TMB to Courmayeur Italy Thu 7 Sep 2023

We arrived at the Rifugio-Restaurante Maison Vieille around 12.45pm and had a long lunch. After lunch we walked through the Maison Vieille ski resort followed by a steep foot track descent to Dolonne in the Aosta valley. At the bottom Yvonne swapped her boots for thongs due to blisters. The marked TMB route through the town of Dolonne highlighted beautiful historic buildings and streets. When we reached Courmayeur (1224metres) across the river Yvonne purchased band aids for her toes at a chemist before we reached our accomodation. Yvonne and I had our own room in the Hotel Edelweiss Courmayeur. Richard who arrived earlier organised for our laundry to be washed and dried. Using the hotel wi-fi I contacted my data sim provider who responded with instructions which Karen could understand and get my phone data working. This required overwriting my phone’s APN. This is the Access Point Name of each SIM card provider to unlock the network connection. We had dinner at a restaurant in the town afterwards before returning to the Hotel Edelweiss Courmayeur.Read more
