This one I had no real idea what to expect, and neither did anyone else on the trip. This was a small part of what Matthew was going to be doing on his upcoming tour de Mont Blanc challenge.

This particular section is the Col De Ferret, which took us from Switzerland into Italy, skirting Mont Blanc in the process.

Everything about this route was next level amazing!
