Rifugio Alpe de Tieres

10-4-2007. Well, we went back to the rifugio. We stashed some luggage and headed up a different valley, another beautiful walk with some fresh views. Perfect weather, some lingering snow to coat the high elevations, cow and goat bells singing in the distance. We made it up by late afternoon in time to sip some wine and beer and read on the terrace. Dinner was again amazing. Met a cool couple from Wyoming on their umpteenth trip to Italy, and got some good pointers. We had to hike out in a little rain the next day, but we had our fill. Though it pains us to leave the countryside, we're off to try to make it into Venice...



I mean, "whaaaat"?
