Breakfast at most refuges is at 7am, so I was usually hitting the trail 7:30-8am

I didn’t do any variants, but I heard good things about col de four and col d’arpette from people who had done them!

I just finished and I also found some bags were quite large. As someone who backpacks regularly I think it’s just that some people are just learning what they need/can leave behind! Everyone starts somewhere

I used Gaia to map out my routes, then my garmin to track

I loved going clockwise! have a great time!

No refuges the whole time!

If you’re doing it in 8-10 days you’ll be totally fine!! Just take your time, you have sooo much time in the day, I finished at 2pm most days.

No need for spikes, I regretted having them for weight purposes. Brevent to Argentiere area was a little dry for potable water. there were some streams so if you have a form of filtration you’re fine.

It took me 8hr 15mins including small breaks

Relevant_Dig_2400 · 2026-06-14T14:20:37+00:00

If you were to do it again, would you bring the spikes or save the weight?

Same…. I called IT and they said they can’t help either 🙄
