July 22, 2022,Velotour Tag 12: Martigny - Col de Forclaz - Charmonix Mont Blanc - Passy

Today we first went from Martigny directly up the 13 km to the Col de Forclaz. From there on to Charmonix with the gigantic view of Mont Blanc and the glacier. The day ended with a very nice accommodation at Passy.
