My journey began in Chamonix, where I ascended into the Aiguilles Rouges and spent my first night. From there, I descended to Col des Montets and continued to Lac de Champex, heading toward Sembrancher for my second night. In Verbier, I pushed on over Col de La Chaux and Col de Louvie, camping near Col de Prafleuri. Crossing Col de Prafleuri, I passed Cabane de Prafleuri and climbed over Col des Roux to reach the stunning Lac des Dix. Near Lac des Dix, I was picked up by helicopter (details in the pinned comment below). After recovering, I resumed my trek from Arolla to Les Haudères, camping just outside the town. I then tackled Col de Torrent to reach Lac de Moiry, crossed the Moiry Glacier, and spent the night in the remote Cabane de Moiry CAS with incredible glacier views. On day seven, I crossed Col de Sorebois to Corne de Sorebois and descended into Zinal. Day eight took me deep into the mountains above Zermatt, where I camped at Stellisee with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. On the final day, I completed my trek back to Zermatt, wrapping up an unforgettable journey through some of the most iconic passes and landscapes of the Alps.
