The GPX track shows the Tour del Gran Paradiso as a Single Push thereby not passing the Chabod and the Pontese Hut. I did the Tour del Gran Paradiso twice as single push. In 2017 I was able to complete the Tour together with Tanja Schmitt and Matthias Scherer in 19h06min. The Tour del Gran Paradiso is usually done as a five day ski traverse in the Aosta valley. It includes the ascent of the Gran Paradiso (4061m) and combines outstanding views with excellent skiing in a national park. The huts offer outstanding service combined with the typical Italian hospitality.
