Haute Route: The Most Beautiful Place to Suffer

  • Day 3. These are the most beautiful 35 miles that I have ever traveled. Prafleuri, Des Dix, Arolla, La Sage, Lac de Moiry and Zinal. Places who’s natural beauty I could never capture properly. All day long I would stop and be awestruck by my surroundings even when my toes felt as if they’d been smashed with a hammer and my legs complained about the 30,000ft of climbing I’d put them through over the last 3 days. The real topper would be if Christof somehow managed to find his way from Tokyo, Japan to Zinal, Switzerland where we had planned to meet a week before.

    Thanks for taking the additional time to capture footage, I know it’s difficult to place the camera and get footage then go back to retrieve it. Again thanks your Awesome! 👍🏽👣👣🏔

    How come I did not see this series about the Haute Route earlier? I've been looking at the winter-version of the Haute Route, but decided that there are more beautiful routes in winter, and less crowded. Deep respect for managing to film such a long day!

    I have to laugh at Christof's last remarks here, about how he can endure pain and suffering with Danny at home, any time he wants. There is a lot of pain, suffering, victoriousness, transcendence, beauty,...... shown in these videos and it is GREAT to see.

    These are lovely videos, but for some reason this one brought tears to my eyes. My family has a chalet in Zinal, so I was able to recognize all the stations Christof was going through - the escalators at Zurich airport, the transfer in Visp, that orange overpass in Sierre lol. And I know exactly how everything feels there. I even know the owners of the hotel you stayed at. Somehow, though, seeing it through your eyes moved me. Thank you for this. I have a new appreciation for how lucky I am.

    Despite the harsh route-finding setbacks your cumulative skills and mental toughness have carried you through. I could sense an attitude shift when meeting up with Christof. You guys are inspirational in your devotion to traversing these beautifully remote areas, capturing even a glimpse of the beauty, and sharing with anyone who might not have the ways or means of doing them.

    Great videos of your adventures! I love your genuineness and enthusiasm to take on the toughest challenges. While I am adventurer, nothing compared to your challenges. I live vicariously through your adventures but understand "rage haze" when you're taking on a tough challenge and take a wrong turn. It made me laugh as well as empathize. Keep up the great videos!!

    Danny - question about your shoe selection in general. Do you prefer Goretex or not? It seems skiing down snowfield would = wet feet regardless. Just curious if you prefer waterproof shoes.
    Love the channel. Can't wait for the next episode. Congrats on the success and keep up the motivating and entertaining content.

Just....THANKS...THANKS A LOT ! And by the way, that was the most pathetic shade of blue I have ever seen on a high country body of water. Switzerland, you are slippin’. Gentlemen

    Christofe, how could you have so little faith in Danny! He was in the damn mountains. That's why he didn't get your texts! Danny, I don't know if anything ever really bothers you. If it does, you sure to keep it hidden. I admire your ability to just take on whatever comes and keep going. 22 miles and 6k vertical on Day 1 turns into 30 miles and 10k of climbing. No problem. Impressive. Oh yeah,, that AND you stop to set up the camera for remote shots.
