The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the most legendary trekking routes in the world. It spans 105 miles and three countries, France, Italy, and Switzerland. For hikers who want to combine Europe's most breathtaking landscapes with culture, language, and food, this is a bucket-list type trek. I recently completed the trek with my buddy Luc Alary who helped me document the adventure.
My recent KZfaq inspirations are ‪@MartijnDoolaard‬ ‪@kraigadams‬ and ‪@HarmenHoek‬ and you can probably see their style imbedded here!

Probably the absolute best hiking-tour video I have ever watched. I've skied many times, many years ago in the general area of your tour. I find the videography mesmerizing, the music stirring and enchanted, what a job to both of you with superb editing. Sorry about the illness, it happens. More of this kind of presentation, please!! I will share this video to all my hiking friends. God's speed

What a great video Eric! Brought me a lot of great memories of my TMB hiking specially when I noted that I AM IN YOUR VIDEO in col du Bonhomme at 11:34 in middle of sheep, even, I am pretty sure we crossed each other and said a cold "bonjour" in the map where your friend was making a sandwich haha . Awesome video you and your friend captured all the beauty and spectacular views of TMB. Thanks for sharing, got emotional watching it.

We came across a very fit couple doing it in 7, but I can assure you, unless you're extremely fit AND doing it UL / donkey carrying your gear, It's going to insanely rigorous. ~5k vert every single day. That said, if you can even do part of it, I'd strongly recommend. The views are insane.

I usually watch backpacking/wilderness adventure videos because I like to backpack. I find it calming. I will watch hours of video from videographers Lost Lakes, Xander Budnick, and Kraig Adams. I am adding to that list Eric Hanson. Your videography is epic. Side note I have found for me one or two odorless garlic soft gels do a fantastic job of getting rid of food poisoning. I always carry a few with me when I backpack. A day of misery turns into one hour.

I fell in love with Mont Blanc hiking the TMB. If you are able to come back one day, I would recommend the variants and taking a day of (or staying half a day) in Courmayeur, taking the cable car up to Punta Hellbronner. The views are breathtaking up there. And maybe even taking the tiny cable cars from there over to Aiguille du Midi and back. That's such a wild and beautiful ride.

I used huts/hotels and had a baggage service take my stuff from place to place. Can't imagine what your knees felt like carrying a full pack! Despite the difficulty, I'm itching to return. Mesmerizing landscape and culture. Thanks for the great video! @@eric_hanson

Amazing! My wife and I have this planned for the future, fairly new to hiking as a couple but this video just cemented the reasons why it’s on our list! Some of the shots here make it hard to believe it’s real

I was born and grew up in Aosta near Courmayeur, this mountains are my home and the TMB was the first longer hike I did. Seeing those places captured so beautifully really brought a lot of emotions back. Thank you

Wow, thanks so much - I did it this year with my 15 year old son -I can't think of a better experience I have had in my life. You have encapsulated how the tour is perfectly - it's such a great journey but the best thing is the people that you meet on the way. next year fast packing the tour du Cervin (matterhorn)!

@@eric_hanson Hi Eric, he was an absolute dream. the thing that really got me was how sociable the whole experience is - there were very few people his age, so he was in a position where he would be interacting with people much older than him but on an equal footing . He loved it, not a bad word between us, a real bonding experience for us and some fantastic memories and photos
