Departure from Ayas (Aosta Valley)
Another long day on this stage. The descent to Saint-Jacques-les-Allemands is long. A stop at the Grand Tourmalin refuge is a welcome break. Especially if the weather is glorious with views of the Swiss Alps and Monte Rosa. It’s all worth it. There are slightly more water issues than in the southern section. So don’t forget your water.
