Hiking 10 days alone on the Tour Des Ecrins Trail in France | GR® 54

In July 2021 I solo hiked 190 Km on the GR® 54 - Tour de l'Oisans and Tour des Écrins, at the heart of the Écrins National Park.
From Alpine valleys to majestic mountain passes, the trail winds its way through an unspoilt setting marked by high mountains. Along the way, i wild camped.

    M. Avish. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. As said by Sam, one of the most beautiful i have seen on YT. Much respect and congratulations for what you did and the way you did it. I was sitting in front of my screen but i could feel the freshness of the water, the whirlwinds in my hair, the sun on my skin and it brings back memories of myself reaching the summit of La Roche de la Muzelle, la Barre des Ecrins, l'Ailefroide and other beauties we can see in this video. Simple steady shots, sounds of nature, quiet musics, superbe editing and shots composition... Bravo

La montagne est à découvrir comme ça, en toute simplicité, pureté, et sans frime, pour mieux en apprécier toute la majesté. Incroyable vidéo d'une des plus belles régions du monde. Vous lui rendez un magnifique hommage, respectueux, qui plus est. Tout a fait l'esprit que je cherche et que j'ai ressenti dans ce même secteur. Bravo.

Le véritable tour des Écrins c'est du pur alpinisme de haute altitude par des cols peu pratiqués et des glaciers pentus et des cols tels que le col des Écrins, le col de la Roche Faurio, le col de la temple.....etc y'a plein de variantes pour qui connait les lieux.

    The GR 54 is one of the trails that was recommended to me from a Swiss couple I ran into while hiking the John Muir Trail here in the U.S. From your videos I don't see very many trees if one wanted to hammock camp or camp with a little privacy. Can you recommend any hikes in Europe where I might find more trees & lakes? Thx!

  • @adventuresofavish

    @adventuresofavish

    Hi. The reason why you don’t see any trees on the gr54 it’s because most of the hiking is done above tree line. For trees and lakes you can check Norway and Sweden. Also, On Mallorca island, Spain you can hammock camp but you won’t find any lakes. You can check my video on hiking the Gr221 in Mallorca.

    It was planned like this. I already covered the most beautiful part of the trek so the remaining 2 days were not really worth it for me. Btw, i hiked anti clockwise covering the wildest part first. As far as camping i would stop when i was done for the day, no particular planning. There are some spots i passed by that were so beautiful that i would stop and pitch my tent by 3pm. Some other days i would be hiking from sunrise to sunset. It really depends :)
