Hiking The Tour Du Mont Blanc Solo

The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the most popular long-distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc massif, covering a distance of roughly 170 kilometres with 10 kilometres of ascent/descent and passes through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France.
September this year I set off for a 11 day hike of the tour.

Wow absolutely amazing. Brilliant cinematic photography, choice of music and by just one man. Your talents just keep getting better and better. Scott, you should be so proud of this film, the 10 minutes hide the amount of work that’s gone in to making this film. Well done.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Rob, it was a joy to make, the whole trip but incredible and happy how it all turned out 😀

[@woenswils]

I did the TMB last year...Without any practicing the TMB was very hard.. But it was the most beautiful experience I've ever did :)

[@edwardluca6713]

Instablaster.

[@UKvet246]

WOW Simply stunning no words needed, Scott this is on another level you nailed it. The background music was imho perfect, any words spoken would have been a downfall and reduced the impact. The effort which goes into your camera pre placement and compositions is truly inspiring, thanks for allowing me to see a small portion of your incredible hike. Mike

[@UKvet246]

I've just read some of the other posts and it appears to be the same response.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

@@UKvet246 Thanks Mike 😀

[@mommahil4323]

Beautifully put together Scott - hours of hard work in there. Thank you. And... OK... Nearly as good as Snowdonia!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Haha Snowdonia always has a place in my heart 😀

[@waynebowmar3070]

That's good you've still got her really miss you and Florence on your adventures x

[@louisedeleu3667]

Wow! Yep I'm gonna do this

[@AndysmGray]

That is one excellent production Scott. What an adventure. Well done you.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Andy 😀

[@moyashisoba]

This is by far the best video about the TMB I've ever seen (and I watched many, because I'm very much looking forward to do the tour next year). I have been near tears several times. You catched the majesty so perfectly, the music is spot on and all in all, every shot has been beautiful and story telling. Thank you for sharing.

[@nickstone5720]

That was a genuinely absorbing piece of film. Anyone who loves the mountains and being stood in a pair of boots with a bag on their back will absolutely love this. A work of art.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thank you Nick for your kind words 😀

[@chrisleadbetter69]

Brilliant film Scott, your film work gets better each time, all the best to you both!!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Chris 😀

Hot damn! Those scenarios you captured were breathtaking. Thank you.

[@mariagomezbrown200]

One of the best films ever seen on RUclips STUNNING!!

[@camperteagolfer2386]

110 miles for a Walker, 130 miles for a film maker, with that epic B roll. Not a single word spoken, and not much else to say. Great cinematography my friend. WOW

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Haha that's so true, I did actually walk a total of 140 miles, thanks for the kind words also 😀

[@andreasw138]

[@kristaps2010]

What a masterpiece! Your chosen colour of the footage suits perfect, not like those over saturated dynamic settings many use. Also at 9:20 use of footage and music is brilliant. Thanks for sharing experiences, this hike definately is on my bucket list. You must be the only one man done whole Mont Blanc in yellow shorts :)

[@andreasrot9558]

I thaught the same about yellow Shorts….But i like…..!!

[@bornfreefreedom4900]

Thank you 😀

[@fahdzaa]

@@ExplorerBuddies Hi amazing film. Gives me goosebumps and i really want to do this tour one day. I was asking like what do you have in your back? Like, ...tent, some food water, boiler, clean clothes...? And did you wild camp all days or half wild camping and half in refugees...? And what did you use as map to know the way. Sorry for all the questions.

[@mennonl5733]

beautiful video! i just booked my tour du mont blanc for this august. very excited!
