Itinerary: Day 6 (19 July 2019) Val Ferret, Italy to La Fouly, Switzerland (Mayajoie Inn) ... Crossing from Italy to Switzerland.
From Refuge Bonatti, we first trekked up the mountain, then descended to a car park (accessible by road) where the van transporter was waiting to exchange our lunch packs.
While we continued our trekking, the Transport Director would then waited for the arrival of mules for the transfer of duffle bags from Refuge Bonatti. Later, the duffle bags were then transferred to the next accommodation by the van transporter.

The ascent led us to cross a pass which is the border between Italy and Switzerland. Yeah! We were trekking in Switzerland! We have been using Euro currency for the past few days, that was the time we started to use Swiss Franc.
Mayajoie Inn was a nice and comfortable accommodation to stay. Located on a slope, it has a good view overlooking the ice-capped mountain and the stream below.

In this region, fountain water is drinkable directly from source; we saved quite a fair bit of money not having to buy bottled water
