TMB Val Veny & Aosta Italy Thu 7 Sep

Up at 6.30am. The unexpected upgrade to a private room was fantastic. Breakfast was black coffee, bread, jam and biscuits. Left Refugio Elizabetta (2195 metres) at 8.15am and walked down the scenic Val Veny towards the town Lac Combal. Close to the town Richard left us to catch a bus from Lac Combal to our accomodation at Courmayer so he could rest his feet. Karen, Yvonne and I walked up around 450 metres vertical ascent on a scenic path with views of a number of glaciers on the other side of the Aosta valley. We stopped beside the path for morning tea around 10am. Later after walking across ski runs of the Maison Vieille ski resort we arrived at the Rifugio Maison Vieille (1956 metres).Weiterlesen
