Planning a route through Chalet des Grands-Dessus
Booking one hut is the easy half. The work is the chain: every night needs a bed, at a hut you can walk to from the one before, on consecutive dates, and one full night sends you back to the start. From Chalet des Grands-Dessus there are 8 onward huts within a day's walk, listed above, inside a Mont-Blanc network of 46 huts. HutScanner searches that network for a sequence that works on your dates, rather than leaving you to try the huts one at a time.
Chalet des Grands-Dessus books online but publishes no calendar HutScanner can read, so a route through it is planned around the 32 huts in Mont-Blanc that do publish one, and this night is confirmed with the hut itself. Plan a multi-night route from Chalet des Grands-Dessus.
If you plan trips through ChatGPT or Claude, they can run this same search for you without opening the app, over the regions HutScanner has reviewed by hand. How that works is described in using HutScanner with AI assistants, and the endpoint is documented in the OpenAPI spec.
