Food, drink and fuel

The amount of food and drink, and what sort of supplies to carry, is entirely a matter of personal preference. Food and drink are available at every refuge along the way, but only when they are staffed from June to September. Most of the bergeries, as well as gîtes and hotels also stock food and drink, so there is no need to carry anything apart from a packed lunch and emergency rations each day. You can see where the next food is available along the route, whichever direction you choose to trek it, by consulting the tables in ssss1 and ssss1.

Those who will eat anything, and who don’t mind paying over the odds for food that has been carried on horseback to the refuges, or dropped from helicopters, can travel extremely lightweight. Fussy feeders, or those with special dietary requirements, may not find much to their taste, and may find appropriate supplies rather limited in some places. Fresh food is a rarity at remote refuges, and it will never be haut cuisine, although more imaginative meals may be obtained by moving off-route to a nearby village.
