Go through this list in detail to make sure that we have included all the essentials. If there is anything else that you would like to add to the list, feel free to do so. 50% of your Tour Du Mont Blanc trek’s success depends on the things that you pack. If you fail to carry the energy bar or an extra pair of sweater what will you do when the need arises? It is important that once the packing is complete, go through the list to make sure that you have not missed out on anything. You will notice that we have not included smartphones in the list because there is no connection at the high altitude. As a result, before you start the Tour Du Mont Blanc trek you need to deposit your smartphone at the base camp. On your return you will get back the phone. For your own safety and so that you don’t lose the phone, it is best to hand it over at the base. They will store all your belongings in a locker. So, there is nothing to worry about. Your phone will not be misplaced. Don’t wait anymore. Start packing your essentials.
