Hey, thanks for the response. I agree, the views usually make it all worth it, the effort, the heat, everything! I'm hoping I'm able to visit my home country this Summer and do some alpine hiking as well.
7 km/h is a pretty fast pace when walking, I can see why it's not the same going uphill

in mountains I calculate 3,5km/h as rule of thumb, including short breaks for refreshments / rest
this last trip, 35km, 12:20hrs, out of which 30+25+15 minutes were longer stops that I cared to measure. So it makes 11:10hrs and we come close to my 3,5km/h average
