Itinerary description

Reaching Pont at the end of the valley where there is big carpark, a restaurant, a hotel and a bar, we parked and go, following the signs for the Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele II where we planned to go for a nice walk in this wonderful quiet place.
From the very beginning there was a good amount of snow, we started to walk in the path along the river, then after 1,2 km we crossed a bridge and from this point we were in the forest, at km 2,5 of my path there were no more trees and we could enjoy the wide wonderful valleys around us, more or less at this point we placed our crampons to go on, till the Rifugio that in winter is closed but in case of need there is the winter one just 50 mt to the main Rifugio where it has bunk beds and an old strove to burn some wood and cook something, we anyway had our lunch out in the sun, with a wonderful view.
The way up it was quite warm, i can't imagine how this could be in summer.
The way down for the same path.
