 Previously on the Tour de Mont Blanc series, we reached the highest point of our Tour de Mont Blanc trail at the TMB variation of Gaulde Four. We crossed the border of France to Italy on our longest days of our tour to reach Cormayeur for our first night in Italy. After that we had a short day towards Refugio Bertone where we ran into some very bad weather, but we made it safely to the hut. In 10 episodes we will take you around the Mont Blanc massif through France, Italy and Switzerland. This is the Tour de Mont Blanc. Good morning! Good morning! Today we woke up at Refugio Bertone in Italy because yesterday we hiked from Cormayeur to here and in Cormayeur, the nice Italian city, we had a big pizza, right? Yeah, the pizza was very great. It was a short day yesterday and in the end just before we arrived we encountered some thunder. Yeah, yeah. It was like a huge thunderstorm, but luckily right before the thunder we met a mountain guide and he told us what we have to do with the thunder, but luckily we already knew all the information, so that was like a comforting knowledge. So when we arrived at the hut, like the real rain and real thunder started, so... It was the perfect timing for us. Today we have a pretty, pretty long day again, a little bit similar like the day, not yesterday, but the day before that, two Cormayeur and today we're crossing the border of Italy as Switzerland. The first part of the trail is pretty flat, like the first 13 kilometers and in the end we have a big mountain pass and we hope that the weather will be staying like this. Because in really good conditions, this stage promises to be one of the highlights of the Tour de Mont Blanc, so we hope that our view will be good, but well, let's see and pray to the weather gods. Well, change of plans. When we were like on the balcony walking, it was like good weather, but some dark clouds kept rolling in and just when we arrived at the bottom, you could hear the first thunder, so we were very lucky and just in time here in the valley. Yeah, and luckily we found some shelter where we had a good cup of coffee and we were considering reconsidering our plans. Because like our original plan was to go over and we had two other options, like two refugees, but they were all fully booked, so no option to go over. So luckily we have a trail angel with us. My little brother is in Chamonix actually, so he's picking us up on this side and then brings us to the other side of the mountain where we have our hut. Very lucky. Thanks for saving our lives. Yeah, you're welcome. Nice to meet you. Thanks bro. Good luck with the hike. Bye. See you soon. See you. Ciao. We safely arrived at our hut thanks to my brother Chris and we celebrated it with a local drink. We later heard that a lot of hikers ran into very bad weather at the top and had to hide from a big thunder and hillstorm. We knew we made the right and safe decision to not go over the pass to Switzerland. On the next episode of the Tour de Mont Blanc series, it's our first day in beautiful Switzerland and we meet some amazing people. I give you some cards. We are walking through some typical Swiss mountain villages and make our way to Champs-Peylac.
