This route has been a dream of mine since I first heard about it a few years ago. It wasn't important for me to do it in under 10 days or as fast as possible, instead I was driven to turn a dream into reality - walking home from Montreux. I planned everything from my calorie intake to my daily mileage and my resupply points. It turned out to be harder, more impressive, and fulfilling than I had ever thought it would be.
