After all that climbing and scrambling (the ledge is always wider in real life—just look at my smile at the end of the video), this was the view! (So it was definitely worth all the effort.)

After taking in this view, you’ll walk past Rifugio Elisabetta Soldini (breakfast with coffee!)

Then comes a (once again absolutely beautiful!) valley with small lakes along a long, straight road, after which you’ll turn right and start climbing again to reach this view.

In Courmayeur there is a campground along the route but on the way I heard it was closed.

Next campsite was 3.5 km away (7 in total with the next morning) and I did not receive confirmation of the above until early evening.

A couple from Paris walked by at that moment and told me that they, I had spoken to them earlier during this adventure, were in a hotel 50 meters away and were taking a rest day the next day.

After long deliberation (seconds or 3, no 2), I also called that hotel, had a wonderful bath, and the next day took up half a shred!

To Day 6
