Luggage Transfer Options for the Tour du Mont Blanc
Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc is a bucket-list adventure, but carrying a heavy pack day after day can take the fun out of it. Thankfully, several luggage transfer services operate along the TMB route so you can walk with just a light daypack and have your bags meet you at your next accommodation.
🚚 How Luggage Transfer Works
Most luggage transfer companies will collect your main bag each morning from the reception or designated drop-off point at your accommodation. They then deliver the bag to your next hut, hotel or gîte so it’s waiting for you when you finish your day’s hike.
Before booking, make sure:
Your accommodation is confirmed (providers typically require confirmed bookings).
You understand which stops are accessible by road — some remote refuges cannot be served and bags will need to stay with you.
📍 Luggage Transfer Providers for the Tour du Mont Blanc
Here are some companies that regularly provide luggage transfer on the TMB:

A long-established, reliable option familiar with the logistics of the TMB. Drivers pick up bags at your accommodation and deliver them to your next stop. Costs typically range from €30–€50 per bag per stage, with package pricing available depending on number of stops and bags.

💡 Note: There are refuges that most luggage transfer companies cannot reach due to lack of road access — such as Refuge de la Croix du Bonhomme, Rifugio Elisabetta, Rifugio Bertone, and Rifugio Bonatti. On those nights, you’ll need to carry what you need for the day and night in your daypack.
💶 Typical Costs
Luggage transfer pricing on the TMB varies by company, number of bags, and number of transfers, but general ranges reported include:
~€30–€50 per bag per transfer with bigger providers like Taxi Mont-Blanc.
~€60–€65 per bag with some independent transfer shuttles covering common segments.
Buying luggage transfers as a package for the whole trek typically brings the cost down compared with booking individual transfers.
📌 Tips for Hikers
Book early: Luggage transfer services can fill up in peak summer (June–September).
Label bags clearly: Use your name, itinerary and accommodation details to avoid mix-ups.
Check access: Confirm that both pick-up and drop-off accommodations are reachable by vehicle; remote huts may require you to carry your gear.
Using a luggage transfer service on the Tour du Mont Blanc lets you enjoy the stunning scenery and challenging terrain with a lighter pack — making for a far more enjoyable trek. Book your provider once your itinerary is set, and look forward to walking freer and smoother through three countries.
