a day in Chamonix seeing the town and getting a fresh start the next day, though. Have fun either way!

@angelalau28 10 ай бұрын

Can you bring trekking poles, tent stakes on plane? Do you need to check-in your full Rei backpack? Thank you. We will hike TMB in Sep, also want to avoid luggage loss in transit...

@ChaseChristopher1 10 ай бұрын

I have heard of people carrying both on the plane without issues but also have heard of people having problems. We just carried on our whole REI bags to avoid checking anything and bought poles when we arrived for $30 a piece. We used our trekking poles as our tent stakes. We had hopes of traveling to other cities after the hike and decided that not having trekking poles after would be more convenient so we gave them away. Hope that helps!

Hi whar did u stay and whar was the lockers

@ashtenmock7988 Ай бұрын

Did you have any group carrying your packs on the plane? We check our tent and trekking poles because we have heard they aren’t always allowed. And our bags we didn’t think they would allow on cause they are so big

@ChaseChristopher1 Ай бұрын

We didn’t have any problem only doing carry on. We bought tent stakes and trekking poles in Chamonix when we got there.

Were you able to bring your tent on the carry on? Also, how did you plan out where to wild camp? And which campsites did you need to buy for? Also which hostels do you go at?

@ChaseChristopher1 3 ай бұрын

Yes, we brought the tent on carry on without the stakes. We didn’t really plan anything out, we just figured it out day to day. The whole itinerary/where we stayed is on my blog post roadtoridge.com/adventures/backpacking-118-miles-in-7-days-on-the-tour-du-mont-blanc-our-gear-itinerary?format=amp

@@ChaseChristopher1 also for the campsites did you prebook the ones in switzerland or did you just pay up front with cash or card?

@ChaseChristopher1 3 ай бұрын

@@bradleycrissman6554 I think I pre-booked it on my phone the night before and paid the balance with cash once we arrived. I think it would be ok to just show up and pay on the spot, cash or card.

@@ChaseChristopher1 Thank you, I read through your blog and checked out your website. Great content! Looking forward to watching more of your travel videos. We did manage to find the hostel name by looking at the corkboard on your video as you were approaching the hostel. The name on the hostel itself was not providing us with the correct search. Hi! France is where we were able to book it, not through any other platforms. Thanks again for messaging back and Happy Travels!!

220$ for a Nemo sleeping pad...tent 550$....nope...

@ChaseChristopher1 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, they are quite pricey. There certainly are cheaper options available that’ll do just fine but are heavier.

Good gear is worth every penny...spent the night in Timpanogos mountain pouring down rainstorm...woke up dry as a bone, our Nemo tent exceeded expectations!
