I would research some of the hut routes in the Alpes. At least get comfortable with hiking in big mountains on well known and popular trails. My understanding with lots of the hut trips is you can pack super light because you can stay and eat at all the various alpine lodgings. From there you just start doing more and more solo adventures as your experience grows.
Well, I'd like to keep the costs low, that's why I'm opting for solid gear :D

Sweet. 👍 Get out there and do it. It's a great experience and always makes you appreciate the small comforts of home when you get back. Have fun!
