Tour des Combins Day 6 - I looked at maps and picked a longer, higher route back to Bourg-Saint-Pierre from Saint Rhemy to complete our , the rest of the crew took the more standard TDC route over Saint Bernard pass. 

My route ascended a ski area directly above our Saint Rhemy hotel going over Mont Bortsalet (8209') to a remote feeling high basin to Col de Saint Rhemy. From there I descended towards Saint Bernard pass before heading up and over Tête de Fonteinte Sud to the stunning Lacs de Fenêtre basin--a high basin with three large lakes with a commanding view of the Mont Blanc massif. 

I passed over two more cols before dropping into the La Goulle de Dragon basin and back down to the Lac de Toules Dam and Bourg-Saint-Pierre. It was an incredible route with great views nearly the entire time. Wrapping up the TDC was bittersweet. It was an awesome experience spending the week high in these mountains on this cool loop.
