Nah, I'm with WNW. In good weather, I would much rather be in camp than in any building. And in my experience, the huts high in the mountains of Europe have noisy, open dorms with very poor beds. My wife and I did one camping trip to Europe, but we found no backcountry camping allowed anywhere, and the campgrounds were so tightly packed that they were not much different from the dorms. So even though I like camping, I would not recommend it in Europe unless every night is planned out in advance. shakehead.gif

You definitely understand us, that is why we still despite all those difficulties manage to camp out always, where it is available in the campsites, bu we agree that they can get crowded too especially in the high season in July-August. So we try to travel in the low season from May to June and September-October. Then we often find ourselves the only ones camping and it's the best feeling ever, we just love it.

Camino de Santiago del Norte Full Length Documentary – Fall in Love with Ocean This is a full length documentary of Camino de Santiago del Norte that we've done in September 2018 and hiked around 550kms from Biarritz to Ribadeo. Watch the full video here:
It took us a lot of time and effort but we really wanted to make a compilation of the best and most important moments of our Camino because it was a very special experience to us. It was our first Camino and our first meeting with the ocean. This is the longest and the biggest hike we've done so far. We were staying in the tent all the way through stopping at the campsites or doing wild camping. We were always searching for alternatives and so we were able to visit so many great locations and stunning places. It was our first time at the oceancoast and we are absolutely in love with it. We learnt so many things while doing it. The main one is that the way is more important than the destination and there is no one perfect way for everybody.

Crossing waterfalls, changeable weather and cows attack | Day 8 of TMB Rifugio G. Bertone-Rifugio W. Bonatti, Italy In today's episode of Tour de Mont Blanc we hiked from Rifugio G. Bertone to Rifugio W. Bonatti in Aosta Valley, Italy. Watch the full video here:
The day started with a little drizzling rain and very gloomy weather. During the night we felt a lot of humidity in the air and it was quite cold. The place we found was very nice and secluded and nobody disturbed us - we only heard some sounds of the mountain goats at night. All things were wet including the tent. And we hate when that happens because it means carrying extra weight. We had our leftover cereals for breakfast and began to descend down. The downhill going to the trail was very steep and it was incredible to believe that we did all this uphill yesterday in the evening in search for the campspot when we already were very tired. The rain stopped but the mountains were still covered in clouds. All that day the trail was going on the side of the mountain through the forest paths and several beautiful waterfalls. There were no extreme parts. The weather was very unstable and one moment the sun was coming out and the other it was raining again. With the sun it was quite hot but with the clouds it was chilly so we had to put the warm clothes on and off that day. We met several big cow pastures on the way and there the routes got a bit confusing because of the cows who made paths in every direction. But the steps of the people guided the right way. We were noticing the differences between Italian and other Roman languages that we know like Spanish and French and realized that it was something in between. There are quite a lot of words similar to both of them. But when we heard it from people we didn't undestand most of the words, in written form on the other hand it was more undestandable. And in this region close to Mont Blanc a lot of people were still speaking French. And everyone understood English. So there was no problem with that. For now we learnt several greetings like "Buongiorno, Ciao, Buon pomeriggio, Buona sera" and "Arrivederci" for Goodbye. Also the word "Grazie" of course. We quietly got to the Refugio Walter Bonatti, had our snack and saw the big clouds coming out from the other side of the valley. It started to rain soon and we decided to wait for it to stop under the refugee roof. After an hour or so the rain seemed to stop and we left to continue the trail. We wanted to search for the camp spot from now on along the trail. We hiked only for a km or so and didn't have time to get far from the refugee house when we saw the another big dark clouds coming our way and we knew that it's gonna rain again and this time it seemed to be a thunderstorm. Fortunately we were close to some farm abandoned buildings that were in quite a bad shape with a half broken roof but one house looked better. We just had to push on the door and it was open. So we had to stay there for another hour. It wasn't raining that much but if we were out on the trail we would be all wet. So seeing this unstable weather and more clouds in the sky we decided to descend down to possibly find some place to camp there on the way. And as we had already some experience with this relief yesterday when we saw some trees higher up the trail we knew that it can be our potential campspot. And there actually was some flat spot fortunately and some cow dung made us think that it was used for pasture purposes. So we were happy to find this place very easily and even had time to cook and eat our rice with mushrooms out of the tent enjoying the nature around. Then suddenly it started to rain again, first drizzling and then quite heavily. We got inside our tent and had to go to sleep at 19pm because it got really dark. The thunderstorm over our heads was very disturbing and the rain didn't stop until the morning... Do you prefer cloudy or sunny and clear days on the trail? Why?

