Last updated: 7 February 2025
2025 just started, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning for the summer of 2025. Due to its increasing popularity, some of the places along the route become booked out even 9-12 months before the season. Others accept bookings only a few months before opening. Because of that, you have to check and re-check every now and then to make sure you won’t end up without a place to sleep in for one of the many days of the route.
There are already several dates in the 2025 summer with booked out accommodations. Make sure to book in advance if you want to stay in one of the mountain huts with very limited space.
Below you can find a list of properties along the route and their booking status for the 2025 season, sorted in a counter clockwise direction starting from Les Houches (as this is the “official” starting point of the TMB and the most popular direction of doing the hike).
Watch out! At some of the refuges along the way you can pay only cash, as they don’t accept credit/debit cards. They are marked accordingly below. More information about the money situation on the hike you can find on the TMB money guide.
