We had a wonderful day with perfect weather. It was about 32 f/0 c when we woke up.
By the time we checked out and drove up the road to the trailhead for our hike it was around 50 f. We hiked on the trail to Lac de La Douche. We decided to only go up the trail about 2 miles and then turn around.
The trail wasn’t steep but it was constantly up and we did about 860 feet of elevation gain. It was a practically perfect hike.
After our hike we drove into Italy to the Acosta Valley just south of the Matterhorn where we are staying at the Parc Hotel Billia. The drive took just under 3 hours. We checked out the hotel casino, broke even and had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant.
