Hi everyone, Here’s my dilemma: I’m planning a hike between Le Bonhomme and the Gîte des 3 Fours at the Col de la Schlucht. Between the two, I need a hostel, a gîte, or a farm inn for Wednesday, September 10th. My gîte at the pass is only open on Thursday, so I need a stop between Le Bonhomme and the pass. On Wednesday, everything’s closed—no half-board, nothing at all. Would you have any solutions? I’ve already called the tourist office, and they confirmed there’s no possibility. No tent—it’s too heavy for me at my age. Thanks for your ideas!

Hi, I’m not entirely sure I understood your message perfectly, but I recently hiked in that area and remember staying at the Col du Calvaire... at the hotel. I probably didn’t find any gîtes or farm-hostels at the time. It was the "Les Terrasses du Lac Blanc" hotel, and if you end up going there, watch out for the price—I was nicely overcharged for a "carafe water" supplement, and the advertised 2024 rate (posted in the room) was lower than the hidden 2025 rate next to the cash register.

This was my favorite part of the trip—I hope you’ll love it too! 🙂

P.S.: There was a detour in place after the Duchesne military cemetery.
