Tour de Mont Blanc, Day 5: Rifugio Bertone to Rifugio Bonatti (via Mont de la Saxe option)


Distance: ?
Time: 6 hours
Cost: 48 euros (room and board at Rifugio Bonatti)

On our fifth day on the Tour de Mont Blanc, we took one of the optional routes and gained an extra 500m of elevation so that we could take in an amazing panoramic view from Tête de la Tranche of the south wall of the Mont Blanc range from Col de la Seigne to the Grand Col Ferret.


We stayed the night at Rifugio Bonatti which had a spectacular and relatively close-up view of the mountains across the valley. They served us a humongous dinner of salad, soup with cheese and croutons, meatballs with peppers, mashed potatoes and chocolate tart.
