Itinerary description

04/19/2024.
After a good and abundant breakfast, we begin this second stage which promises to be long but not difficult. We have to travel about 19km and reach Phu at 4080m, there is only a 500m climb ahead and the altitude is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning.
As we set off and proceed along the valley, we begin to notice that the path proceeds halfway along the valley walls but with continuous ups and downs to go beyond the side valleys that slope down towards the stream below. We stop for lunch about halfway in Kyang at an altitude of 3870m, which reassures us, there is still little climb to go. A look at the GPS before turning it off and I notice that the positive altitude difference made so far is almost 1000m. Well, I think, most of it is done anyway. We continue after lunch with continuous ups and downs along the path which first leads uphill a long way above the stream and then reaches it descending gently but steadily. The positive difference in altitude increases..... We arrive quite tired at a stretch of path that descends again to the stream and then climbs steeply on the opposite side reaching a typical brick entrance portal, our guide says that we will have arrived there. And so we prepare for the last effort not before being overtaken by a column of mules (much more agile than us) until we reach this building from where the view over the valley is marvelous but after turning the corner the path continues for another 1 .5km actually quite flat but with a final short stretch before the longed-for rest. In the end it will be +1740m done this day, but we are at 4080m, my maximum altitude reached so far on the summit of Gran Paradiso. I am very satisfied!
