Even the morning started not optimally - I missed the 05h40 train to Bern so I had to stress to Bern Mainstation on the road by bike, just 9km in 18 minutes. Nevertheless, it was one of the nicest ride of my life.
Here the ride of the first day:
Sunday, 23th of August 2009; 8h30 Martigny....
First picture after the good monring Coffee
Tree on the church...
Just follow the street....
Orsières: Intelligent people would start from here, the final train station.
On track of Napoleon...
One of the aeration of the Grand St-Bernhard Tunel
On the way up...
Arriving... first milestone!
Looking towards Italy
The border
Italy...
The alternative to the road: A must for people with one more day time....
... if one's ready to by pass some information.
For the ones who want to walk up to the pass.
Arriving at the "end" of the Val di Aosta... with lot's of front wind
Starting to search for an hotel...
Good, friendly, clean, very affordable....
The end of a looong day with a large smile...
