this summer has been extended and clean, makes a zig-zag path that even if steep
(difference of about 400m in just over 1km), in the middle of a beech forest and near pasture with spectacular blooms.
Friday there was a moon big and bright ... so bright that we've done all the way up and back down without the batteries.
was so bright that it was shaded all the way back up!
the batteries were not used even in the beech forest, now all the leaves have fallen ...
there was total silence, he felt only our breathing and our steps ...
we left the hut at 20:55, and I arrived at the end of the trail at 21:33

enjoying the view of our beautiful lake below us.
then all together we walked the trail (Cai N ° 662) ...
before we saw the snow!
Crest threw a chill wind that came from .. Valfredda below us ...
an occasional howl of wind and we bent a little bit more we went forward.
sure .. just get a meter and the wind does not pull anymore ..
... but you want to put on the ridge?!
with front wheel ... I was chatting, telling the other one in front,
we hardly noticed the cold and wind.
we arrived at the ref. Fiori del Baldo (1815mt) and here we expect to make the final piece together.
from here ... all the snow!
the snow glistened in the moonlight, was in the croc-croc boots, the temperature was rapidly falling, the cold became more and more pungent, the stirrers sank into the snow and we just kept laughing all the happiness.
mum and me ... most of all ... we had the surprises! :))))
come to the shelter and find a table on the porch ...
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalt still ... I say ... all ....
go for a ride that we have to prepare the surprise!
we made to leave all backpacks and we sent them all away ..-
poor .... the wind whipping off the porch and now they all want to drink something hot, maybe eating something together sweet.
with chilled fingers, laughing like two silly we make ready the table.
tablecloth, candles, napkins, cookies, chocolates, biscuits, 2 different teas, hot chocolate, coffee e. ..
a chilled white wine!
a chilled white wine!
when we called the rest of the group ... they even clapped!
all to laugh and congratulate all to drink and toast, all eating and talking.
there is also escaped by singing "Happy Birthday"
then ... after all over ... after putting away all clean and put back in order ...
I left a jar of marmalade pears and candied lime near the door to Max.
has found the frozen the next day. :)))
slowly, slowly, laughing and singing again .. we went back down.
slowly, because the ridge the trail is more difficult downhill, must be very careful where you put your feet.
trunks that hold together the path of Lino Ottaviani were covered with frost .. then had to do even more attention ...
