The Val Ferret is a famous segment on the Tour du Mont Blanc, the legendary hiking trail connecting France, Switzerland and Italy.
Sitting directly beneath Mont Blanc, the valley has unobstructed views of the south glaciers.
And this is where our eight trekkers find themselves tonight. They will have plenty of company. In the summer the area is bustling with mountain bikers, climbers, hikers and golfers. And plain old tourists. In the winter, this is a mecca for winter sports.
They are probably staying someplace like this.
We've enjoyed following along on the adventure (thanks, Amanda, for the morning photo drops.) It sure brightened up a long and cold week in Seattle.
Well. The sun finally burst out of the clouds last night about 9, just as it was setting. What a spectacular sight.
Hoping for some warmer weather this weekend. Enjoy the holiday.
