So enjoyed your article and good info! Could you tell me what the approximate cost was for your 10 day trek for one person. (From Geneva and back).
Thanks so much, Jenny Gallup

Hi Nick,
Thank you so much for reading our blog! Alpenventures UNGUIDED is a smaller company, led and run by passionate hikers. I find that smaller companies often care more about their customers as the leadership is more directly involved. We were very satisfied with our experience.
Kindly,
Sabrina

You are my absolute favorite for trip planning! Thank you for the content! I love the idea of self guided. I am a little unsure about using Alpenventures. What made you land on them of all the companies? Are they able to compete with the bigger companies in booking accommodations? Thank you for your input!

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for reading our blog! My favorite stretch of trail was from Col des Fours (TMB Variant) to Grand Col Ferret: our stages 4, 5, and 6. Stage 10 was beautiful as well.
Have fun trekking the TMB this summer.
Kindly,
Sabrina

Dear Sabrina,

Thank you for this extensive documentation and treasure trove of information for the TMB hike. We used your Dolomites guides for planning our trip for this summer, and the information provided is invaluable.

We are looking forward to next summer and are in the early planning stages of the TMB hike which we plan to do in July 2025. However, we’ll only have 7 – 8 days for the hike itself. We are trying to shorten the TMB but want to ensure we keep the most scenic parts (we are photo enthusiasts). In your opinion, which stages/sections can be skipped and which are an absolute must/have amazing scenery?

We do plan to use public transportation and all available shortcuts to help us shorten the route. I appreciate any and all feedback/guidance. Thank you very much.

Warm regards,
Debbie

In reply to AS.

Hi AS,
Are you planning on camping? I imagine it’s too late to book huts/accommodations along the trail.
It’s possible so long as the weather is stable. We hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc the first 10 days of September and the conditions were excellent. But, snowstorms are always a possibility in September.

That’s an incredible info.
If you don’t mind me asking, I’m planning on going on this hike from Sep 7th to Sep 21st.
I would first like to know if this is still possible in these dates, and also, how many hikers are there in Sep.?
Thanks

In reply to Anna. Hi Anna, You're very welcome! The TMB is a long distance hike. The most suitable base is Chamonix in France, but we can't advise about day hiking. Have you been to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps? I think it's a great base for hiking and day trips. Check out: Best Things to Do in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and our Garmisch-Partenkirchen Hiking Guide. All the best, Sabrina

Hello. I used your blog a lot for day hikes with kids in Dolomites last October. Thank you for such a detailed description.
We loved Dolomites, did many hikes from Ortisei and Cortina (mostly Ortisei) in two weeks.
Now we are looking for something as stunning as Dolomites with the same accessibility of day hikes suitable for well trained kids (there were a lot of day hikes accessible from Ortisei in a hour of drive-including Alta Badia and Val di Funes). Is TMB a good option for our purposes? We would like to stay on one-two places and do day hikes with kids, in a distance of 1-1.5 hours of drive.
