Hiking 180km from Chamonix to Zermatt on the Walker’s Haute Route

[@Andrew_Briscoe]

Wow, you are a natural-born hiker! Your first backpacking trip was so much more adventurous than most. Great job and thanks for posting!

[@Simon-gt5bo]

Well done and very nice film.

[@TrekkingTheRockies]

I'm so happy you created this film. Thanks for sharing your first backpacking trek. You have accomplished so much since 2018. All your films are fantastic and I look forward to what's ahead for you.

[@luboyanev]

Thank you so much for the support! There were definitely plenty of lessons to learn on that trip! Hope the winter in the Rockies is treating you well!

[@romidumitrescu]

great video, Lyubo. So many superb shots, especially considering it was filmed such a long time ago. Congrats!

[@luboyanev]

Thank you! Yeah there were many things to learn on that trip, both about camping and filming those adventures.. Happy hiking!

[@beerdemus2812]

Good to see a new video Lyubo. Switzerland is amazing! This video makes me want to go back.

[@luboyanev]

Thank you for watching! The infrastructure in the Alps gives access to so many incredible trails..I think it's also worth going back for some more hiking there :) Happy hiking!

[@MoritzBaldes]

Hi Lyubo, I really loved this video. It makes me wish I had captured my first multi-day-hike to tell a similar story like you did. Keep it up :)

[@adrianbell4597]

So many routes and so little time. Your films never fail to impress Lyubo and considering this has been on the back burner for some years, it's still a quality production. Thanks for your content style and continuing inspiration. Keep safe.

[@luboyanev]

Thank you so much! It was indeed on the back burner :D but eventually had to push though the edit for it :) Have a great winter!

[@Iron-Outdoor]

great journey!

[@antoonmijnen2340]

Hey Lyubo, love your videos! You actually inspired me to get my first camera to record my own adventures, which I'm doing right now in Madeira and I believe I passed you today at the caldeirão verde. We were going the opposite direction and it took a few seconds to realize it was you, otherwise would have said hi! Are you shooting videos in Madeira? If so, looking forward to see it. Take care and keep inspiring people to go on adventures! Greetings, Antoon

[@realNicoCollu]

Another gem that was incredibly enjoyable to watch! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@luboyanev]

Thank you Nico! Finally catching up with replying to older comments :D Cheers brother!

[@swisshikerontour]

Was für eine grossartige Reise ist denn😮😊 Sehr toll. Sehr schön! Einfach atemberaubend! Den letzten Teil. [Europaweg] kannte ich.😊 Ich hoffe das dieses Abenteuer lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird💪.

[@luboyanev]

Hey, dankeshoin! Thank you :)

[@andrewstorm8240]

To record while walking is great effort. Did you take all food with you or buy on way?

[@joaoveganvisirlbo5320]

... back on track!!! 🤩

[@luboyanev]

Back down memory lane :) Thank you Joao 🙌

[@markusrosehill]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing 👌

[@luboyanev]

My pleasure, thank you for watching!

[@lutzl]

Congratulations to both your trip and your video! It is very informative and has the right length. Very good!

[@luboyanev]

Thank you for the support, I am glad it was enjoyable to watch!

[@magdalinayankova2024]

Well, I guess this trauma of your friend somehow predestined your love for solo trekking. 🙂 Quite a serious route for a first multi-day camping trip in the mountains! You did a great job though. Thanks for sharing this special experience with us. ❤

[@luboyanev]

Thank you so much for the continuous support! And you may be right, my friend getting injured might have made me believe that is possible to go on these trips solo :)

[@alperentunc5340]

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful video. Can you also share your routes with us via Strava or komoot or outdooractive or alltrails?

[@christophblume4938]

Great Video 👍

[@luboyanev]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

[@Ivo.georgiev]

Благодаря за видеото, скоро тръгвам и аз по маршрута.

[@luboyanev]

Ее супер, надявам се добре е минал прехода и при вас!

[@himzoisic414]

Great channel!

[@luboyanev]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed watching the videos!

[@zonyzipper]

You said there was a rocky part that has been closed as of 2024. Where does the trail go instead?

[@Anepmas]

Great video! Unfortunate about your friends haha. Did they ever join you for another trip after this?

[@luboyanev]

Thank you! And no, we met with these friends a few more times back in Denmark, but we never went on another hiking trip together.

[@BurnyTone]

Hi, excellent video! Did you use any maps or gps files? Thanks

[@luboyanev]

Thank you! And yes, I did have two gpx tracks as well as the guidebook, and I would definitely recommend having the gpx tracks as there are so many trails and junctions, and when I hiked not always was it marked as Walkers haute route. Happy hiking!

[@euanupton6100]

Would u ever consider doing Alta via 2? Looks like a challenging but beautiful route :)

[@luboyanev]

I was actually about to attempt to do it a few years ago :) I don't know if you saw I have a video from the Alta Vía 1 on the channel, and my plan was to do AV1 going north and then the AV2 going south.. but as you may have seen I had some trouble on the AV1 and decided end the trip after finishing it.. But yes, I think going through some via ferratas would be fun :) Have you done it, or do you consider doing it?

[@euanupton6100]

⁠@@luboyanevah that sounds lovely! Yes I loved that video, it got me and my group to do Alta via 1 last year, I’m planning to do AV2 next summer, the via ferrata up mt marmolada seems too good of a challenge to miss :)

[@luboyanev]

@@euanupton6100 Yes, the Alta Via 2, definitely seemed more of remote trail compared to the AV1. Did you get the chance to do the AV2? From my experience I think the AV1 was pretty crowded..

[@audiosaurus6511]

Is it normal that the ski cabin is open?

[@luboyanev]

That's a very good question, but I don't know the answer, maybe I was lucky that one time.. it was a pleasant surprise, but I also had the tent with me.. Being new to camping back in 2018 (and often times to this day) it would take me a pretty long time to pack everything up and start hiking, and not having to pack and dry the tent saved quite some time.. Happy hiking!

Thank you, cheers!

[@judo2565]

Hey, i was wondering if you could compare the haute route and the gr20? I hiked the gr 20 last summer, and had a great time, was thinking about the haute route, and was wondering how you would compare them in difficulty and general experience?

[@luboyanev]

Hey, thank you for the comment! To be honest I had quite a different gear for both hikes, so for me the Haute Route seemed much more slow and heavier on the shoulders from what I remember :D Hiking it now would be a much more pleasant experience probably. The Haute Route had quite a few long ascends and descends as it goes from one deep valley to the next, and despite the long steep parts it didn't really have the more technical sections that the GR20 had. Overall, both great hikes, seeing Mont Blanc and Matterhorn was pretty special on the Haute Route
