Itinerary description

go with your car all the way up strada del villair, there's a parking lot at the end (i didn't park there cause it was already full). than follow the signs to rifugio Breton.
the climbing part to the rifugio is not easy but there are very nice views.
the rifugio is rather expensive, but the Mont-Blanc view with the beach-chairs is just amazing.
than if you want to get the best view ever, you need to continue climbing the trail that leads to testa Bernarda. this part is really tough, but within 30 min you should be up.
unfortunately i couldn't continue to testa bernarda because it was pretty hot that day and at this hight there we're no trees and therefore no shade, and i was afraid that my dog will get a heatstroke.
i went back down the same way going up.
