the lower hill to the bottom right in the second picture, facing Mont Blanc, covered in snow with the mellower profile - I pushed/rode my bike up that earlier this summer

Here was the view from it

Here was the descent at the end. Began with steep switchbacks,

Then to a ridge descent I didn't photograph

Then to this traverse (mostly carrying but some beautiful bits), some vicious stream and snow crossings

Then down the most beautiful gully and singletrack through the woods to Courmayeur

Summer highlight. Funny to see it now covered in snow - I remember back in June checking in every week to see how it was melting....
