Post summ up by Biel Ràfols https://www.strava.com/routes/3265672904940636918
19 days after getting started on Piz Bernina, dream of climbing all 82 4000 meter peaks of the Alps using only human power to link them together in one push came true on Dôme and Barre des Écrins
Note, that both mapy.cz and mymaps.google.com have their limits. Mapy.cz on number of points, google on size of imported file. If such a case was hit, we manually adjusted the files - for mapy.cz via douglas-peucker compression in GpsPrune and for maps.google.com by conversion to compressed kzm (again via GpsPrune). We left note where we hit/saw an issue. If you encounter an error, please let us know, it is not intentional. If some links have troubles, try to open them in private window.
I’m not sure what first Stage 0, Piz-bernina is about. It was included, but is not calculated in. Maybe it was warm up, maybe it is an erroneous double record.
This is the most incredible reach to the limits of human power. This document is trying to sum it up and to persuade even coach-climbers/runners what the hell that guy did.
Use the links, collapse the sections, and work with the outline. Get best from this summary.
Z těch 4k vrcholu jsem skoro na půlku lezl, byť notnou řádku bez reparátu zapytlil, a některé jsem ani nenašel. Navíc většinu z nich jsem viděl. I horských přeběhů přes 50km (se sedly max 2000m, a součet celkového nášlapu nepřekročil 3000m (většinou anii 2000m, a délkou jen zřídkakdy 100km)) na kontě mám. I nějakého toho horského ironmana jsem zkusil. Tedy mám snad jakouž-takouž představu co tohle může znamenat … a … a přesahuje to veškeré chápání a považuji to za jeden z největších alpských počinů nejen moderní horolezecky-sportovní-uspěchané doby, ale dob všech..
Jak rád bych se s mistrem běžcem potkal, zeptal se ho co jedl, co pil (protože to vypadá, že normalně chodil v chatách na řízek), a jak moc běhá v mačkách, proč nespal na Mischabelhütte, co schovával v tom batůžku za nám neznámé magické předměty….
August 13, 2024· Pontresina, Switzerland
Climbing the 82 4000 meter peaks of the Alps, in 19 days (18 days of activity and a day of rest due to bad weather conditions), using only human power (bike or feet) to link them together.
Official data, provided by Coros: 82 summits, 1207 kilometers, 75344 meters of elevation, 267:45:16 hours of activity and 05:17 average hours of sleep.

1 - August 13, 2024 Pontresina, Switzerland
And we are off!
We took an early start with Philipp to climb Piz Bernina (4048m), the easternmost 4000 meter peak in the Alps, located in the Swiss Engadine valley.
We ran and climbed 29km with 2573m of elevation to the summit round-trip, in great conditions, before getting to the start of the first bike link-up of the adventure.

2 - August 13, 2024 Pontresina, Switzerland
After climbing Piz Bernina in the morning, I cycled more than 210km solo with almost 4000m of elevation through some iconic mountain passes, to reach the next stage of the adventure through my own human power.
After dreaming about this project for a while, it feels so exciting to be on the move!

3 - August 14, 2024 Guttannen, Switzerland
The day started a bit later than expected because of the bad weather. Even though the conditions weren’t perfect, I set off for Lauteraarhorn (4042m) and Schreckhorn (4078m), two summits linked by a ridge, then pushing to Finsteraarhorn (4274m), the highest peak of the Bernese Alps region.
Overall it was not an easy stage with challenging weather. Fortunately, I was able to shelter in a hut and get a few hours of sleep before continuing.
Four 4000m peaks are now done. Looking forward to the next!

4 - August 15, 2024 Fieschertal, Switzerland
Stage 3 was the longest continuous climbing of the project so far.
I departed from Finsteraarhorn Hut after a few hours of sleep and traversed six 4000 meter peaks in 99 kilometers and 7890 meters of elevation: Gross Grünhorn, Hinter Fiescherhorn, Gross Fiescherhorn, Mönch, Jungfrau and finally a long way out to Aletschhorn, in a push that took me 32:30 hours.
I had to be careful as the conditions weren’t always the best, and actually had to change my route to Aletschhorn three times: once because of the rain and twice because of bad glacier conditions.
In totally, I have now climbed ten 4000 meter peaks since the beginning of the project.

