It can be extremely hot and sunny on the Tour du Mont Blanc so a sun hat is an essential.

Take something that is robust enough to be stuffed in your rucksack when not in use.

We used leather hats that we bought in Australia. Made from kangaroo hide they're reputed to always regain there shape after being screwed up.

We particularly liked the fact that, being leather,  we could wear them in light rain instead of having to put our poncho hoods up.
