Setting out on this famous trail to reach the foot of Mont Blanc, stubborn clouds prevented me from seeing Europe's highest peak. But clouds have the quality of magnifying photos, so seeing the peaks will have to wait.

Still no Mont Blanc visible due to the clouds still present on the peaks, but good weather, and beautiful paths around the Col de Véry
