We left Vieux Crest very late, at about ten, to rifugio Grand Tournalin it is only a four-hour walk, but also a 1100m climb. Once again it was terribly hot and I sweated like mad on the first stretch to St. Jacques. I wouldn't walk it again, it is ugly, lots of ups and downs mostly on skiing trails, dirt road and also close to ski lifts and stuff like that. When we arrived at St. Jacques we stopped at a bar and drank half a litre of "Apfelsaftschorle" (apple juice and mineral water, succo di mela se acqua gasata). It was so hot and I had a terrible longing for that drink. The second part of the walk was much nicer and after Alpe di Nana Bassa, the path turned beautiful again. Loads of people were about again today, most of then were coming down from lunch at Grand Tournalin. We arrived just in time, shortly before it started to rain very hard, there was also a thunderstorm, but wasn't directly here, but nearby. Then the sun came out again and it was hot, we played scopa outside because it was so hot inside (because of the big glass windows).