“Stage 4 in the project of climbing as many 4000 meter peaks in the Alps as I can, using only my feet or my bike to link them together.
After a good night of rest, I was super happy to share this climb with my friend and talented mountaineer Matheo Jacquemoud, as we set off at 3:30 in the morning to summit Lagginhorn (4010m) through its South Ridge and Weissmies (4017m) in a 8-hours push.
In these moments, I feel so grateful to be surrounded by a team helping me with all the logistics of the project, and experienced friends I can count on for long outings above 4000 meters in not-so perfect weather.
I have now climbed twelve 4000 meter peaks since starting the adventure. Time to recharge the batteries, literally and figuratively!”

8 - August 18, 2024 Saas-Fee, Switzerland
“As it had been raining (and snowing on the summits) the entire afternoon and night before, I left solo at 6:15 in the morning and had another relatively “short” (8:40) day of climbing to make the most out of the conditions.
Still, I am used to this “Norwegian” weather that feels just like home, so I managed to summit Dürrenhorn (4034m), Hohberghorn (4218m), Stecknadelhorn (4239m) and Nadelhorn (4327m). On the way down, I stopped to get some food at the Mischabelhütte and ran down to the valley.
In total, 23 kilometers and 3246 meters of climbing for 4 more summits and a total of 16 4000 meters since starting the adventure.
Stage 5 is done, the weather is getting better and I can’t wait to see what I can do in the coming days!” sixteen 4000 meters up to now.

9 - August 19, 2024 Saas-Fee, Switzerland
“Stage 6 of the Alpine Connections project, aiming to link as many 4000 meter peaks of the Alps as I can, got under way at 6:20 in the morning from Saas-Fe.
I started climbing with Mathéo Jacquemoud, connecting the beautiful peaks of the Mischabel group: Lenzspitze (4294m), Dom (4545m) and Täschhorn (4491m), before being joined at midday by Genís Zapater for Alphubel (4206m), Allalinhorn (4027m), Rimpfischhorn (4199m) and finally Stalhhorn (4190m), ending the long day in the Monte Rosa hut for some well needed rest.
It felt great to see the sun, be in good company, and to add a big day in the mountains to the adventure after dealing with uncertain weather for a bit.
In total, Stage 6 lasted more than 21 hours, with almost 48 kilometers and more than 6000 meters of elevation, adding 7 summits to the project, for a total of 23 peaks of 4000 climbed so far.
If all goes according to the plan, the next stage should be an interesting one!”

10 - August 20, 2024 Zermatt, Switzerland
“After 3 hours of rest in the Monte Rosa hut, I left, solo this time, at 7 in the morning for one of the big days of the project, with 18 summits of 4000 meters and above climbed in a single day.
This traverse is known as the “Spaghetti Tour”, and took me through Nordend, Dufourspitze, Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe, Pointe Parrot, Ludswighöhe, Corno Nero, Pyramide Vincent, Punta Giordani, Lyskamm E, Lyskamm W, Castor, Pollux, Roccia Nera, Breithorn (pointe 4106), Breithorn E, Breithorn central and finally Breithorn W.
The weather was good during the day but the warm and soft snow conditions made me slower than I had originally thought, which in turn made me struggle with the proper water and food intake.
The smoke from the North American fires was clearly visible up in the sky and made for a strange atmosphere at times.
Fortunately the super moon made for good visibility at night, and I managed to finish the stage in 17:45, ending up at the Hörnlihütte at around 1 in the morning for a feast of eggs, soup, quinoa, tortilla, broccoli, peas and cake before crashing down.
I have now climbed a total of 41 peaks of 4000 meters since the beginning of the Alpine Connections project !”

“After some rest in the Hörnlihütte, this new stage started right away with an iconic climb, Matterhorn (4478m), which I had climbed by its North Face the last time I came here (but of course that wasn’t on the menu today!), and in 2:52:02 from the Italian side in 2013.
We were treated by a beautiful sunrise as I departed around 7 in the morning.
I was joined by Mathéo Jacquemoud for Dent d’Hérens (4173m) then Genís Zapater joined us for the long walk to Dent Blanche (4358m) and the descent to Schönbielhütte.
Another long day of more than 18 hours is in the bag and 3 more peaks were climbed today. That brings the total to 44 peaks since the beginning of the Alpine Connections project.”

