Refuge de Miage to Refuge de la Balme

So from Miage we climbed up and then a long forested walk down to Las Contamines where we had a coffee. Then a long hike up to De la Balme, a lovely refuge with hot showers and omelets and blueberry pie.

We also met a fellow hiker, Jane from Taiwan and Australia and learned 2 new card games, “long dragon” and “heart attack”.
