Haute Route: The Most Beautiful Place to Suffer - Mountain trips

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
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 whos 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 theyd been smashed with a hammer and my legs complained about the 30, 000ft of climbing Id 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.

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.

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.

OH MY GOSH! You guys have hit a new all time low. What with Danny meandering the basically flat, viewless Swiss countryside and Cristof jet setting all willy-nilly across the Earth, Im left feeling disappointed and uninspired. 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

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!

I've been following you guys for some time and I'm convinced that if you ever bother to trace your ancestry you might be pleasantly surprised to find out that there are some billy goats somewhere in your DNA. What you guys make look easy is off the charts impressive and borderline unbelievable. I'm in awe.

Amazing scenery and excellent work! As always, I really appreciate the time and care you put into the quality of your filming and editing, during difficult and painful situations. Were there any legal or technical difficulties with flying the drone there? Permits needed? Thanks.
reply

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.

Dix hut, fond memories. The pyramid looking mountain behind you is Mont Blanc de Cheilon, which we climbed along with La Luette. You guys should return for a mountaineering holiday and then you'd get the true vibe whilst staying at Dix; -)

I like your pure and fresh feelings as they are said in front of the camera.
You should be working for National Geographic.
The mountain is whre that I am stunned while I'm in it.
Thanks for sharing

Your footage always looks amazing. What equipment do you use to capture such dynamic range? I don't recall seeing any overt clipping of the highlights and there always seems to be plenty of shadow detail. Great footage.
reply

Awesome video as always, and Im super stoked for whats to come! Quick question: what type of GPS system are you using to track your mileage and climbing? Something like a Garmin watch, or a dedicated GPS tracker?
reply

That part you got lost in is so shit! I did that too and met some others who were so worried they were lost.
I did the Route in reverse and the signage is even worse if thats possible.
Nice work!

Not sure who has taken a worst beating. I can't imagen doing either trip. We have a saying, Take the pain and move to the next level. That you both are. Great video thanks for sharing your adventure.
reply

I like and follow your videos. I am also a hiking and running enthusiast. But Dany, it seems you do not fart and only pure gold comes from your guts. Please, stay safe and post. Marek

Christof flies in business apparently! that's the only way to get some rest on those transatlantic and transpacific flights. I can only imagine because I've never had the privilege.
reply

Wow, gorgeous scenery, and incredible distance and elevation! You must be in amazing physical condition! How much solids & liquids do you carry in your pack for a day like that?
reply

You are the highest master of hiking. Incredible views / great video as always. Can't wait for the next installment video of this series: Crying With Christof!

i love your guys videos, and i respect the way you want to do your trips, but i just dont think i could crush miles like that in such a beautiful place.
reply

This is so freaking great. Premium mix of stunning Swiss mountain beauty, ridiculous badass-ery, and hilarious whining. I absolutely love it.
