Join my brother and I as we travel through Switzerland! The Haute Route is a 180km route from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland. I told my brother about it, and the trip slowly evolved into a reality! After about a year of planning, booking, and pulling our equipment together we finally embarked on our adventure. This cinematic feature of the Swiss Alps shares nearly all of the most iconic locations of the Haute Route. I strove to focus on the photographic beauty of Switzerland and the Haute Route rather than the route itself, though maps are shared displaying our exact GPS navigational route. This is a hiking movie through and through! So sit back and enjoy.
In 2019, my brother and I embarked on an epic journey across Switzerland on the Haute Route. It was absolutely incredible! Together we hiked 130 miles (210km) and climbed 30,866 feet (9,408m) from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland and other locations. This trek took us through quaint villages, beneath quiet forests, on ancient glaciers, and over massive cols.
It wasn't easy, but well worth every step! Stretching across 14 days we hiked through all kinds of weather and terrain. The Haute Route leads through the most beautiful places that I have ever seen.
Featuring maps and summaries, photography, drone footage, beautiful music and in brilliant 4K, this is my greatest project. Episode 1 is a small introduction to the film, but every hiking and travel enthusiast will enjoy it all the way through. If you do, a 👍 on the video helps my little channel immensely. Enjoy!
