    Beautifully filmed! We just did the Haute Route. I recommend taking a rest day in the middle, then u will enjoy it more

      Love the idea of a rest day. What spot would you have picked?

      @@johnsonism We would have stayed an extra day in Zinal. Could have used the swimming pool or the hotel spa, then continued the trek.

      Great call! Wonderful spot to treat yourself after a relatively short day from Cabaine de Moiry.

    Great video! Crisp and clear and thank you very much for letting the picture talk instead of yourself talking into the camera! Clearly outstanding vs. many other much longer videos with less content!

    Nice video. I won't be able to do this one this year, but I'm aiming for summer 2025 for the WHR. Nobody else mentioned alternatives for the Europahütte, so thank you for offering a few backup ideas.

      Yeah, I bet a lot of people skip the section due to lack of availability. But I would happily walk an extra few miles to get the full experience!

    do you even need a tent for a hike like this? Looks incredible

    • @johnsonism
      @johnsonism  10 місяців тому

      People have, but I think you miss out on the fun of the huts/hotels. Mt. Fort, Moiry, Europahutte were all incredible, Arolla had the best food, and it's where you meet so many people, which I think makes the trip far more memorable. So go tent free!

    What were the dates of this hike?

      @johnsonism  5 місяців тому

      I started on August 6th to be sure that the snow had melted out.

    You said on day you hiked from Chamonix to Trient, 14 miles - according to my guidebook the distance is closer to 17 miles. Did you take a shorter route?

    • @johnsonism
      @johnsonism  10 місяців тому

      Yes! I opted for the gondola out of Verbier, as the day was long enough. Really nice to have the extra time at Mont Fort to enjoy the view : )

    • @johnsonism
      @johnsonism  10 місяців тому

      Another approach would be to take the gondola from Le Chable to Verbier and walk from there, as you would get far better scenery.
