LA TOURNETTE 2023
In this new episode, Andolini and his irresistible companion BritishTwunk take you to the heart of an adventure as intense as it is dizzying: the ascent of La Tournette, a mythical hike rated 4/5, where every step brings you closer to the summit... and closer to your own limits.
From the very first meters, the view is of the sparkling waters of Lake Annecy, a grandiose backdrop that sets the tone. But very quickly, the atmosphere changes. The sky closes in, clouds envelop the bodies, and the climb becomes more intimate, almost confidential. Under the incipient rain, they find refuge for a few moments... a suspended pause where glances linger and excitement rises as much as the altitude.
But Andolini and BritishTwunk are not the type to give up. Carried along by their raw energy, they set off again, despite the wind and the raging elements. Every gust, every drop of rain makes the experience more intense, more vibrant. The effort brings them closer together, the sensations amplified.
Then comes the summit. Brutal, powerful... almost unreal.
The descent, on the other hand, takes place in a transformed setting, between burgeoning torrents and rediscovered light. And like an unexpected reward, the mountain softens as we approach the Refuge des Pechés, bathed in an almost complicit sunshine.
An adventure where nature and emotions mingle without restraint.
