Known closures
Refuge du Col de la Croix du Bonhomme · Closed for full renovation from August 2026 to spring 2029 (FFCAM). Alternatives: Nant Borrant, La Balme, Les Chapieux or Mottets via Col des Fours.
Types of accommodation
Huts
Dorms or small rooms up high, half board (dinner, bed, breakfast). The TMB atmosphere, but few beds: book early.
Hostels
Hostels in villages or pastures: dorms or rooms, often half board, sometimes with a kitchen. A bit more comfort and flexibility.
Hotels
In the stage villages (Les Houches, Les Contamines, Courmayeur, Champex, La Fouly, Argentière). Private rooms and showers, but pricier.
Campsites
Valley campsites, often with showers. The cheapest option, at the cost of a heavier pack.
Bivouac
Designated bivouac areas, mandatory in French nature reserves. No services, just an authorised place for a tent.
Unstaffed shelters
Unstaffed shelters: a roof, sometimes bunks, nothing more. Only as a fallback or off season, carrying all your gear.
