Rifugio Elena

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Elena refuge is a nice stopover refuge on the TMB at an altitude of 2,062 m, perfect for a short break before tackling the ascent of the Grand Col Ferret. It faces the thousand-year-old Pré de Bard glacier. It is named after the granddaughter of a local shepherd.

Rifugio Elena and Glacier View

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

quite pedalable climb with a MTB, if with an e-MTB then it is very easy. Wide and unexposed road, dirt road without particular roughness

June 1, 2026,Val Ferret & Einkaufen in Courmayeur

The bike is working again, yesterday's chain break is almost forgotten 😋 However, I couldn't reach the pass through a beautiful valley due to too much snow ❄️❄️ everything was super easy up to my turning point.
In the afternoon, I went shopping in Courmayeur, we almost ran out of beer last night... because of the chain break 😂
