French Alps 3 Day Hut Trip

Back in September after the komoot company gathering in Manigod myself and Carola (Komoot NL+BE cycling community manager) decided to do a 3 day hut trip from Chamonix. I've never stayed in a hut before so I was super excited about this! I have Carola's great planning skills and some tips from local Chloe to thank for this adventure 🙏 so you can thank them for this awesome route which I would highly recommend! We were joined on the second night by fellow komoot hiking community manager Anne and had a really fun day and night at Lac Blanc. Here's some quick tips 💙 Book the huts in advance
💙 Take ear plugs and an eye mask
💙 You get meals included so no need to take extra food
💙 Take a sleeping bag liner
💙 Both of these huts provided slippers/crocs to wear in the hut but check when you book as not all provide these and it is super nice to have a change of shoes after hiking all day
💙 There's lots of people stay at the huts so even if you go on your own you're sure to chat to others
💙 There are cafes along this route so you can get breakfast and lunch on the way (depending on the time of year check opening times)
💙 Make sure you take enough snacks to keep you going for the 3 days... we did have 2 awesome cafes stops for cake but I was glad I had lots of snacks with me!
💙 Take some leggings or trouser to change into and sleep in
💙 The water can be expensive and limited so fill up where you can before getting to the huts (we filled up from a water fall on day 2)
💙 Quiche is THE BEST trail food to take so I'd highly recommend getting one in Chamonix before you set off and save it for lunch!
