I will be 75 this summer and would like to hike out of Chamonix and join the Mount Blanc route for a few days. My wife is open to it but is concerned about how steep the hike would be. The Rick Steves video shows a hike that seems manageable, but we'd like some confirmation that it is not very steep. We are active walkers and healthy for our age. I'd also like to know the contact information to make reservations for the huts on the Mount Blanc trail and for the transfer service to take any heavy belongings. Is September still very busy on the trails? What other months would you recommend?How far in advance do you need to make reservations for the huts and should we get a guide to join us? Any other suggestions?
