Selva di Valgardena, Italy - 2nd July 2012

By: smaug

Hi Mum,

Today we headed into the heart of the dolomites :D, where early in the morning we were welcomed by pouring rain :rolleyes:, and as we left the parking lot there were limited signs of improvement.

Still, we started walking up a narrow valley and when we came out of the trees things got better :). We were following a very nice trail...

...with lovely peaks surrounding us all the time :).

As we gained elevation, the view improved further...

...and we eventually saw the highest point of our day, a narrow pass at the top of the valley.

Once we got up there we saw a plateau that apparently we had to cross...

...and more mountains around us :).

A few hours later :rolleyes:, we were looking at the same plateau from the opposite side...

...before diving down this wonderful valley and go back to the car, where we arrived just minutes before the rain came back, perfect timing ;).
