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
Pour une fois, pas de plans saccadés violents, pas de musique rythmée agressive, pas d'effets spéciaux lourds et tape-à-l'oeil dans ce reportage. Et c'est tant mieux ! 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.
@@adventuresofavish Hi. Yes 😁 Seven days at end of septembre. Wild camped All the way apart from one night in the refuge just before Courmayeur 🍻 🍲 Fantastic weather ☀️ Cold nights with one fierce windy night, one torrential rain night. And one with a frozen tent. Absolutely amazing… Met some awesome people and saw a Lynx cat 🐈⬛ amazing. Etc etc etc Same again next year or maybe the tour des écrins 💭 All the best.
I probably met you along the way. We reached “col de l aup Martin” practically at the same moment, but I was walking on the tour clockwise. I remember you were as zen as your video makes you appear :) god we had such a bad weather ! And actually it got even worse the next days
I remember you. We have some talks on gears. Yes the weather was pretty rough the following days. Hope all good on your side. Thanks for dropping by and showing your appreciation 🙂
Bonjour, je découvre ta chaîne et ton travail 👌. Bravo ! Très beau Trek et très beau montage vidéo .. tu mérites beaucoup plus de vue 👍amicalement Éric
Great video, best GR54 one I have found on RU-vid. W are going late July. Hope to do it in 9 days. I see you wild camped. Can you camp near the refuges or is that not allowed.
Hey thank you :) yes, you can camp near the refuges, some of them will allow you to camp nearby for free as well. One of the most beautiful campsite i found was near refuge de vallonpierre, overlooking the lake. see 20:43
A very brave/courageux man just you and the big man upstairs and a pack of starving wolves, bravo to you Sir. We managed to scale Pic de Bure once and that was an experience of a life time perhaps Ecrins will be in my bucket list. thanks for sharing .
I really enjoyed your video Avish thank you for providing great outdoor content like this. Your channel is a MUST SUBSCRIBE. I started to record hiking videos my own, so I know how hard it is. Well done! Keep up the good work, so looking forward to your next film. All the best for you. Mario
Ça ne s'appelle pas le Tour de l'Oisans ce Tour des Écrins ? 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. J'y ai passé une partie de ma vie dans ce massif. 👋🏻😊
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!
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.
Very nice, plan to do this next summer, can't wait, your footage is great! So didn't you do the last stretch from Montier les Bains to Le Bourg d'Oisans? Why did you stop there? Run out of time or was it planned like that? How did you chose your camping spots? Did you plan in advance or did you go by the flow? Thx!
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 :)
@@adventuresofavish thx, that's a good information, yeah, I realized that you did it anti clockwise, I was sitting with my map watching your hiking movie, already knew, that some parts of the tour des ecrins are in rather boring ski resorts,...maybe I'll copy your approach! Like it , great work, thx again : )
amazing video. I want to make the same trip this July but I was hoping you can help me lessen it to 4 days since i have other destinations. I really want to include this lake in the trip as well. 27:47 thanks in advance mate. really good job
Hi. For 4 days, I would advise doing it anti c/w like i did. Start in Le bourg d'oisans and end it in Le monetier (where you can bus back to Le bourg d'oisans/Grenoble).
