September 6, 2024,Prima tappa da Estoul al rifugio ARP

First stage of the 5-day trek with friends from UOEI of Bergamo. Route that starts from Estoul in Val d'Ayas and arrives, through various refuges, in Valtournenche to the blue lake near Cervinia.

Classic excursion to the Palasina lakes or rather I correct myself at the Battaglia lake, the first, the biggest, for the others it would have taken another little effort, even if the road was quite beautiful and not so steep, after a good wash with rain and hail that's enough for today.

The area is full of lakes. From the less accessible Lago Verde, the lesser known Valfredda Lakes to the better known Palasinaz. The ARP refuge is welcoming and run by very kind young people. Beautiful walk even with 4-legged friends
