- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Join us as we embark on an unforgettable journey along the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB). Spanning 11 days, this adventure takes us through three countries-France, Italy, and Switzerland-showcasing some of the most breathtaking landscapes and challenging trails in Europe.
📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
* iPhone 13 Max - amzn.to/4bLmQU9
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by. Soon I will upgrade to iPhone 15 or 16 when it comes out mostly because of the stabilisation features and quality upgrades.
* DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - its small, compact and provides amazing footage.
* GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and quality.

Thanks. A friend and I are doing 11 days starting in early August. Sharing your experience was helpful. We live next to the Canadian Rockies so we’ve been doing a lot of climbing for practice!!!

Lovely vlog! 📸🌸 Enjoyed every second! ⌛️
You have an amazing presence on camera! 🎥
Love your video. Nice pictures, and a really good storytelling along your walk. A little tip till next time you walk with the walkingsticks, I really recomend using the straps on the top af the sticks as a skiing stick. It gives more help along the trails for resting your legs. Have a great summer.
@@peterlundgaard6084 thank you for the comment and also the tip!
One of my best multiday treks last year. Congrats you both! And great video :)
@@gstefanof that is great! 👏👏. How many days did you hike? What was your favourite part?
@@joeyjourneys_eu 14 days total. In Champex Lac we had 3 days heavy rain ahead so I decided to make a detour, took a train to Zermatt and went for a trek around Matterhorn.
My three best stages. 1- col du Bonhome and col des Fours, happy I took this variant. 2-Bertone to Bonatti with Grandes Jorales for sundown and sunrise, 3 - the ladders and Lac Blanc to La Flegere.
@@gstefanof that sounds like a great detour. Congrats for completing it 👏💪
You have such a lovely personality! 🌞
great movie!

waaw... nice
Joey I detect a 🇿🇦 twang. If so congrats on getting your ZAR to stretch so far - DBN!
Your K-Way puffer confirms it😅. I'm definitely subscribing.
@JohnVianneyPatron You are right sir! We have proud Afrikaans accents :). Dis mos lekker! Thanks for subscribing. We are living in the Netherlands at the moment but we are missing the beauty of South Africa and can't wait to come back and shoot some videos of some epic hiking trips there.
Nice content
Dankie vir pragtige video clip van die TMB!
Ons is twee Suid Afrikaners wat beplan om die TMB September 2025 te stap.
Sal graag meer inligting wil hê ivm al die voorbereiding(admin) asb.
Hello! Dit is lekker om van Suid Afrikaners to hoor. Dis awesome dat julle die TMB wil doen - julle sal dit love! Natuurlik, ons sal enige tyd help. Soek julle informasie oor die roete, verblyf, fiksheid, etc?
I'll never get tired of watching your videos.
Dit was super lekker om 'n video te kyk met Suid-Afrikaners op die roete.
Ek wil graag weet of julle portable water filters gebruik het en indien wel, watter soort?
Ook, was dit beter om te vlieg tot in Amsterdam en 'n bus te vat tot waar julle begin het?
En laastens, hoe lank en hoe het julle voorberei vir die stap (fiksheid)?
Nicely done, julle!
@@merigeyer2494 Hello! Ons het nooit ons water filters gebruik nie. Ons het die BeFree water filters maar nie nodig gehad nie. Ons het elke dag ons water vol gemaak by die refuges (1.5l bottle elk) en amper elke dag was daar n restaurant so half pad. Net dag 2 het ons uit water begin hardloop maar dis omdat ons n variant gedoen het en verlore geraak het - amper dubbel so ver geloop. Laat weet as julle nog wil weet. Dis actually by nice want jy kan kos, water en snacks elke dag kry. So kan lig travel.
@@merigeyer2494 Ons bly in Amsterdam en het na Geneva gevlieg. Dis maklik om n bus van daar te kry - so 2 ure en kan kaartjies online koop
@@merigeyer2494 Die roete is nie tegnies te moeilik nie maar daar is baie op draande elke dag - so 800 tot 1000m. Ons bly in Nederland nou wat baie plat is so maar gefocus op hardloop en bietjie gym met squats en ons was fine gewees. Vat dit net stadig en gebruik hiking sticks as jy kan. As jy bietjie hardloop en veral heuwels kan doen so 1-2 keer per week behoort jy fine te wees. En laastens hiu jou pack lig - jy het regtig nie nodig om baie te vat nie. Hou dit by 1 paar extra klere en ander essentials. Kos, snacks, water etc kan jy daar kry. En as jy in refuges bly dan kort net n sleeping bag liner en dan geen tent, cooking gear etc nie
@@joeyjourneys_eu Waardeer die info. Baie dankie!
What month did you do the TMB?
Hi, we went at the end of July/ early August. We mostly have very good weather but it also means that there are more people on the trail
I will be starting my TMB on August 19. I’m hoping for warm and dry weather.
@@me-lg1yw Augustus is a great month for it. Sometimes summer starts a bit later so Aug is normally the safest time to go
