@@khlkh2367 hi do check out my last video of the series, where I share the 3d2n itinerary of where I went! Feel free to pm me

@hikingwithqs hi QS , you meant at the description? If yes , let me check it out in a while . Will PM you for more info if needed. Thanks and really appreciate your reply.

@@khlkh2367 I'm happy to answer your questions in the comments if you are okay!

@hikingwithqs hi qs , do you engage any agent for luggage transfer and transport ? You fly into which city from your home country I assumed is Singapore. If you engaged agent for arrangement could you share tje info . Each inn you stayed along the trail how much per nite and could you share the names . Thanks

@khlkh2367 I didn't use any agent. Day zero was at Onn Nakatsugawa, booked through booking dot com. Then Magome Chaya and Kiso Mikawaya for day 1 and 2, all through the same platform, it's quite easy and fuss free. I left my luggage at Onn Nakatsugawa and returned on day 3 for one more night.

I went around 3rd week of June. It differs every year, so on certain years there are more snow. In my year, thankfully the snow is clearing up the week before I started. Snow wouldn't be an issue if you bring crampons or if you hike in the early morning and end by early afternoon when the snow is hard and not slippery. It is always great to try to do it a little off-peak to enjoy the trail more, all the best!

@@shivatamang8587 it takes about 2hrs if you are a seasoned hiker

@russBrownrigg December is a lot colder and wet, be sure to have your jacket and raincoat!

@@hikingwithqs Thank you for your advice, very kind of you to take time . I hope to see more of your adventures.

The path is quite clear throughout the hike and there are many people hiking. You can use GPS if you are trying to do a variant, but otherwise I think the signs are enough.

Thank you very much for this information. The experience will be beautiful.

I don't have the full route but you can try using bits of 2 different routes on Alltrails to get there. 1. Angon to Chalet de l'Aulp de Montmin (only the first part of this map) www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/france/haute-savoie/roc-lancrenaz-col-des-fretes-et-verel-depuis-angon 2. Chalet de l'Aulp to the summit (#2 onwards) www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/france/haute-savoie/la-tournette-via-chemin-du-col-de-l-aulp

Thank you so much 😊

@ANDRE1mang thank you! Hiking shoes is always recommended when hiking mountains as it is a lot safer with good shoes, especially when going down. Gloves are optional if it is only a day hike - I find it useful for sections with rope or metal supports. Summertime morning is good but check the weather forecast for rain before going. If a storm is predicted, hike another day.

Enjoy your hike and hope you found the video useful! I was there in April.

A little over SGD100 last year's rate. I think if you contact him directly using the the link in description, maybe he'll charge you cheaper. I used a platform which may have taken a bit of a fee in between.

Thankyou very much for your info@@hikingwithqs

Hello! I'm actually not too sure where to start myself, since I hired a guide who drove me to the starting point on a motorbike. There are information available online easily, and you can also try to use Alltrails for navigation. Websites will be able to tell you where to start along the QL4D road.

9hrs starting at about 8am!

Excellent, thanks! I’m planning the same and I’m collecting information about 😅

I went through Col des Four and total time was 9hrs, starting from 8am and ending at 5pm. Very tough day!

The next one will be longer :) This hike is very short but still a nice hike for beginners!

@@hikingwithqs Hi there I meant length of video recordings 🎥🎞, thanks anyway, 🚶🏻‍♂️Keep safe & Take care! 🚶🏻‍♂️

June is the earliest period to do TMB if you are not intending to bring snow crampons. There are more people in July - Sep on the trail. Thunderstorm is hard to predict, it can occur on certain weeks if you are unlucky, so this can't be planned. I did my laundry manually in the toilet 😂 the clothes I brought were all fast drying so if you have an hour before sunset, they should dry. Refuges are mostly few hours apart, in some cases they are further, so check the map and plan your route! You should get to know your hiking speed by the first day 😉

Thanks!!!

Enjoy your hike!

2nd half of June!

I started at 6am and reached summit at 11.20am. Came down by 4pm.

If you want to use the toilet facilities for shower and have a great dinner and breakfast, then you pay. Otherwise it is free to camp at most campsites!

@@hikingwithqsVery nice. Thanks for responding.

Thank you! I used alltrails for the first part of the hike (you can find it easily with "bukhansan" keyword and it's the first one). After reaching the peak, I self-navigated to Jeungneung :) The area is quite easy to navigate due to the clear paths. Enjoy your hike!

Yup it's not too bad actually! I would think the worst reviews come from refuge de la croix du bonhomme or refuge lac blanc!

You must go to Autourdumontblanc website, but there are some refuges that only take bookings by email, so you have to search for them online.

I believe you can, but not recommended because you will be unlikely to make it past the ranger station at the base without the guide. If you skip the station and get into a situation where you need help, it may cause trouble to the hiking community if the authorities tighten the rules for tourists.

how much does the guide cost?

I remember paying a little over SGD100 for a one person solo private adventure. You should check out their website in the link and ask for a quotation from Khai!@@zaynpoly2354

Not every Refuge is reachable by car. Your friend might have to stay in the towns every night, and drive to the next town. The towns are Chamonix, Les Contamines, Les Chapieux, Courmayeur, La Fouly, Champex Lac, Trient and Argentiere. You will pass by these players on the hike.

It is moderate if you do it over 2 days, but doing it in a day requires hiking experience and stamina. The trail is straightforward. I did it with the guide you see in the video, link in the description.

Easy mode

I think it shouldn't be a big problem if you are okay with cold. It is the beginning of cooler temperatures and you have less snow issues than June, although you should still check the conditions on FB groups before heading out. It might get quite cold at night or when it rains.

Glad you found inspiration! Good luck and hope you'll enjoy your hike :)

Hi KS, are you from the little red dot? I saw your cap and figured you are. I have booked for TMB next year, though waiting for the agent to confirm all accommodations, it seems like they plan around Bonatti!

@glennneo9304 Awesome! I hope you'll enjoy your hike! Bonatti is reputable and shouldn't go wrong I think, and they are only bookable some time in Nov.

I'm starting to miss TMB already!

Nice to have met both of you!
