  • Hey, this is a film I made of my self, Hiking Alone during a pandemic along the TMB.
    So in the end of June 2020 I went for a 6 days hike along the TMB. Started in Courmayeur, through Switzerland and finished in Chamonix, France.
    It was barely a week after borders have reopened across Europe so there weren't many people on the trail. This was my experience.
    Filmed using a Nikon D5500 and was inspired by Kraig Adams. This my first ever film. I hope you enjoy!

      I gotta smile a little at this comment under a (beautiful) TMB video. For the TMB is virtually the most overrun multi day hike in Europe (outside a pandemic). When you walk there any other year you have the impression that "most people" not only have the "courage to try". You have the impression that "most" [read: everyone and their uncle] are actually walking it. That doesn't take anything away from this video or the experience of @Maxim . He made a good choice to walk when he did. I spent June of 2020 passing through an incredibly empty Cinque Terre on the Sentiero Verde Azzuro which likewise in any other year would have been completely overrun by thousands of visitors.

    Your first film was incredible.
    Those mountains from the village of Chamonix are incomprehensible at first.
    When I was there my brain went through a weird little mind bending moment trying to work out how far away Mont-Blanc was, but it is so close.
    I will never forget trying to work that out. The mountains just keep going up and up and up and up... It blew me away.
    It is such a spectacular place, the Chamonix Valley, thanks for sharing that film...
    (Incredible snowboarding/skiing as well....)

The ending made me sad as you walked back into the village and put your mask back on 😪, I wanted you to turn back and head into the mountains again with all that crisp clean air. Beautiful video, bravo.

    Absolutely superb. Way back in 1971 I was hitching to Rome and was dropped of miles before Chamonix. I got out of the car looking down concentrating on putting my rucksack on. As I had one strap on and lifted the pack my head came up to see these magnificent mountains. I dropped my pack as my head raised. Never seen anything like it. It was so, so emotional. So I did what you did in reverse ending in Courmayeur, walked down the Aosta valley and hitched to Rome. Marvellous vid, marvellous mountains, marvellous times. You stay safe Sir. Forza Italia.
