Day 3: Stuck in the rain

Today we took a bus from Villeneuve to Courmayeur and another one to Entrèves at 1370 m. From there a lift took us to the Torino Hut on 3371 m – 2000 m altitude difference in 15 minutes!

We were supposed to do some exercises on the glacier today, but it started to rain so we stayed in the hut for some theory. Hoping for better weather tomorrow to climb to Tête d’Entrèves at 3551 m.

Aldo and Philipp are playing chess now. We’ll get dinner in half an hour. Think I’ll have some red whine with the dinner. No TV here to watch the Euro final. Anyway, we’ll support the locals – forza Italia!
