TMB Checklist
That’s the whole point of a hut to hut hike, they provide the linens, food, drinks and comfortable accommodations on the top of a mountain.
It’s not a camping or backpacking trip in the traditional style.
You may want to bring mountain walkie talkies if you are going in a group so you can split up if needed.
Booking Tips
Also for people wanting a chance to do Tour du Mont Blanc hike, it’s a good idea not to wait to book your huts. It’s one of the best trekking trails in Europe and it gets busy. Shoot me an email and I can point you in the right direction to a concierge that can do all your bookings for huts if you want.
I wrote up a checklist to make it easier to stuff everything into luggage for a flight to Geneva – You can see it’s not really much which is the advantage of hut to hut hiking
A great pack, some hiking boots and a few essentials are all you really need.
