In the summer of 1967, Giuseppe Lenzi created a documentary titled "Two weeks in Aosta Valley", documenting an excursion between Val Ferret and the high altitudes on the border with Switzerland. Initially accompanied by a friend, Lenzi reached the Fiorio bivouac, where he spent the night after a long day of walking. At dawn, he resumed his journey and, the next day, faced a grueling solo climb to 2,990 meters. The images show the Les Blanches glacier, with its crevasses and the silence of the high mountains, and the small sheet-metal bivouac overlooking the void. The descent towards the Elisabetta hut concludes the sequence, accompanied by the filmmaker's voice-over recounting the fatigue, isolation, and intense experience of the high altitude.
