    Haute Route Day 3: Montfort - Pra Fleuri

    Early start with long climb to Col de la Chaux (2940m) before short descent to Lac du Petit Montfort. Superb views of Grand Combin to the south. Long climb to Rosablanche via Col du Momin. View from the top (3336m) was nothing short of amazing: first views of Matterhorn and surrounding peaks - Mt Blanc once again visible to the west. This was followed by a really nice ski down the Pra Fleuri glacier to the Pra Fleuri refuge (2657m) for our first early (12:00-ish) finish of the tour. Enjoyed the sun and kipped in the afternoon.
