To complete this 10-day tour, we used buses or cable cars for some of the connections, particularly in the valley. This requires a good knowledge of the timetables for these modes of transport, especially buses, which in Switzerland are always on time.
General comment on this tour: lasting 10 days, this tour requires each participant to be in good physical shape, to have the minimum equipment, in particular crampons for crossing the two glaciers, not to overload their rucksacks, to book their accommodation in lodges, refuges or hotels, have transport timetables (cable cars and buses) in your pocket, and be prepared to sleep in groups with sometimes annoying snoring, but hikers are used to this. And finally, you will return enchanted by this trek, which is one of the most beautiful in the Alps, along with the Tour du Mont Blanc, the Grand Paradis crossing, the Tour du Queyras and many others... which are also described on the website.