12 - August 22, 2024 Zermatt, Switzerland
“We stayed only two hours at the Schönbielhütte, and left with Matheo at 5:30 in the morning, for what was maybe the most special stage of the project for me.
It closed a cycle of hard days in Valais that left me quite tired as I’ve climbed on average 19 hours a day for four days in a row now.
But it was also one of the most beautiful, in a very wild region that requires a lot of decision making and navigation difficulties.
During the climb, I was lucky to see a Brocken Spectre, a beautiful reflection phenomenon.
Catching the sunset on Weisshorn, a big, technical and demanding climb but also one of the most aesthetic mountains of the Alps in my opinion, was really special to me and maybe one of the best moments of my life. The tiredness was gone and I was just feeling perfectly in the moment.
Overall, I summited Ober Gabelhorn (4064m) with Matheo, then Zinalrothorn (4221m), Weisshorn (4506m) and Bishorn (4151m) alone, in a new 18:31 push.
Fortunately, my team and my mother were waiting for me to lift my spirits in Zinal, another very special place to me because of our shared history.
I have now climbed 48 peaks above 4000 meters since departing from Piz Bernina.”

“I was happy to meet with Alan Tissieres for the climb to Grand Combins. We were racing together in ski mountaineering a long, long time ago. Now he’s a mountain guide and it was nice to share a few summits with him!
Grand Combins was actually more technical than I expected. It was a very nice climb, but it’s a dangerous mountain because there’s a lot of rockfall and it’s not always easy to navigate, so I was glad not to be solo.
We started towards Combin de Valsorey at sunset and climbed through the night on the glacier to Grand Combin and Combin de la Tsessette, the 49th, 50th and 51st summits of my Alpine Connections project.
After a bit more than 9 hours of climbing, we were back to Bourg Saint-Pierre at around 2:30am.”

“After the Combins traverse, I arrived at 2 in the morning back to Bourg-Saint-Pierre, had a 4 hour sleep and left for an easy day, first cycling about 30k to La Fouly.
On the way, I met Jules-Henri Gabioud, someone I’ve known from racing and ski mountaineering, who joined me on the ride and told me about a shortcut to go to Val Ferret.
The Alps are a big place, but somehow I keep running into people I know!”

18 - August 26, 2024 · Courmayeur, Italy
“I left at midnight from our camping ground in Courmayeur, feeling good and rested, to start the climb to Grandes Jorasses with a great team: Mathéo, Mitch Lanne and Bastien Lardat.
Even though it was the middle of the night, everyone was super happy to be here and to kick off the day in good company!
All of them know the area well and I was glad to have them for the more technical climbs of the day, as the conditions can get a bit tricky in this part of the Alps.
We summited the Grandes Jorasses ridge (Pointe Walker, Pointe Whymper, Pointe Croz, Pointe Elena, Pointe Margherita), then Dôme de Rochefort, Aiguille de Rochefort and finally Dent du Géant, before stopping for a break at Rifugio Torino.
After that, I left the team to go solo to the Refuge du Couvercle where I arrived 18:22 hours later after we started climbing.
With 28 kilometers and 4200 meters of elevation for today, I have now climbed 8 more 4000 meter peaks, bringing the total to 59 since starting the Alpine Connections project.”

“Departing at 4am from Refuge du Couvercle, I summited Aiguille Verte, Grande Rocheuse, Aiguille du Jardin and Les Droites in a 17 hours push for 24 kilometers and 3470 meters of elevation in quite technical climbing.
This brings the total to 63 summits so far in the Alpine Connections project.
I was glad to join the team, friends and family at Rifugio Torino to debrief such a big day and start planning the rest of the adventure”.

