Real-time accommodation availability in our app

As part of our acquisition of TMB Planner, we’ve integrated technology into our app to check bed availability for mountain huts. At time of launch, this will just be for the existing TMB Planner accommodation scope for the Tour du Mont Blanc trail, however, we’ll be extending the same technology to other popular trails where accommodation is challenging for DIY planners to find, such as Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites and the newest trail we are working on, the West Highland Way in Scotland.

What type of accommodation can we provide availability data for?

The scope of mountain huts is limited to those which list their availability online. We can not provide availability data for mountain huts that do not list their availability online, for example, those properties requiring bookings to be made via phone, email, or submitting an online form.

In our accommodation database, we also have many more accommodation types along the trail, such as hotels, campgrounds and bivouac locations. Where an accommodation location lists their availability online, such as hotels, we plan to integrate this information into our app over the next year.

what type of accommodation can’t we provide availability data for?

If the accommodation location is one of the following, there is no availability data that we can provide you;

  • Bivouac or wild camping locations

  • Campgrounds that don’t accept/need bookings

  • Accommodation that don’t list their availability online

  • A general accommodation location rather than being for a specific property
