170km and 10,000m of ascent in 8 days
This
was the natural continuation of the Matterhorn Ultraks. Zermatt is
not that far away from Chamonix, and the TMB has been in my bucket
list for a while. Now it felt the right moment to go for it.
Thinking
the route would have been packed with people (as it was indeed) we
booked the sleeping places in advance, so that we had no alternative
but to reach the destination every day. At first we thought we were
too optimistic doing it in 8 days, but we had great weather and felt
good all the time, so that it can probably be done in 7 or even 6
days (the UTMB runners would do it in within 21 to 44 hours...)
