[pct-l] international trails

[Craig Stanton]

There is a short-ish (10 days) one that goes between France, Italy,  
Switzerland and then back to France again thourhg beautiful alpine  
scenery. You can camp out the whole way if you want but there are  
huts and chalets too. It's called the Tour du Mont Blanc and it's my  
favourite, because it's my first decent hike and lead me on to the  
PCT. If you're interested I wrote three journal entries about it  
starting here
