Day 6 on our Tour des Combins - Cabane Panossière to Cabane de Mille.  Our overnight at Cabane Panossière was the high point in our TDC with a close up view of the Grand Combin, Combin de Corbassière and Petit Combin along with the wonderful atmosphere in the hut.  We crossed the Passarelle de Corbasière - huge suspension bridge.  We enjoyed a nice coffee break with tarte aux pruneaux at Cabane Brunet prior to hiking the second leg of our hike to reach Cabane de Mille. Tomorrow is our last day.  A spectacular scenery throughout our trek. Time to enjoy a beer.  #tourdescombins #lasportiva #mammut #hiking #roadtrailrun
Day 4 on our Tour des Combins - Ollomont to Cabane de Chanrion.  A fairly challenging stage in terms of distance and elevation - 10.36 miles / 5,435 ft, but hiking at a good rhythm and grateful for all my lightweight and high performance gear.  teva Grandview Max Hiking sandals gossamergear Kumo 36 superlight backpack cieleathletics compressport ultra trail socks. #tourdescombins #hiking #roadtrailrun
TOUR DES COMBINS 🇮🇹🇨🇭⛰️💚

It was a tour I'd been thinking about for many years 😍
And last weekend I finally got to complete it with helios_agni , admiring all the beauty the Grand Combin massif offers between Switzerland and Italy.

As usual, I then made a detailed description of the tour with photos, GPS tracks, and useful information on my website 👉 see bio

Tour Des Combins:

Tym postem chciałbym Was zaprosić na relację z naszego tripu do Szwajcarii, gdzie razem z wwilan idziemy w Alpy  na 100km hike. Na instastories będziemy relacjonować (jak zasięg pozwoli) jak nam idzie, gdzie jesteśmy, co jemy, jak wygląda taka wycieczka.

Według tego co piszą w necie, szlak Tour des Combins jest bardzo zbliżony do popularnego TMB. Na TDC jest mniej ludzi, wędruje się po większych wysokościach, widoki podobno jeszcze lepsze. Sprawdzimy to.

W planach 11-22km dziennie przez 6 dni, około 1000m up daily. Śpimy oczywiście w namiocie. Pogoda zamówiona 🤞🏻

W planch między innymi: piękne widoczki, testy liofilizatów, mixów owsiankowych, sprzętu, no i oczywiście naszych fizycznych możliwości.

Na zdjęciach wrzuciłem praktycznie wszystko co bierzemy ze sobą szlak (na sobie + spakowane). Zapomniałem o czapce z daszkiem i zmywaku, ale na szczęście tylko do fotek :D Brakuje trochę szamy, spakowaliśmy oczywiście więcej (planujemy nie jeść w schroniskach). Podobny zestaw zabiera wwilan , niektórymi rzeczami dzielimy się na pół.

Zapomnieliśmy o czymś?

Piszcie w komentarzach i do zoba na stories.

Zaczynamy dzisiaj od luźnego weekendu w Zurychu, TDC od poniedziałku.

6 jours, 140 km, 8 800 m de D+ autour du massif des Combins, entre le Valais et la Vallée d’Aoste. Des passages enneigés à 2 800 m, un peu de pluie, mais surtout du soleil et des panoramas à couper le souffle. Un beau tour de randonnée, porté par le calme et la beauté des montagnes suisses et italiennes.

As Tobi crashed my black and white feed I thought I can continue with some colorful images about the last tour with juli_gravel as the landscape was so stunning 
Thanks for the good times and the memories that will last!

Il pleut. Il pleut fort. Le ciel pleure toutes ses peines.
Le brouillard nous envahit.
On se tait. Seul le bruit de la pluie qui tombe persiste.
Et ça va durer pendant des heures et des heures.
.
Le cerveau mouline dur, je commence à avoir froid, l'humidité transperce les vêtements: qu'est ce que je fous là ?
Passage en mode automatique : pas après pas, un seul objectif atteindre le col et son hospice.
.
L'arrivée au col, toujours dans le brouillard, est une libération. Soulagée que ce soit terminé et si fière d'être parvenue au bout. 
La définition du dépassement de soi ❤️

Looking for a quiet Alps hut-to-hut adventure this summer? Look no further! 

The Tour des Combins takes you around the majestic ‘Combins Massif’ (4,314m), one of the highest in the Alps, located on the western end of the Pennine Alps.  Experience both Swiss and Italian alpine culture as this journey leads you on mostly remote trails past rich historical sites, impressive engineering feats, dramatic glaciers and the famous Mont Blanc massif. Stay in spectacular mountain huts, comfortable hotels, or campgrounds along this alpine trail.

You know the best thing? It’s still a relatively unknown trail, which means that on-trail traffic is low (compared to popular neighbouring trails such as tourdumontblanc.club ) and there is still lots of availability to book for this summer.

