After finishing my PhD, I felt it was time for a different kind of challenge. In October 2024, I set off on a 14-day solo hike around the Mont Blanc massif. I mostly followed the classic Tour du Mont Blanc route, but made two deviations: one via Refuge de Plan Glacier and one via Cabane du Trient CAS. I carried everything I needed to be as self-sufficient as possible, wild camping whenever conditions allowed.

The trail was almost empty — colder nights, golden forests, and endless moments of silence.

This film is an attempt to capture what it felt like — moving through the mountains alone, without words. This is an ambient film without dialogue.

Well, it was a 15-day hike, but I took a rest on Day 7 to see if my knee wound was healing
