Tour Du Mont Blanc - Alpenglow and Heat Exhaustion - Part 1 #thruhike

Thanks for stopping by to the first part of what will probably be a three part series. Tag along if you'd like to see more!

In this video, I share my experience as a thru hiker hiking one of the most popular long-distance trails in Europe, the Tour du Mont Blanc. It is a spectacular 105 mile / 170 km trail that crosses France, Italy and Switzerland in a loop - but it's not for the faint of heart. I faced many challenges along the way, such as a heat wave, allergic reaction and a blizzard. But I also enjoyed some of the most amazing scenery and views of the Alps, met some friendly fellow hikers and learned some valuable lessons. Watch this video to find out how I completed this epic adventure and what tips I have for anyone who wants to try it.

Also read here about how I got bullied by a sheep right after this video ends (couldn't film) - https://www.spinewalker.net/blog/how-i-got-bullied-by-a-sheep-on-the-tmb

Please excuse my English and pronounciation. I am not a native speaker but was born and raised in Switzerland. For what it's worth, no one could be bothered by it more than I was while editing the video. ;-)

Happy trails!
