Stage 2

This is one of the longest standard days on the TMB - plan for about 7.5 hours. You cross from France into Italy via Col du Bonhomme and Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, with open meadow and big views back toward the Mont Blanc range.

Les Chapieux is remote: a few refuges and farms, not much else. Start early and carry enough food and water - you won't pass many shops once you're up high.
