I’m planning to head to France/Switzerland for a month in june/july and plan to stay in hostels while in france, but will be spending two weeks near Chamonix and Zermott hiking/hut to hut backpacking. Any suggestions on what camping is like there? should i bring an actual tent or can I get away with just a bivy sack?
