Wider magazine has published a 10-pages story about the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) in issue #15.
Anna, Guillaume, Yannick, Jeremie and I started our Patagonian adventure at El Calafate (Argentina). From there we took a bus down to Torres Del Paine
Story of Philippe and Anna Gatta running along the high route of the Great Himalaya Trail. Philippe aimed to cover the full 1,700km route in just 40 days, while Anna planned to run 670km.
The Mont Blanc Massif is really and amazing place. It is a paradise for climbers, Alpinist, skiers, trekkers and runners. Last weekend, Anna and I
The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is an amazing long distance trail accros three countries: France, Switzerland and Italy. It circles the Mont Blanc Massif covering a distance of roughly 170 km with 10,000 m of ascent.
It is time to leave the heat of the Riviera so Anna, Yannick and I went to Le Suquet in the Vésubie Valley for a 42 km loop.
We did a 32 km loop, around Col de Turini, the village of Moulinet and the peak of Mangiabo.
We just came back from Japan where Anna did the STY (84.7 km and +4860 m) and I did the Ultra-trail of Mt. Fuji (UTMF)
We made a Trail running in the lower valley of Cians. A nice 33 km loop around Col de Mairola and the villages of Rigaud, Lieuche and Thiéry.
Anna and I made a loop of 51 km and +3650 m where I added another 7 km and +700 m, by doing additional peaks where possible, finishing my day with 58 km and +4350 m.
This trail is very scenic, crossing the nice villages of Gourdon, Cipières and Courmes and it is worth doing, the only small issue is the last 5 km along the D3 road but that could be avoided by following the GR51 back to Pont du Loup.
Today we went to the Vesubie Valley and started at Pont du Cros and made a 32 km loop, climbing to Mont Ferion, then back down to St Jean La Rivière, up to Utelle and then Le Cros.
