El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

Dolomites Alta Via 2 day 7

Italian Meteo had multiple alerts out over the next few days for rain and thunderstorms. We made the decision to take a lower variant of the AV2 that skirted the west side of Pale di San Martino massif.

This 11km trail led us down through beautiful alpine meadows & over rolling hills to Passo Rolle. There we caught local bus to the chic alpine resort of San Martino di Castrozza.

Tomorrow depends again on the weather.

Starting the trail down through green pines and meadows to Passo Rolle. Above the hiker are dramatic rock faces

A road winds its way through green hillsides. Above rise some dramatic mountain peaks of the Pale di San Martino range

Looking through a gap in some pine trees towards a mountain rock face riding up and with clouds interspersed in the summit

An upper area of barren rock faces and verticality contrasts with the green lushness of a valley floor
