Rifugio Elena and Glacier View

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

quite pedalable climb with a MTB, if with an e-MTB then it is very easy. Wide and unexposed road, dirt road without particular roughness

Rifugio Elena

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Elena refuge is a nice stopover refuge on the TMB at an altitude of 2,062 m, perfect for a short break before tackling the ascent of the Grand Col Ferret. It faces the thousand-year-old Pré de Bard glacier. It is named after the granddaughter of a local shepherd.

The bike is working again, yesterday's chain break is almost forgotten 😋 However, I couldn't reach the pass through a beautiful valley due to too much snow ❄️❄️ everything was super easy up to my turning point.
In the afternoon, I went shopping in Courmayeur, we almost ran out of beer last night... because of the chain break 😂

Historic valley under Mont Blanc, too many cars would be perfect if closed to motor traffic, however to do absolutely and get lost in the view of the highest peaks in Europe. All pedaled, relaxing and fun