Got a sunstroke on the most breathtaking trail through Swiss Alps | Day 9 TMB from Italy to Switzerland In today's episode of Tour de Mont Blanc we hiked from Aosta Valley in Italy to the village La Fouly in Switzerland. Watch the full video here:
It was a first bright sunny morning after a long time. We had the coldest night in our tent, the temperature was probably going down to 5 degrees Celsius. So we were more than happy to see the sun coming out and be able to warm up everything. We noticed that the temperature at night susprisingly didn't depend that much on the elevation we were and could be the same at 1000m and at 2000m for some reason. The camping Grandes Jorasses we stayed in was nice, not very clean but maybe it was because of the wet weather - the floors were a bit dirty. We stayed in a specially dedicated area for the tents in the forest. It was a family owned and managed camping as we understood it and so the atmosphere was very family like. We left the camping at 9am to catch the bus that took us to Chalet Val Ferret Arnouva Desot. This way we could start the trail and climbing the mountain right away and didn't have to walk another extra kms along the car road. Waiting at the bus stop we gazed up and finally saw the Mont Blanc in all its majesty - there was no single cloud around it. It happens so rarely and we witnessed it for the second time starting from Chamonix. The view was breathtaking. After 15 min of a bus ride we were at the place to start the hike. Right from the beginning the path went quite a steep uphill. After 5 minutes of climbing the big beautiful waterfall opened to our eyes. It was sparkly shiny in the magical morning backlight. We did some photos of it and continued on with the trail. The path was going constantly quite a steep uphill. In some places there was a snow left and we had to pass through the slippery snowy sidehills. It is especially dangerous because it was melting already and could broke down any moment. Also there were several waterfalls and bridges to go through. Then we got to the Refugee house Elena searched for the water source and there wasn't any so we just collected some water from a river. And started to ascend the Grand Col Ferret mountain. The path was going in a zig zagging mode so it wasn't extreme nor too difficult. In some places there was quite a bit of mud and it was very easy to slip on it as well as to wetten the shoes. On the last part there was a snowy cap on a sidehill but it was quite flat luckily. So we got to the top of Grand Col Ferret and from there we could see the borders of the 3 countries that we crossed: France on the other side of the valley, Italy down in the valley and now Switzerland in front of us. The views were unforgettable from there with the snowy patterns on the mountains, abrupt and spiky rocks and perfectly clear polarizer sky. We already saw that the way down isn't going to be easy because there was quite a bit of snow left. Some parts were steeper, some parts were flatter but overall it was quite challenging to do. We found that doing the downhill required more effort most of the time as the weight is pushing you down and the knees are working very hard. But with the snow it becomes quite a lot harder because of unstable and slippery ground that can go down any moment. We learnt that we don't enjoy walking in the snow also because you're concentrating so much on the path that you don't have a possibility to look around and relax. Everything is very tense and concentrated. So you end up missing a lot of the views on the way. We would love to do the same trails but without snow here - we're sure it would be quite a different experience. On the downhill we met several marmots that were running up and down the hills. Also to our surprise we met several cyclists who carried their mountain bikes up the trail. And it was crazy to think that they were going to come down with their bikes from all that mud, snow and unstable rocks with steep paths. When the snowy part was over we descended quite fast to the refugee La Peule and there we saw lots and lots of spotty cows on the hills. There we even saw a small milking machine so probably they made a fresh milk products right at the place. The weather was burning hot and we felt that we probably sunburnt quite a lot that day. We walked without a single shadow for 5 hours straight and when we went down to the river we felt dizzy and probably it was all because of the extreme strong sunlight magnified by the snow as well. So we washed our faces with the cold spring water, had our lunch break in the shadow and left to do another 5 kms to the village La Fouly. This last part was very easy going on the car road and passing through small villages, idyllic grassy fields and sheep pastures. The sun was setting down and it felt better to walk at this time of the day. Very soon we got to our destination village La Fouly and went straight to the supermarket to buy some food. Right away we noticed a different currency on the price tags and were a bit confused about it. But hoped it to be equivalent to euros. The prices were very expensive. For example two tomatoes costed us 1.20 euro, simple white bread 2.20 euros and so on so forth. It turned out that the exchange rate is higher for the euros than local francs so we ended up paying even more. So we had to learn about the exchange rates more apparently. We didn't expect for the campsite to be cheap at all and in the end it costed 23 euros which wasn't that expensive actually as we paid around same price in some places even in Spain. But when we actually got to explore it a bit we absolutely fell in love with it. It was very spacious green area partly in the forest with very big pitches. There wasn't any cabins or houses just the pitches for camper vans and tents. We could pick any place we liked the most. There was a free wifi connection covering most of the camping as well which is rarely happens. The facilities were all in a very good condition and clean. But as always the best part is the location - it was surrounded by the high mountain summits from all sides. Tour de Mont Blanc together with plenty other trails goes right through this camping. There was a playground and adventure park right in the campsite. So we can highly recommend this camping to stay in - it got everything you need for a backpacker and good quiet rest is guaranteed there. It was interesting to notice different things about Switzerland and making real opinion about it. Because before visiting this country all we knew was a secure bank system, good watch craft, chocolate and milk products and that's about it. So we were really excited to discover more about it. How do you imagine Switzerland? What is Switzerland for you?

