Tour Du Mont Blanc | Chapter 5 | France Italy & Switzerland | Courmayeur – Rifugio Bonatti | DAY 5

Toity good morning so we have just left our hotel uh from last night behind us honestly it’s such a beautiful place how is three stars and not more than that I do not know and breakfast was included this morning and it’s probably one of the bre best breakfasts we’ve had in a

While they had almond or and soy milk as well as the options so we had some cereal a proper Italian coffee as well which is also included in breakfast so very happy about that and then upon leaving then we also got a little candle that they’ have homeade for us to take

Home all right M me so I think it might incense it’s said salt I’m sure said I can’t even find it either way it’s really really cute I mean it looks like soap but I’m sure anyone a candle shaped to a love heart as well but uh 10 out of 10 would

Recommend um and now we’re back on the trail 900 me climb the sun’s already pretty hot um but now we’re going to walk through cor cuz our hotel was just outside and we did go into town yesterday though and it was really really pretty so um excited to take you

Through there this morning before we climb the [Applause] hill little vending machine shop where you can get a bottle of wine some Nutella little PCOS some ham cheese [Applause] so we walked up this hill yesterday to come for dinner and um I can tell you it is significantly harder climbing this

Hill with a back off yesterday I was not out of breath at all but today I’m like oh it’s so much harder with the back on been a while I seen you yester you’re awake and get a break when I’m alone I can’t help thinking thinking am I crazy now going

As of lately I’ve been missing what we have now you’re right here but there’s a Fear oh oh with my Little before I’m high enough so I’m scared days die in h me see I’ve been heing through iny a relatively s CL through the woods I think finally get to the top we got epic views starting to clear out a bit and get a bit Rocky what a beautiful day and

To say that the forest was relatively steep that should been a really nice climb I don’t know that’s cuz we like in a bed or eating a ton of calories I don’t know I’m feeling pretty good today feeling sweaty as pug cuz still not adjusted to the seat yet but uh

Definitely feeling good excited to get to the top we also have the bluest sky today insane and just down there is where we came from this morning so crazy so I’m not 100% sure I’m pretty sure that’s where we came on yesterday on this bit here we think one experts another

All so when you see the Refuge behind is there and you think you’re at the top you’re not we still got this s to GL but uh not far now and the views as for usual are absolutely beautiful and there she is Mont Blanc directly from the other

Side what a be good news we get the flat route for strange we’re not going up this hill here that I honestly thought we were going up it was just a short clim from the Hut and now we’ve done our Hill for the day 2,000 M up and it is gradual along

The mountain side with an EIC view of Mont Bon took one step out the door i’ taken before I can’t make amends those only good Friends the trail today is insane in fact this whole Italian section has been mind blowing light it is absolutely stood in insane Insane time and place screaming on the balcony the echo of the hey keep me from jumping I can make you love me I I I don’t want ruin my Face so we’ve invested in the world strong crispiest hardest baguette it’s well hard to break I don’t think it’s a baguette I think it’s a different type of bread a French it’s wellis so I’m pretty sure that down there is where we’re going to be camping tonight

So we’re going to walk along the trail and just past batti I think I think it’s a few K past um Refuge batti um down to I think it’s called or nor and and from there I think they offer a free shuttle but we have got

Change cuz I don’t know it seems weird that it’ll be free um but either way we’re getting a bus back down the valley that we’ve walked and to our camp spot for the night I guess if you want to camp that’s probably the best way to do

It cuz obviously we are still in ch um otherwise you you have to stay at Refuge batti so it should be a good day so it should be a good afternoon um I think you can also get the bus down from bonatti um but I think you have to hike on like

A bit of a link path whereas if we get it from AR over there’s really like I think we’re like 2 minutes from the bus stop so we definitely rather do the extra KS on trail than like an extra off Trail so yeah so far today has been

Insane and like we are doing a bit of a hill now but honestly like it has been relatively flat since we’ve been up the hill and the views are absolutely stunning s made how insane is this we’re literally walking relatively flat around the edge of the Hills we have an insane amount of

Wild flowers we have an insane amount of butterflies we have views of Mont Blanc Blue Sky Sunshine like it’s Perfect I been around but I can’t get you out of my heart try to stay try to forget but the thoughts they seem to tr Instead I’ve always wondered what it takes to fill this empty void inside but now I realize that will be nice on camera been around no one else has got me feeling this way every minute every hour I spend is on you every single Day I’ve always wonder what it takes to F this empty Bo inside something about And we made it to Refuge Batti might sry for a little drink cuz we are th St so we just passed batti there and starts for a quick water break um but apart from that we’re powering through it’s only about 2:00 I think and we’ve got I think 5K left till we get to the road

Where we can catch the bus to Camp so honestly not doing bad at all the time very very hot now though but um exced the rest of the day and for anyone that does want to STI looks beautiful with these Mountain views as well to by to be it to To Da illegal cuz we’re still on the Italian side but what a spot wow I just cannot get enough of how insane today’s Trail is that mountain is like close I feel like I can reach out and touch it like it’s incredible such an amazing day probably our favorite day so far the whole

Italian part of the TMV has just been incredible and um I’m pretty sure when we cross out of this Valley tomorrow that’s when we heading to Switzerland so uh yeah hopefully Switzerland will be just as beautiful I’m sure it will cuz this showa so far has been insane

It’s definitely uh hot enough of bit now and I have this random urge just to go sit in the river but uh if we weren’t getting a bus I’d be very very tempted I don’t really want to sit on a shuttle bus with a wet bomb making other seats

Wet but it is very very temp right Now I love The my aspiration s in red this morning you C in my head last qu love into life pretended one day with a poke me down part look back at myself and be Beauty and you instill in me I couldn’t see It That old going to have to hatch again the true day ofing [Applause] donut so we’ve made it to cam all set up um to get here was a bit mental I think I didn’t really pick the camera up much when we got on the bus it was super

Super ramed like we were literally like side and getting off the bus was a pain in the ass too cuz there were so many people in the way and but we made it to Camping Grand jasis we campsite itself is actually really cool there’s a lot of um campers

With us we all like packed in but it’s really nice CGR just had a hot shower which might have been the most expensive shower on the trip we’re not sure yet they gave us these cards when we came in um that you tap on the shower little did

I know Jordan seems to think that every time you tap it for hot water um it charges you um so we’ll see when we go pay but I must tap mine maybe 10 times so yeah it’ll beit interesting to see how much this cost us at the end and but

They do have a bar and they do have pizza so we’re probably going to go and get some food and a drink although we could do with eating some H so maybe we’ll have some Fu hu first and share a pizza or not have a pizza at all if the showers cost a

Bomb but we’ll uh see how we go for time right Time that old hands going to have to hatch Again

Hey everyone! We’re off on another adventure, this time to Europe, hiking one of the most popular long distance trails in the world, the Tour Du Mont Blanc, starting and ending in Chamonix, passing through France, Italy and Switzerland, this 170km trail circles around the highest mountain in Europe, Mont Blanc – It took us 11 days all together, and involved lots of camping, insane views, and the opportunity to explore this incredible part of the Northern Alps on foot – this is day 5, where we left our hotel in Courmayeur, Italy, and headed back up into the mountains, for another day in the Italian Alps, it was incredible, and as with every day so far, it was one of our favourites – I hope you enjoy, and as always thankyou so much for watching 🙂
