| Waiting for the bus at Alba for Campitello. We obtained the bus timetable from the reception at the hotel and aimed for the 08:54 bus. We went early, which was just as well as the bus came 5 minutes early! There was no charge on the bus, so we were left wondering whether we had actually taken the right bus! It took us to Campitello without any drama, so we did not give it any further thought! |
The cable car Funivia Col Rodella goes from 1,411m in Campitello to 2,395m at Col Rodella, a height gain of 984m
Climbing wall next to the cable car entrance

Nice buns!
Makes a change from Apple Strudel!
Mont de Seuc (Ladin) Seiseralm (German) and Alpe de Suisi (Italian) for the same place!
The rucksack of an 11-year-old Italian boy, who collects badges for each of the major peaks
he climbs. He was so chuffed when I showed an interest and talked to his parents about his exploits!
Rifugio Sandro Pertini 2,316m
Looking back from whence we came
Approaching Rifugio Sasso Piatto Plattkofelhutte 2,300m
4.27 km in 1H50
Here we skirted to the right and contoured down, rather than dropping down to the buildings in the dip
Rifugio Sasso Piatto Plattkofelhutte 2,300m
5.32km in 2H09
Leaving Rifugio Sasso Piatto Plattkofelhutte
Here we had to make sure we were on the south side of the fence, which was accessible via a swinging gate
The people on the north side of the fence had a problem, and had to climb over a barbed wire fence
Well, what is a dog supposed to do when it's hot?
Near Pass de Duron
A strange long-haired black-faced sheep

The "Hill of Hell"........ the 238 m climb to Rifugio Tierser Alpl at the end of the walk
..... just when you are most tired!
Rifugio Tierser Alpl 2,440m, located below the craggy rocks of the Forcella Denti di Terrarossa.
Our room..... Room 304 in the eves ......cosy!
Testing yet another Strudel
The boot room.... even has boot dryer pegs!
