This is what Amanda had to say about her unreal alpine experience.

 

"Tour Du Mont Blanc was a once in a lifetime experience! A 7 day hike through France, Switzerland, and Italy with ~42 hours of hiking, ~20k ft elevation gained (and lost!) and ~50 lbs of local cheese consumed 😉

About 9 months ago, I injured my feet so badly, I could barely walk one block. It was a really hard time and a long road to recovery but with lots of yoga, miracle massage therapy sessions, and many missteps hurting myself again, I got to a place where I could (barely) do this hike. Given I’ve been focused on healing vs training, I really struggled and almost quit the first day - but am super thankful I kept going and am still a little shocked I finished. 💪

This experience is a great reminder that age is just a number — Most people doing this incredibly difficult hike looked to be in their 50s/60s and one guy in our group is 75. It’s never too late to accomplish what you want! 🥳

All that said, my next big hike will be FLAT — Camino De Santiago in Spain anyone? 🤪”
