La Fouly accomodation help

Hi i have 90% booked my TMB for late July and have a hut/hotel at each stage other than La Fouly.

My plan is

  • Thurs: Rigfugio Bonatti (booked) to La Fouly (no accomodation here)
  • Friday: La fouly to Champex Lac (chalet la grange booked)

There is no availability on the central booking site which I am checking daily, how likely is there to be a cancellation in one of these options?

There is also v minimal availability in Praz de Fort and Orsières, i have found 2 potential options but not sure how practical they are but also conscious i would rather get a back up booked in. Does anyone have any ideas about these 2 places if they are convenient to get a bus to and from for the next day to continue the TMB?
