TMB Day 7 - La Fouly to Champex

TMB Day 7 - La Fouly to Champex.
Word for the day - Relaxed.

Woke to light rain but knowing that we had a short day, we took our time with breakfast and set off at 10 am.  By this time the rain had stopped and we had a very pleasant day stopping for lunch in Issert and arriving in Champex by mid afternoon.  Most of the day was spent walking the valley next to a river with a final 1.5 hour ascent to Champex - lovely village on a mountain lake.  We are at Hotel du Glacier and having a beer with the Irish lads at the Alpin Club Bar and restaurant. Updating the blog and adding photos has been a real challenge!
Some steep sections had chains as aids

Lovely Swiss hamlet of Les Arlaches

The TMB trail was mostly always well-marked
