My good habits

My Tour du Mont-Blanc

I prepare it beforehand, I live it fully along the way, and I keep the memories forever!

And for my trek, I follow… Best practices!

For my accommodation:

  • I booked in advance
  • I informed my host of any special dietary requirements
  • I notify my host as soon as possible in case of delay or cancellation

For my hike:

  • I respect the silence of the mountains
  • If I miss music, I use my personal headphones
  • On the trail, I give priority to uphill hikers

For my picnic:

  • I use a reusable bag to carry it
  • When leaving the hut, I only take what I will actually eat
  • In the mountains or in a hut, I keep my waste and dispose of it properly later
  • On arrival at my stage, I look for a compost bin, recycling bins, or a waste bin for the rest

For my wet clothes:

  • I wring them out outside before coming in
  • I use the drying room provided
  • I don’t wear my hiking boots inside the building

For my well-being:

  • I listen to my host’s recommendations and respect the schedules
  • I keep my backpack on the floor and never on the bed

For my night’s rest:

  • I brought my sleeping bag liner, for both comfort and hygiene
  • And of course, I packed my essential earplugs!

For my survival – and for the planet’s:

  • I save water
  • I use it sparingly for washing clothes or dishes, only in designated areas
  • I take short showers, with consideration for others

For staying connected to the world:

  • I share my day and adventure discreetly
  • I recharge my phone if possible, but I know how to survive without batteries or internet…

And above all, I know how to:

  • Lend a helping hand if needed
  • Make sure I’ve paid my bill before leaving
  • Respect these places that welcome me
  • Respect their cleanliness
  • Respect my fellow hikers and neighbors
  • Respect my hosts, who work long, hard days — passion does not eliminate fatigue!

We wish you a wonderful trek on the Tour du Mont-Blanc !
