Hiking Jocelyn Hill – a day of wonder!

Luckily we had picked a date and actually made it work! My friend Christina and I decided to just hike into one direction not a loop trail. And what an amazing hike that was! We took 2 cars and left one at the Mt. Work parking lot which was easier said than done. It beingContinue reading “Hiking Jocelyn Hill – a day of wonder!”

Day 28: Rifugio Sommariva to Forno di Zoldo – 8km

All morning it was pouring rain! It was supposed to get a little better around noon. There were 3 girls heading out into the valley around 8:30 while it was just terrible and our roommate Svenja took on the big, long, challenge over a difficult “Joch” around 8:00. The only hikers left at the RifugioContinue reading “Day 28: Rifugio Sommariva to Forno di Zoldo – 8km”

Day 27: Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Sommariva al Pramperet – 14km

Today was supposed to be a rainy day. Big surprise in the morning when there was sun and some blue skies visible. Still the afternoon was going to be wet and thunderstorms would be very likely. I managed to leave at 8:00am and later I was so glad I did! The first 2km went alongContinue reading “Day 27: Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Sommariva al Pramperet – 14km”

Day 26: Rifugio Vazzoler to Rifugio Carestiato – 11km

Left at 8:30am with another beautiful day ahead, about 4.5 hours if I didn’t stop which of course is not going to happen! And today I decided I was going to write as I go. That might make it less of a chore at the end of the day and more in the moment. BecauseContinue reading “Day 26: Rifugio Vazzoler to Rifugio Carestiato – 11km”

Day 25: Rifugio Tissi to Rifugio Vazzoler – 10km

In the morning I couldn’t get out of my uncomfortable bed (too hard and finally warm) so I missed breakfast, until 8:00am! As I didn’t have far to go I had lots of time. Had a cappuccino and went up to the peak and spent some time there before I headed out around 9:30am. TodayContinue reading “Day 25: Rifugio Tissi to Rifugio Vazzoler – 10km”

Day 24: Alleghe to Rifugio Tissi – 10km

Left after confirming my next 4 accommodations. Finally made a decidion to stay in the mountains as long as I can and possibly skip Belluno. Left Alleghe and discovered more devastating images of the rock- and mudslides that had happened in October 2018. This explained the area I had been hiking through yesterday and theContinue reading “Day 24: Alleghe to Rifugio Tissi – 10km”

Day 23: Malga Ciapela to Alleghe – 11km

When I woke up it was cool, raining, grey,…. the forecast suggested it would clear up around 10:00am for a bit so I took my time. Breakfast was Italian, so done real quick: coffee and a croissant. The lunchbox wasn’t that exciting, 2 buns, a little ham and cheese, a pre made cookie, a juiceContinue reading “Day 23: Malga Ciapela to Alleghe – 11km”

Day 22: La Villa to Malga Ciapella – 18km

Going to have to take the bus, in fact 2 buses to catch back up with my route. First to Corvara where I walked from yesterday and then from there to the Passo Pordoi at 2239m (7345ft). The connection is not the best, either super early and I would miss breakfast (not an option asContinue reading “Day 22: La Villa to Malga Ciapella – 18km”
