THE FOOT OF GRAN PARADISO












Fabulous clarity of air today for another walk in the Gran Paradiso National Park. I took a wander up to the Refugio F.  Chabod which sits below the stunning face of Gran Paradiso,  the only 4000m peak which lies entire in Italy.  I wasn't alone on the path up. Plenty of climbers making their way up and down to  the refugio.  No cablecars here, thankfully.  I found peace and solitude beyond the hut and up on the moraines.  Perfect temperatures again today. A cool morning with some cloud building up over the summits by mid afternoon.
