Hiking Trient to Champex --Day 3

Whew!  What a day.  This hike was a real challenge.  Although the hike was only 9 miles but the 4500 feet in elevation gain and 3900 feet on loss over loose rock and boulders reminded us that we are no longer in our 20s.

The views at the Fenetre d'Arpette  (window) at the summit (8750 feet) were astounding.   We enjoyed an Aperol spritzer at a the Relais d'Arpette on our way to our hotel at Lac Champex -- replete with pool and sauna.

Here are some photos and a link to others.