Key trail stats for the “classic” route
- Country: Switzerland and Italy
- Number of days: 7 - 11 days
- Distance: 140 km / 87 mi
- Elevation gain: 8,450 m / 27,750 ft
- Highest point: 2,863 m / 9,393 ft (Col des Otanes pass)
- Season: Mid June to end September

See link in bio for complete guide to hiking the Tour des Combins, including sample itineraries and 75+ accommodation list including huts, hotels and campgrounds.

Tour des Combins !

S’évader, l’espace d’un jour, de la société. Revenir à l’essentiel : mettre un pied devant l’autre et profiter du paysage ! 

Des moments magiques qui permettent de se retrouver avec soi-même et de se recentrer sur ses valeurs. Être son propre obstacle, se faire face et aller puiser au fond de soi pour pouvoir avancer.

È proprio questo momento che cambia tutto:
l’idea di non dover tornare a valle, rende unico un cammino errante fatto di tappe e di vita vissuta sopra i 2’500 m sopra il livello del mare.
Regna il silenzio, il sole cala piano e mentre tutto si fa scuro l’ultima luce fatica ad abbandonare le vette più belle.

Tour des Combines Day 7 Recap - Last day and severals Cols to pass. You think you are almost done and expect just descending when another Col appears - and the most sketchy one : pretty steep and snowy. Finally arrived back at St Rhemy and am very grateful for a wonderful tour wit an impressive landscape and beautiful bivouac spots. #tourdescombins #tdc #aostavalley #valais
Tour des Combins Day 3 Recap - Starting with an easy downhill towards impressive Lac de Mauvoisin - plenty of waterfalls left and right on trail. After passing the dam it went upwards towards Cabane FXB Panossière. There is still plenty of snow on the way. The hut allowed for staying dry in a rainy night and recharging the battery pack. The outdoor solar shower of the hut was a good alternative to my mountain lake dips. #glacier #hiking #tourdescombins #tdc

スイスでトレッキングへ!!
スイスとイタリアに跨るコンバン山群の周囲を歩くトレッキング。本当は6日間でぐるっと一周するTour des Combinsへ挑戦する予定だったんだけど、諸事情あって3日間の日程に変更。
それでも、超充実の3日間!
初日はずっとモンブラン山群を眺めながらのトレッキング!2日目は山小屋の目の前にグラン・コンバンとコルバシエール氷河!
もう気持ち良すぎの3日間。最高でした。

What a day… the ‘Tour des Combins’ in a oner on the mountain bike!! 115km and 4100m vert.

The Tour des Combins is a spectacular alpine circular hiking route that goes through Italy and Switzerland. Fairly unknown compared with some of the big iconic alpine hikes like the Tour du Mont Blanc, but in my opinion it’s just as scenic and the riding on the Tour des Combins is MUCH more enjoyable.

As it’s a hiking route, there is of course technical single track in places and plenty of my beloved hike-a-bike, but the 85% that is ridable, is some of the best riding I have found in the Alps. 

The route consist of three main passes; Fenêtre de Durand pass 2,797 m, Col du Mille 2,472m and the Gran San Bernardo Pass 2,473m. The first of which offering epic views over the glacier d’Otemma and the Col du Mille offering spectacular views of Mont Blanc massif.

I would highly recommend you add this one to your bucket list, if remote high alpine bikepacking is your bag. Epic gravel tunnels, trails cut through rocks, easy via-ferrata sections, turquoise lakes, plus some of the best high balcony gravel roads I have ridden. It’s also empty! …if you want to avoid super busy trails like the Tour du Mont Blanc, then this is for you. We saw just a handful of people over the entire route.

bikepackingcom suggests 3 days to complete the route, but it’s also very doable in 2 days.

As for doing it in 1 day… well it was pretty brutal! If I was doing the route just for the enjoyment of riding my bike, then I would have chosen to have done it over 2. However, I wanted to remind myself of how a long day on the bike feels like, as it had been a while, so I thought I would challenge myself to doing it as a oner!

Thanks to bikepackingcom, We have spent 5 days in total independence into the Alps to do the “Tour des Combins” with our awesome #gravelbikes (#bombtrackhookext and #bearclawbicycle #beauxjaxon). 

If you ever plan to do it, be ready to walk and carry your fully loaded bike on climbs and sometimes on descents, but don't worry it’s worth it. 
It was a tough adventure but an outstanding one. 

Our stages:
Day 1: Bourg St Pierre => Col du Grand St Bernard 
17km / 890D+ / 261D- / 2h23

Day 2: Col du Grand St Bernard => Champillon 
30km / 871D+ / 963D- / 3h41
Note: the climb to Plan Puitz is more like climbing with a bike. 

Day 3: Champillon => Lac Mauvoisin 
26km / 902D+ / 985D- / 4h31
Note: a wide handlebar can be an issue. 

Day 4: Lac Mauvoisin => Col de Mille 
28km / 857D+ / 916D- / 3h33
Note: a tunnel was closed. ( 46.038362, 7.287860 )

Day 5: Col de Mille => Bourg St Pierre 
19km / 685D+ / 955D- / 2h46

Total 
121km / 4206D+ / 16h56
