This stage was no piece of cake, especially after completing the first day on the GR20.

We started hiking at around 06:30…

… my legs were already scrambled during the climb and I felt a bit demotivated, as everyone else seemed fitter, faster, and was surpassing us going uphill.

However, as soon as we reached the top, these feelings quickly got replaced by goosebumps.

The huge and rugged mountains of the GR20 were magnificent, and the excitement gave us an extra push to tackle the ridge walk.

The final descent to Refuge de Carrozzu was the worse part of the stage. The terrain was very rocky and stones felt loose under our feet, our bodies started to feel tired…

… the refuge seemed to never approach.