Nice video! For me, Switzerland is very addicting, and very expensive. I have been fortunate to hike in the Swiss Alps the past two summers with my son who was stationed at Ramstein in Germany. He did a lot of research and we were able to find a few hostels and also Rotstock Hutte along Section 12 of the Via Alpina above Murren, which were affordable. We also found affordable lodging in Kandersteg, along Section 13, where the scenery was equally magnificent and there weren’t as many tourists. Both years we went the week before the Swiss schools got out and were able to go on some mid-week hikes where we saw very few people.

Thank you! So true about Switzerland. We did realize it during the next days how expensive it was. But at the same time we didn´t want to leave it because of incredible beauty around us. That is so great that you could discover some affordable options to stay, very important there. Do you have more exact information about it? Would be helpful to know if we some time go back to it. We found that campsites are quite good options to stay too.

We greatly enjoyed our experience at Rotstockhutte, at the base of the Schilthorn, along Section 12 of the Via Alpina. It is a hut with dormitory style sleeping upstairs, and a comfortable dining room downstairs. Bathrooms are in a building close by. A delicious dinner and breakfast were included in the price of the lodging, if I remember correctly, about 70 Swiss Francs. Here is a pic of the hut from the outside: Also there is a barn where cows are brought in twice a day from the high pastures and milked. The cheese and other dairy products are made on site for the kitchen and are incredibly delicious!

It is a strenuous hike uphill from Murren to reach Rotstockhutte, but the scenery was world class, really worth the effort! The previous year, we stayed in a hostel above Grindelwald which my son paid for, so I don’t know the cost, but he said it was very reasonable. We dayhiked Section 11, from Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen, right under the Eiger and again, the scenery was simply mind-blowing. I highly recommend hiking up to the high hut above Kandersteg and Lake Ochinensee, although I don’t know about affordable options such as camping, as we stayed in a nice hotel, but the views along the way are equally impressive. Both years we also stayed in affordable hostels in the Jura region near the French border and absolutely loved the hiking trails that wind through the charming little villages and castles. I posted trip reports for these last year.

Thank you for detailed response. Your messages really make us want to do the Via Alpina. We initially when travelling to Dolomites and Alps were considering doing some Alta Via but then we learnt that on some sections there are Via Ferratas and had to quit this idea because with the heavy backpacks it would be quite dangerous. Is it similar to Alta Vias, are there Via Ferrata sections?

I spent a week at Kandersteg international Scout center in the Bernese Oberland region as a chaperone for my son's boy scout troop back in 2004. It was a winter ski trip, but what a place. The Scout center is not just for scouts and is open to the general public at around $35 per night but operates more like a hostel than a hotel. For example, you have to clean your own room and help in the kitchen, but is a fun place. You can't get to a much better part of the Alps that that! The history of the Kindersteg scout center can be found here. Some of the boys in our scout group even got their photo on the following year's marketing brochure. My son is standing in the back in the red hat.

That is very cool, HTT! I agree with you about Kandersteg, the scenery rivals the best we saw on the Via Alpina between Grindelwald and the Schilthorn, where we stayed at Rotstockhutte, only it’s not as expensive and overrun with tourists. When I have time, I will post some TR’s with lots of pictures. smile.gif As for the concern about more challenging Via Ferrata sections of trail, there were none that you are required to walk on between Lauterbrunnen and Rotstockhutte. However, once you reach the high pass, sorry I forget it’s name, yes, there is challenging terrain. Here are a couple of pics, one of my brother after he forded a very challenging creek, and the other of the high pass, which my son was able to climb up to.

