La Jonction is my favorite hike ever. I have done 5 of the 7 hikes and now I noted down the other ones ;) Thank you for the work!

Thank you very much for your video series. Very inspiring! Greetings from Germany 😊

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

Thanks for taking time to leave this kind comment! Knowing people actually enjoy it inspires me to keep making new videos.

@kakanlam9997 Год назад

thank you for sharing, will try one in this July :)

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

Enjoy man! Definitely check out the Komoot collection. There's more hikes in there than there are on this video.

@cravetheplanet Год назад

can't wait to try them this summer - i'm doing half of the TMB but want to do some less crowded trails

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

Awesome! Don't hesitate to reach out if you're doubting between options. :)

@edgardodj Месяц назад

Hi Dieter. Thanks for the information and pleasant videos. Are these hikes good for dogs?

Hey Dieter! I'm doing the Tour des Aiguilles Rouges next week, can you recommend me a weather app for the region? Cheers!

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

Meteoblue and "my weather" (meteo France)

@williamtaute1320 2 месяца назад

Hi Dieter, Great video, thanks. Wanted to ask for some advice. Would you recommend to rather sleep in Charmonix for 2 nights and do daily hikes or stay at Refuges and hike out from there? If you would advice Refuges then which ones would you recommend? Coming to Charmonix for 3 nights end of Sep this year.

@DieterVanHolder 2 месяца назад

Refuges are often crowded and noisy. You'll have a better quality of life resting in an accommodation in the valley :)

@jimthomas1759 6 месяцев назад

Thanks - will check them out. How many days would you recommend in Chamonix for first time visitors? Looks like there are plenty of hikes in the area. Planning on six days including a couple in Courmayeur.

@DieterVanHolder 6 месяцев назад

If you like hiking that timeline sounds perfect! Make sure to keep a day for gear shopping. Chamonix has a lot of brand stores;

@bcamping1 6 месяцев назад

If you are on a budget, then Camping Bellevue is good place to stay. Les Houches also has the best supermarket in the area. Buses to Chamonix go regularly. Campsite in Chamonix is a bit roadnoisy. Wild camping is best.

@chuckburr517 2 месяца назад

I would flash the names of the hikes on the screen, run trip mileage, and elevation gain.

@ALLMOUNTAINMTB 2 месяца назад

That's a good tip

@arnoldrouverand2068 2 месяца назад

Thanks and well done Dieter…would maybe get good to indicate the distances and timings

@DieterVanHolder 2 месяца назад

This is what the Komoot routes I am sharing here show :)

@littleluvvie 4 месяца назад

Hi Dieter. A very happy St. Patrick's Day from Ireland. My question for you is this. My partner and I will be travelling to Chamonix at the beginning of June however we won't have a car. Can the hikes you recommend be accessed from Chamonix by foot? Vielen dank fur ihre hilfe. Apologies I couldn't insert the umlaut over the u!! Sinéad.

@DieterVanHolder 4 месяца назад

Hi, yes some if not most are doable with public transport or on foot from Chamonix. Make sure to check out the map of the Komoot collection in the description. :)

@colombiaventures 4 месяца назад

Hi there, thanks for sharing. Are these hikes possible to go on our own? Good signs and paths so we don't get lost? Or we need a guide or tour? Thanks

@DieterVanHolder 4 месяца назад

If you know how to use the Komoot app you can use my routes linked in the description

@kooolkidninjamaster Год назад

which of these would you recommend to solo traveler (mid strength and energy)

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

All of them except Mt Buet

@repsakverschaeve 2 месяца назад

Hey Dieter, Aangezien ik in mijn vriendengroep de enige ben met een passie voor de bergen, zoek ik leuke organisaties om guided hikes te doen in groep. Heb je aanraders wat betreft organisaties?

@DieterVanHolder 2 месяца назад

Hey Kasper. Ik zou eerder clubs zoals Hiking Advisor aanraden. De meeste organisaties verkopen laagdrempelige clichés om moeite te minimaliseren en winst te maximaliseren.

@vickij8417 Год назад

Hi Dieter - thanks for the video. How is the hike from Planpraz to Brevent Peak to Aiguillette des Houches to Les Houches. I'm thinking maybe August hopefully no snow. Just wondering if you know the distance and elevation gain, and any technical challenges (any scrambling or a Class 1 trail, or any sort of challenges)?

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

Hi Vicky. Snow shouldn't be an obstacle in August. Certainly not if this summer will be as hot as the last one. I'd need to look at the map to dig up the exact numbers. Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram in case I forget.

@vickij8417 Год назад

@@DieterVanHolder Hi! Thanks for the reply. I'm not on Instagram, but numbers not so important. More wondering if you have hiked up to the summit then to Aiguillette des Houches from Brevent Peak then down to Les Houches, and if technical at all or Class 2 (scramble type climb or any crazy exposure). Just haven't seen anyone who has done that route. Thank you!

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

@@vickij8417 if you follow the marked trails there is no scrambling in the UK sense of the word, nor extreme exposure. The mountainside sometimes gets steep, but there is such a high volume of walkers there that the trails are mostly broad and well worn in. Of course, everyone experiences exposure differently. But it's a walk. It's not Crib Goch in Snowdonia.

@vickij8417 Год назад

@@DieterVanHolder ...haha! Thank you! I questioned on a FB site if the TMB trail is Class 1, and maybe some sections of Class 2 going up to summits, and someone responded saying it's more like Class 3 and 4, so was a bit confused. I figured the person had his own definition of Class 3 and 4. Love your videos. Thank you! If you were going to do one good hike in Chamonix, not on the TMB, which one would you recommend?

@DieterVanHolder Год назад

@@vickij8417 if you have a car, that would be the Aiguillette des Houches. If you want a lighter day I would suggest Le Chapeau. There's videos on both of them in my playlist here. The trail rating system difference between countries is a pain indeed. The TDMB itself is purely a walk. Alpine walking. But not a scramble to UK standards.

@cuatemelon 6 месяцев назад

Hello Dieter, My wife and I are thinking about hiking there during the second fornight of May. Will snow melt down enough then?

@DieterVanHolder 6 месяцев назад

Depends, there's likely to be plenty of old snow left above 2000m

@cuatemelon 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Dieter, just one question more. We often hike, here, in Spain, but we are not usted to do it on snow. Do you think, a totally greenhorn like us without any training can do the hike of la jonction or Lac Blanc or it will be too dangerous? Thanks again for your patience!

@DieterVanHolder 6 месяцев назад

@@cuatemelon the main danger with old hard spring snow is potentially long and dangerous slides. Heed caution and avoid steep sections
