The next morning, when we left the hotel in Grandas de Salime, the weather showed its more gracious side. The stores had also opened by now, which gave us the opportunity to stock up on fresh snacks at the local corner store. On the way out of the village, we picked up Stefan at one…
The day didn’t start very promisingly when we left the hostel. The heavens opened their floodgates and we struggled along the road through the pelting rain. On the way, we met up again with our pilgrim friend Stefan, with whom we had walked stages of the Camino together since Colinas de Arriba. It almost felt…
Rain was often our biggest problem on this hike, but today the weather went one better. In addition to the rain, a strong wind blew against us – on the very day on which we crossed the highest point of the Camino Primitivo on the famous Hospitales route: 1,220 meters above sea level. GPS data…
From Tineo, it’s initially uphill again until we’re back on the trail. It’s cool and windy, but at least it’s not raining when we leave the hostel.

The day started relaxed at 8am. We only had to walk a short 20 kilometers today and then we would be at our destination, just a short walk to the car. We were so euphoric to be able to finish the tour today on this last beautiful day before the snow. When I left the…
Today was the sixth stage of our Tour du Mont Blanc. From our campsite, we set off on a 28-kilometre hike with an elevation gain of 1400 meters towards Col de la Forclaz. The first few kilometers took us through a picturesque Swiss landscape with green meadows and charming mountain villages. Despite the cloudy sky,…
Today it was time to sleep in again and have a leisurely breakfast in front of the tent. The first bus to take us back to the trail didn’t leave until 8 a.m., and the stage we had planned to La Fouly was just 14 km long. The bus was packed – not only were…
