Today's walk was also in the Val di Fassa, but the scenery was again different.
The minibus took us to the village of Pozza and the Buffaure
chair lift, which we took to the top station
at the Col de Valvacin (2372m). From the col the path followed a grassy ridge for a while over
Sas d'Adam
to Sas Porcel. The path continued along the ridge before contouring along the slopes of the Sas de Roces and
then descending to the Rifugio Passo San Nicola (2340m) for a refreshment stop.
From the refuge some of us took path 509 across scree slopes below Col Ombert before dropping down into the San Martino valley and the Baita alla Cascata. This was a very small but pleasant hut which was close to a waterfall. We stayed here a while having a drink and enjoying the views. We continued down the valley following the river to our final stop at the Malga Crocefisso where we enjoyed a beer before the minibus picked us up. |
