Resorts: Courmayeur

Technical Information

Route

The departure point for this trail is the Bonatti refuge.
You can get to the refuge by taking Altavia 2 from Courmayeur, or go up route 28, which starts on the right side of the Val Ferret road after going past Lavachey (about 1 km after the houses, just before the Malatrà stream).
From the refuge go up the Malatrà valley on the orographic left bank of the stream, until you reach the pasture of Malatrà Inferiore and then the pasture of Malatrà Superiore. Shortly afterwards, cross a small bridge that takes you to the orographic right side and go up to Giué Damon pasture, from where you cross a wide plateau alongside the stream, and then go up the hillside debris until you come to Col de Malatrà.
