Hiking 120 miles Alone on the Tour Du Mont Blanc
About this work
Six days hiking 120 miles around the Mont Blanc massif through Switzerland, France, and Italy. The trail film is followed by an extended discussion of the route: refuges, places to sleep, transport, navigation, food, and the experience of filming alone. The chapters separate each walking day from the trip reflections and planning discussion.
