Still moving from "Refuge de Prati" to Cozzano. The GR20 can be a great experience if you have a good fitness base, the right equipment and if you can, sometimes, take the right decisions. In 2007 three hikers died of hypothermia and two years before a group of people, most of them suffering from hypothermia - some people wearing tennis shoes, - were evacuated by helicopter.
During our trip there was just a small number of hikers walking along the famous high level route, and there was a reason for that. Before we started our trip, we were dissuaded to start the GR20 trekking because of many snow-capped areas making hiking very difficult and dangerous. Later, at the end of our first stage, some french hikers told us that they were blocked for many days in a refuge because of the severe weather. Unfortunately we had no climbing irons and no appropriated sleeping bags. So, before we started, we knew already, that our tent became an useless burden.
That was very demotivating.
