June 10, 2024,Colle del Gran San Bernardo 2473m I Aostatal 🇮🇹

Until we couldn't go any further in the snow (hotel, souvenir stalls, pass restaurant). We were only 500m away from the pass sign 🤨 meters of snow.

The postcard image of the pass summit was also not accessible ❄, but visible.

27 degrees in Aosta 🌞, icy hands 🥶 at the top, freezing cold wind in the clouds, little visibility.
