Tour Du Mont Blanc (Part 7 Final)

This final posting contains following activities:

Day 9 (22 July 2019): Trient of Switzerland to Argentiere, France (Hotel de La Couronne) ... the group crossed from Switzerland and returned to France again;

Day 10 (23 July 2019): Argentiere to Chamonix, France (Hotel La Croix Blanche) ... finally, the group returned to Chamonix, the starting point of the the Tour Du Mont Blanc trekking. As usual, there were two focused groups: one that went up to the pass and descent the mountains by taking a longer route; the other group was taking a direct route to Chamonix. On the same evening, we have a celebration dinner hosted by Mr Pierrick, the trekking agent. The following morning (24 July) at 10:00 a.m., we were then transferred to Geneva railway station for extended stay and holidaying in Switzerland. That concluded the exciting and memorable 170km circuit trekking.
