Gran Paradiso - Day 9

Today's leg brought us from Rifugio Vittorio Sella (2584 m) to Rifugio Chabod (2750 m).

Not far from Rifugio Vittorio Sella we observed a couple of marmots for a while.

























From the rifugio we followed Alta Via 2 della Valle d'Aoste which brought us via Col Lauson (3296 m) to Valsavranche.





































On the way down we could again see some ibexes from a very short distance.













The route led us to Giacchio di Gran Neyron which has retreated quite a lot.




















Having passed the moraines of the glacier our way became increasingly steep and even required us to manage a short Via Ferrata with ladders and iron pins.
