Having had the rest day was apparently enough for the body to believe that it was all over so getting moving again in the morning was harder than expected.
But away we went and we started off with a steep ascent to Rifugio Bertone at 1970 meters, overlooking Courmayeur. As the day was to be a short one we stayed here for a while, just relaxing and enjoying the view. Continuing on we followed a balcony path facing the Mont Blanc range, but today unfortunately the clouds were hanging quite low, preventing any chance of getting a decent shot.
A quick lunch break later we continued on, now with the occasional drizzle. It was a lot of on and off so it was hard for us to figure out whether to put on or take off our water proofs. I think most of us ended up putting it on and taking it off 2-3 times before arriving at our destination.
At app. 1430 we arrived at today’s destination, Rifugio Bonatti, a huge gite overlooking the Italian Val Ferret.
Now we’re just killing time, playing some games and hoping that the clouds will clear so some decent shots can be taken. Please?

a-HA! Danish influence!
The Mont Blanc tunnel. We found out that for 16 euros you could take a bus and go through and end in Chamonix in 40 minutes.
Lunch break.
The dorms. It all seemed very new and nice.