20 - August 28, 2024· Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
“We started the day at 4:45 with Matheo and Noa on the Diable ridge, one of the most beautiful rock climbs I’ve ever done, both very technical and aesthetic.
This took us through Corne du Diable, Pointe Chaubert, Pointe Médiane, Pointe Carmen and L’Isolée.
We pushed on towards Mont Blanc with the summits of Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit, Mont Blanc, Dôme du Goûter and Aiguille de Bionassay, where Matheo and Noa left.
I continued on solo, went back on the summit of Mont Blanc a second time on my way back, then down on the Brouillard ridge (Monte Bianco de Courmayeur, Picco Luigi Amadeo, Mont Brouillard and Punta Baretti) with an amazing sunset in the background, a moment that I will remember forever.
This took me around 20 hours in total. I stopped at the bivouac Eccles for around 4 hours, waiting for better conditions.”

One very big day in the books, with 16 new 4000 meter summits, almost 41 kilometers with 5000 meters of climb, in 29 hours and 25 minutes (not including the 4 hours sleeping at Eccles).
This now bring the total to 79 summits climbed in the Alpine Connections project. Let’s see what the next few days will bring!”

“Together with trail runner Henry Aymond and ski mountaineering world champion Emily Harrop, we climbed Gran Paradiso, the 80th 4000 meters peak of this journey in only 4 hours.
Gran Paradiso is definitely less technical that the sections I encountered in the Mont Blanc massif in the last stages, which allowed for a quick ascent and descent.”

26 - August 31, 2024 Vallouise-Pelvoux, France
“19 days after getting started on Piz Bernina, my dream of climbing all 82 4000 meter peaks of the Alps using only human power to link them together came true on Dôme and Barre des Écrins, the westernmost of them all, with Mathéo Jacquemoud and Benjamin Védrines.
This was, without any doubt, the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life, mentally, physically, and technically, but also maybe the most beautiful.
It’s difficult to process all my emotions just now, but this is a journey that I will never forget.
It’s time to rest for a bit now!”

..pro srovnání
Má nejmilejší tréninková trasa byla na kole na praděd, Vyrazit z Brna, odplavat v blansku 4km, na kole až na vršek Pradědu. A pak běh na keprník nebo 2x na Skřítka (nikdy jsem ho podruhé nedal až dolů)
Start 6:00 brno, 7:30 blansko, 9:00 odplaváno, zase kolo a 21:00 praděd a cca v 1:00 rano spat.. a spat.. Spáááát tak 24h….. I s pauzama to celé bývalo kolem 19h (+- hodně) a 3700m nahoru. S kaloriema netuším, ale to plavání jich i v Srpnu vezme hodně:
Oba běhy jsou vzdáleností i převýšením srovnatelné, jen na skřítka se líp nechává baťůžek s vodou na Vysoké holi.
V porovnání s Bourgadovou Alpine Connections to je nic, plivanec… a přitom to vůbec není prdel a trvalo mi 5 let než jsem natrénoval na první pokus

Za zmínku stojí že mi manželka taky dělala base-camp… Poprvé jsme se potkali až na Hradě Sovinec… Vodu jsem kradl, polívku a občas kafe jsem párkrát vyžebral. Jindy jsme se sice potkali v Jedovnicích, ale prozměnu potom až na Pradědu. Jo to mi tehdá i odvezla náhradní trenky, a z Hvězdy na Ovčárnu jsem 30s běžel vedle kola, 30s jel, protože prdel fakt nedávala… Myslím, že když je natrénováno tak jsou ty slavný cukříky přeceňované (nebrat vážně… ½ ironman bez podpůrných cukříků jde, ale plného normální, byť trénovaný, metabolismus bez pomoci - podle mě - nedá).
Ještě se musím přiznat, že jsem jednou ten běh zrušil, protože začalo sněžit (konec srpna), a běžel jsem to až ráno. A šílenec Burgada přeběhl nonstop v marastu největší ledovcová pole Evropy…. Ne že bych se doteď nějak extra styděl, ale asi ani nezačnu. Poznámka pro hnidopichy - vždy to bylo plánováno tak abych běžel kolem úplňku a bylo světlo.
Burgada je o 4 roky mladší než já. Posledního Ironmana jsem dokončil před šesti lety. Mistr Burgada váží 50kilo i s batohem, já měl při posledních Ironmanech 100kg… Třeba, kdyby…. Pořád někde hledám srovnání, ale ne, není tam. Alpine connections, 82 4k vrcholů za 19 dní, je nepředstavitelný výkon který zůstane velmi dlouho, možná navěky nepřekonaný.
