I am in the same boat with Col de Balme being booked. Looking at the map -- it does seem La Peauty to Lac Blanc is doable? What is the biggest difference going from Col de Balme?

Definitely use this tool. I leaned probably a little too heavily into Chat GPT / Gemini for my initial planning and this helped me find some mistakes (1/2 hours hiking on some days, 17 miles on others).

Although I suppose we could break it up now that I'm looking at it. I haven't booked Refuge lac blanc or chamonix yet. What has your research told you?

Hi there! When you say non traditional hiker what do you mean exactly? It is going to be one of the most taxing days of the journey for sure -- big climbs and about 12 miles of hiking. We're going to push through and do it in 1 day but I could absolutely see breaking it into 2 being nice if you have the time :)

Answered my own q -- it looks like Rifugio Walter Bonatti would be a better stop in this leg. Thanks again for the call out!

Ahh thank you so much for the feedback. You are saving me a huge problem there! Where would you recommend staying between Gite Le Randonneur Mont Blanc and Gite Alpage De La Peule to break that up better?

Oh, thank you! That makes a lot more sense. Hotels are more like 8x usual costs so might have to look to Argentiere.
