| Quite a view from the top |
This morning we started bright and early (6.00am) an headed to the High Susa Valley, direction Exilles, Rochemolles. Past the Scarfiotti Refuge, we still went a bit further on in our cars, then we started the steep ascent towards the Fourneaux Pass (3139m). After reaching the Pass, we bore right, and still up, to pass the Galambra hut then further on to the Vallonetto Bivouac (3212m).

The day was mostly overcast with foggy patches - I guess we would have had spectacular views otherwise!

There was quite a few people there, and we went up with a bunch of friends, for the bivouac (a tiny hole, really) has just been repaired and has been entitled to a fellow mountaineer who perished on his beloved mountains. I didn't know him personally, but a few of my own friends did, so we thought it was a nice excuse to take a walk...
I obviously ended up with a splitting headache, as per usual when I make a great effort... these mountains are really quite too steep for my likings, for I prefer some milder uphills. Still, I had a nice time, like always when I finally manage to get these feet moving! :-)
