Toying with this for the summer having done the TdMB a few years back.

Can't find a lot of info on biking it so any hints or tips would be good. Particularly any variants that avoid unbikeable bits.

I can only imagine that you are entering a world of pain, however, good luck, and let us know how you get on.

ive walked it, it would be great apart from the glacier crossings and the unrideable climbs...

Got a german bike mag just for the feature on riding that route. My german's not good these days tho ) looks amazing, plenty of hike-a-bike but the good stuf in the alps often means a few carries. If you're not in a rush I can copy the pages and mail them. Definately a route on my bikepacking wishlist.

glacier crossings

I assume you're talking about the high level haute route. I'm referring to the lower level version with no glacier travel.
