My first, significantly longer stage is less spectacular in terms of scenery than the second day, but on average it goes a little faster because there are basically no technical difficulties here. I skipped the Brocken summit due to time constraints; my last "ascent" wasn't that long ago.

This short (half-day) stage has a relatively high pass for the Cape Wrath Trail with the Bealach Coire Mhàlagain, which can be climbed without a path, but navigation is not a real problem even in bad weather due to the clearly visible trail on the pass. Even the pathless descent into the Coire Caol valley

This section was difficult for me to assess when planning due to the pathless ascent passage from the River Carnach up to the trail that leads to the pass Mam Unndalain and the wet meadows along the Carnach River. The Pathless Passage turned out to be not so pathless after all, there is a small trail

On this stage I had to deal with quite bad weather, otherwise I might have gone a little further, the River Carnach is very good for camping. But Sourlies Bothy is a very nice place to sleep.
About the stage: At the two passes there is plenty of boggy terrain with no recognizable paths, but navigation

This first stage of my CWT tour was not unsportsmanlike in terms of distance at 40 km, but the condition of the trail is mostly good to very good, the incline and technical demands are limited and the bog factor is only at the Bealach Allt na Cruaiche slightly increased.
There are varied highlights on

The course of this stage was clear from the start, only the question of the overnight stay was not 100% clarified until the end. From the end it was Thorong Phedi, on the one hand because of the increasingly dark weather and on the other hand because of the significantly lower altitude compared to Thorong

This stage was probably the one I agonized over the most. On the one hand, I absolutely wanted to build in the Tilicho Lake, on the other hand, I saw time difficulties in doing so, because 2-3 days are usually used for the detour.
Basically, it was clear to me that the Tilicho tour would mean good acclimatization

This short stage gave me some relaxation compared to the two days before. For a short time I considered going on to the Tilicho Base Camp (4150 m), but that would have increased my sleeping altitude significantly more than the targeted 500 m per day, and the Landslide area in front of the Base Camp will

My goal on this again very long stage was to gain altitude quickly. With Upper Pisang at an altitude of 3300 meters, I worked out my first overnight stay here for active altitude adjustment.
The vegetation of this stage is increasingly dominated by conifers, and the oppressive heat of the previous day

My first stage turned out to be significantly longer than planned, but in view of my tight schedule it was worth it. All in all an insane section, the start is in oppressive subtopic air between banana plantations, gradually these change to rice fields, deciduous and mixed forests and finally more and

To catch my midday bus in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, I climbed in complete darkness to the unforested ridge and the Tête de la Lave (2375 m), where I was able to admire a beautiful sunrise. The trail, which mostly meanders on the south side near the ridge in the direction of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, offers a

After a short climb to Lac Vert you pass the Refuge de Valmasque, then the other two lakes Lac Noir (see highlight) and Lac du Basto. At the southern end of the Lac du Basto you now follow the GR 52 over the two high passes Baisse du Basto (technically unproblematic) and after passing the Refuge de Nice

A technically undemanding tour. The ascent from Tende leads past the imposing Rochers des Saint-Sauveur rocks with a spectacularly situated chapel; a detour is conceivable. After reaching the pass Baisse d'Ourne (2039 m) you have a view of the main peaks in the west. The short pathless ascent to Mont

My second stage was much more scenic thanks to the Bodetal as the crowning conclusion, and the variant over the Titan RT suspension bridge with the associated hustle and bustle of tourists is also a nice change. Through the Bodetal, the trail ends up being a little more natural than most of the rest of the Hexenstieg.
