Itinerary Check and Questions!
Hi!
My partner and I did 3 nights/4 days on the AV1 last summer and we are planning to do TMB next summer with a friend. We are currently in the planning stage so we can be ready to book accommodations when they open in Oct. Hoping to get feedback on the current plan.
10 days on trail, 11 days total + 2 travel days. We are ideally looking to do private rooms or hotels where possible. Main questions are is this reasonable and can we combine days anywhere?? Any variants we should not miss? Any feedback welcome!
Hotel du bois for night before the start
Day 1: Les Houches → Les Contamines
Chalet hotel gai soleil
Day 2: Les Contamines → Les Chapieux
Col de fours variant
Les chambre du soleil has a triple room.
Day 3: Les Chapieux → Rifugio Elisabetta or Cabane du Combal
How realistic is it to go the extra ~50mins to Cabane du Combal? Is it further than 50m?
Day 4: Rifugio Elisabetta → Courmayeur
Hotel Crampon
Day 5: Courmayeur → Val Ferret (Lavachey)
Mont de la saxe route.
Hotel Lavechet or chalet Val Ferret
Day 6: Val Ferret → La Fouly (via Grand Col Ferret)
Hotel Edelweiss
Can we combine day 5 and 6 or is that too much?
Day 7: La Fouly → Champex-Lac
Hotel Splendide.
Rest day so staying full day + two nights
Day 8: Rest Day
Day 9: Champex-Lac → Trient
Fenêtre d'Arpette variant if possible
Hotel Grande Ourse
Day 10: Trient → Argentière
Le dahu hotel
Day 11: Argentière → Chamonix
Lac blanc variant
Hotel Lyret
