Courmayeur is situated at the foot of the Mont Blanc Massif with stunning views of the mountains in every direction.
After breakfast we took a bus to Skyway Monte Bianca which is a series of cable cars; up 1000m to a pavilion with shops & a restaurant and then up 1500m to Punta Helbronner at 3500m and panaramic views across the mountains in France, Italy and Switzerland. As we were approaching the top we got a brief clear sight of Mont Blanc all too soon concealed again in cloud and mist.
The views are indeed splendid as was the weather and many groups of mountain climbers were viable as ants out on the snow and Yikes!! some on the mountain ridges …….
Rob ventured out onto the snow assisting a couple who wanted their pic taken but I thought it wise not to risk it in my trainers and suspect knees.
Afternoon at leisure … watching Ger playing Mex in Russia ⚽
