TMB Day 2: Toughest Day – Col du Bonhomme + Col des Fours

Day 2 of our Tour du Mont Blanc lived up to its reputation — one of the trek’s most physically demanding stages. Hiking counterclockwise from Les Contamines → Col du Bonhomme → Col des Fours Variant → Refuge Mottets, we tackled over 5,000 feet of ascent in just 11 miles. From the steep climb starting right after Notre-Dame de la Gorge, to rocky scrambles, crushed-stone paths, and even a short slick snow crossing at Col des Fours, this was a day that tested our legs and lungs. But the reward? Endless alpine views, cascading waterfalls, and the sound of rushing streams almost the entire way. 🏔️ Highlights: Stunning mountain scenery + meeting a fun, inspiring hiking family. 💪 Challenges: A relentless climb that seemed to go on forever. 💡 Trail Tip: Private rooms at Refuge Mottets include sheets and towels — but be ready for a bathroom with just a half wall! 📅 Hike Date: July 12, 2025 🎥 For quick, under-a-minute reels from each day, follow me on Instagram:   / czyzadventures   Click here for the full Tour du Mont Blanc playlist▶️ Tour du Mont Blanc - Czyz Adventures    • Tour du Mont Blanc Complete Series   📽️ Subscribe and join us as we continue our adventures. ▶️   / czyzadventures   #TourduMontBlanc #TMB #HikingEurope #ColduBonhomme #ColdesFours #hiking #travel #adventuresawait #adventure
