Tour du Mont Blanc · summer 2027
Get a fair shot at a bed on the TMB in 2027.
From spring 2027 every night on the French side of the Tour du Mont Blanc needs a booking, and wild camping there ends. The beds do not open on one day. This plan tells you which bed opens when, with the source of every date, and in which order to book so the scarce nights come first.
Why the order matters
15 October 2026 · 43 places open at once
The refuges and gîtes of the Association des Gardiens open summer 2027 on one platform, on one day.
The four that fill first are not on it
Bonatti, Elisabetta, Lac Blanc and La Flégère book directly, each in its own way. La Flégère opens on 5 January 2027. The others had published no 2027 date when we checked.
The Croix du Bonhomme is closed until 2029
Its walkers now sleep lower down, around Les Chapieux. That night fills sooner than it used to.
What you get
The booking plan (PDF)
Nine pages, in English, Dutch and French. Every night of the classic eleven-day tour: where to sleep, how it books, when it opens, and a fallback in the same valley.
A reminder calendar
An .ics file for any calendar app, plus a small offline page that adds your own deadlines (the 30- and 60-day cancellation dates) from your start date.
What it does not do
- It books nothing and holds no beds. You book with the refuges yourself.
- It cannot promise a bed. On the busiest nights there are more walkers than beds.
- Dates can change. If a date in the plan changes before 31 January 2027, buyers get the corrected PDF by e-mail.

Questions
Is this a booking service?
No. Treksup books nothing, takes no commission from refuges and holds no beds. The plan tells you where and when to book; you book yourself, on the refuges' own systems.
I walk clockwise, or in fewer days.
The plan follows the classic anticlockwise tour in eleven walking days, but the booking dates belong to the places, not to the direction. Match your nights to the places and the dates still hold.
Where do the dates come from?
From the platform's own FAQ, the refuges' own pages and Tourisme Haute-Savoie, each linked in the plan with the day we read it. Anything we could not read at the source is tagged as such.
Do I need the Treksup app?
No. The plan stands on its own. The app has the TMB day by day on the trail: water, huts, escape routes and weekly conditions.
Walking another route?
Tell us which one. Write to sebbedehond@gmail.com with the route and the summer you plan to walk it. The routes asked for most get a booking plan next. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
