Another trip to Italy for lunch, this time under the mountain. We took the bus to Courmayeur, cable car up to the aid station rifugio and had a gorgeous hike up. I ran down and did some moderate hills.





Next up, lunch at the family-owned restaurant suggested by Meg-eh back in 2013, and the best gelato ever.

Hike from Brevent. Did a little running up and down too.
See Bash’s log for pics.



Nice dinner by the river.

We took the cable cars up to the Aiguille du Midi at 3800m for some thin-air acclimation.



For the first time we’ve been up here, it was totally clear and dead calm and the Panorama cable car to Italy was running, so we decided to take it.

Great decision- it was absolutely spectacular.

We had lunch in the Rifugio Torino, which was in thick cloud, but the way back was clear again. We hiked a bit from the mid-station, before the trip back down.

Made it to Chamonix. Pics in Bash’s log.
Despite a jet-lag headache, we managed to stay up and tour the town, procure the requisite wine, cheese, coffee and croissants.
Also tartiflette for dinner- death by cheese.

Easy jog to work with the big boy. Transported a MegaZucchini for a staff member to turn into loaf.

Commute with AD. Ran into the elusive BGY on the trail!
