What goes up....


... must eventually come down again. In the early morning the lake greets my with chilling serenity.

Stage 21: Col Grand St Bernard to Aosta (36,88 km) 



Down the pass I walk along the road, light traffic, but the steep incline is killing my quads.


Eventually, the valley eases out a bit


while I pass through villages that seem almost forgotten after the construction of the tunnel.


It gets considerably warmer as I am losing altitude.



Aosta city greets me with more beautiful mountain views, small streets and a contrast in accommodation, a  hotel at the autoport, a rest stop on the highway within a shopping mall. Dinner is cheese, salume and  beer from the supermarket.
