Le Chable - Day 1

Hit our first obstacle on the trip today. Our original plan was to cover 2 stages in one day but after hiking the first stage (6 hours from Trient to Champex and 700+ meters in altitude gained), we realized that finishing the next leg (stage 4) would get us into our final destination close to 8pm. With a storm on the horizon and a 1600+ meter climb tomorrow, we opted to catch a bus and then a train to Chable.

We found a nice, clean hotel, ate a hearty dinner, had a nightcap and called it a night.

Having a great time but looks like rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week.

  1. Hope the forecast is wrong and the rain won't be too bad. Sunny days are so much better for the photography!