We had to turn around at that point due to snow travel which we didn’t have the proper equipment for, since it was still early in the season. The conditions were similar above Kandersteg and Lake Ochinensee, although we did almost make it up to the high hut, which was just opening that day. Meanwhile, a group of Swiss girls wearing cutoffs and using no traction devices marched briskly by us carrying 40 lb. packs full of supplies for the hut. lol.gif I did walk on a section of Via Ferrata by accident coming back to Murren after our stay at the hut. I was hiking by myself that morning and took the wrong fork in the trail. I ended up on a knife edge ridge which had a cable to hold on to. Added a little spice to the adventure. clown.gif

That sounds awful adventuresome for someone of my generation! Hope you can keep it up for as long as I intend to. One day we took the train from Kandersteg to the next village and then a cable car up the mountain (I think it was the Elsigenalp). There was a small resort with hotels and shops on the side of the mountain up near the top where we connected to the next cable car. I thought, what a place to stay! But I was most impressed by the view of the Alps from the summit. Also, there was a large sign up there that said in the early 1800's a valley glacier released and went cascading toward the small village in the river valley below. Luckily only a few cows were killed.

That’s interesting, HTT, because we wanted to go up to the next village, but were at the end of our week, sadly. As for my propensity for adventures, I’m pretty sure that the older I get, the more often I forget how old I’m supposed to be. biggrin.gif

That is really inspiring, now we want to explore this region of Alps as well. We too hope that you will continue hiking for many years and the people like you is a real role model to us younger generation. Sometimes we are not as strong as you are in your age. So keep it strong! smile.gif

Switzerland is too expensive!? Is it for real? | Day 10 of TMB from La Fouly to Champex-Lac That day of Tour de Mont Blanc we hiked from the village La Fouly to Champex -Lac in Switzerland. Watch the full video here:
It was one of the warmest nights that we had, we didn't even put on our warm hats which is a big deal because we've been doing it during the whole trip. We got up very early to be able to do the biggest part of the trail as early as possible. So we wrapped everything up and got on a trail. We knew that it's going to be a hot day by how blue the sky was and the strong sunlight right from the morning. Also seeing the weather forecast for a week it was all clear and sunny days. We wanted to get to the village Champex La Lac which was in 14 kms and the trail wasn't expected to be difficult. First 7 kms till the village Praz de Fort were going downhill through the dirt car roads and some forest paths. We even met a snow on the way which was really unexpected - probably it got down from somewhere higher. Also there was a beautiful big waterfall that was coming down from the mountain rock. Then we were going through the villages Praz de Fort, les Arlaches and Issert. And we noticed that local architecture was mostly houses made of wood, some were very old threatening to break down, sone very new. That was a speciality of the local villages and it looked very unique and cohesive. Soon the fresh morning air changed to stuffy hot midday air, we passed through several fields with no shadow and were at the foot of the uphill for that day. It was 4.5 kms uphill with around 300m of elevation gain. It seems more than doable and easy but in reality was quite hard for us. Because of the heat and strong sunlight the cardiovascular activity was too intense and it was hard to breathe. So we had to stop every 1.5 km in a shadow for a break. This way we were able to do it. Thanks God the path was going in quite dense forest otherwise it would be close to impossible to do. Also there were several water sources which helped a lot to resupply. When we were walking in the sun even 100m were too much because of the hot burning sunlight and no wind whatsoever. So we knew that the rest of the days we will get up even earlier to escape this extreme middle day heat. So having these little breaks at 16 pm we made it to the village Champex La Lac. It turned out to be quite a big village and the Lake was all surrounded by the houses which made it look less natural to us. We did a little shopping in the supermarket which turned out to be the same expensive one as the last one we bought from. The prices were triple as high as we would pay in France or Spain for the same products. So we just bought some cheese, yougurts, small chocolate bar and bread which was already 12 euros in total. So when hiking in Switzerland on a budget it would be appropriate to have some dry food supplies already with you so that you don't have to resupply that often. We had our snack at the side of the lake and a bit exhausted from the heat started to get out of the village. We planned to be wild camping that night to save up some money and also because we didn't like the camping we saw, compared to the last one it was too small and crowded. So we left the village to explore the forest surroundings and it was challenging to find a place because of the amount of car roads and hiking trails all around. But we found one spot on a ski trail higher than a car road but unfortunately not surrounded by the forest - it was all open space. And also there was some hiking path going through but we just hoped that it is not in a lot of use. So we were having dinner and resting on our mats until the dusk then set up a tent and went to sleep when it's started to get dark. Because we wanted to start tomorrow's day very early as quite a high uphill was expecting us. What is the most expensive country or place you've been to?

We are a young couple who loves hiking, nature walking and camping. We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can. Also we have a Youtube channel where we're showcasing all our hikes.
