- SASaskiaWritten on September 18, 20184.5 - Excellentwe did the 8 days counter clockwise, self-guided tour. the information provided by tour radar / Renee has been excellent. transportation of the bags went smoothly. the day hikes have been fantastic, yet some days have been rather long (day 3 (33km) & 4) whereas day 5 and 6 have been really short. Accommodation could sometimes have been better (e.g. 1* Hotel Venezia in Courmayeur or Col de la Forclaz (12 person dormitory in the attic)); food was ok (day 4-6) to excellent (days 1-3)Show detailed ratings

Questions & Answers
Here we have collected and answered the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
I enjoy running for about 20-30 mins every few days and walk quite a bit (but nothing excessive). Am I physically suitable for this trip? What if I get too exhausted?
I think that this tour will be manageable for you as long as you are fit and determined. This is a hike with a lot of ups and downs. You can possibly get a ride with the luggage transfer company or local transportation from one cabin to another, if you need a rest day. This tour is self -guided so you do have more flexibility.
