During this tour, you will stay in 3* hotels, small family-run hotels or mountain auberges (small simple hotels). For most nights, all rooms are private en-suite. On occasion bathrooms may be shared between the occupants of two adjacent rooms. However from our experience, they are always clean with a plentiful supply of hot water! Importantly you will have your luggage with you every night; no need to buy and carry sleep sheets or towels and worry about what to carry with you for an overnight without your luggage.
All the accommodations are accustomed to welcoming trekkers and very well equipped to make your stay comfortable regardless of the weather conditions. Typically, rooms are simple but very comfortable. As many of the overnight stays are in small villages or towns, on occasion, we may have to book another similar accommodation of equal standard. We will discuss these options with you during the booking process.
Should you also request a double room, please note it is the norm in Switzerland for two separate single beds with individual bed linen to be pushed together or even placed into one large bed frame.
Dining
You will be provided with 12 breakfasts and 7 two-course dinners. If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know at the time of booking so we can let your hosts know. Should you have severe food allergies, it’s always worth bringing a few of your own snacks with you, especially as ingredients and supplies can be hard to obtain in the mountains.
You will find in some of the smaller accommodations, dining is very often on communal tables with set mealtimes. This enables small kitchen teams to ensure everyone is fed on time and nobody is left hungry after a long day of trekking! Lunches can be purchased locally, which is a great part of the experience. The towns and villages you pass through are renowned for their specialty breads, cheeses and meats (many of which continue to be produced by hand). If you’re lucky enough to encounter a local farmers market, the choice and range of local foods are staggering. Many of your accommodations will also make a picnic lunch for you. A staff favourite is the Beaufort cheese from La Vallee des Glaciers, which you can purchase fresh from the farm.

When we first received the information pack, with so many booklets and documents, we thought we’d have information overload. Particularly with the Universal Hikes App as well.But once we started walking, everything fell into place and the various information all made perfect sense.In the end we used the books to plan our day and know where to head, then we could use the trail signage as our primary guide. The booklet was then a useful backup (and information source) and if we were really unsure, the App pointed us in the right direction.We absolutely loved the options provided and the flexibility to shorten or extend our hike each day – brilliant.

Prior to the walk I had wondered if I should have chosen the shorter version of TMB. However every day was interesting and spectacular so no regrets at all about the length of the trip. Also greatly enjoyed the company of my fellow walkers. An experience of a lifetime.
