    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

    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.

    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?

    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
      @ChaseChristopher1  Před 2 měsíci +1

      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
    @angelalau28 Před 11 měsíci +1

    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
      @ChaseChristopher1  Před 11 měsíci

      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!

  • @ashtenmock7988
    @ashtenmock7988 Před 2 měsíci +1

    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
      @ChaseChristopher1  Před 2 měsíci

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

      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.
