Hiking 180km from Chamonix to Zermatt on the Walker’s Haute Route

Now this story is a little special, this was my very first multi-day camping trip filmed back in the summer of 2018 on the Walker’s Haute Route in the beautiful Western Alps. 🏔️

This 22min film is documenting the 11-day backpacking experience hiking nearly 200km across a dozen mountain passes and going down valleys with small alpine villages. Starting from the famous French resort of Chamonix and ending at another mecca of Europe's mountaineering - the Zermatt mountain resort. And obviously with the lack of camping experience, together with my hiking friends we had lessons to learn and challenges to go through…

Sit back, relax and let me take you along this journey into nature!
