+## Down to Rifugio Vazzolèr

+
+We leave Rifugio Tissi at 7:45, headed to Rifugio Vazzolèr. There
+are two trails to get there, we pick 560 over 563. The route is
+clearly indicated by the Alta Via 1 marks.
+
+After about one hour we reach a nice green meadow at 1900 meters
+on sea level.

+triangle with a "1" in it - a mark for Alta Via 1.
+</em></p>
+
+It looks like the ideal spot for camping, and indeed later in the
+day we would meet a group of scouts who planned to pitch their
+tents here.
+
+After a short break we start walking again, and at around 10:00 we reach
+Rifugio Vazzolèr. This place is almost like a small village, with a few
+separate buildings and even a small church and a little botanical garden.
+
+![The peaks east of Rifugio Vazzolèr](../img/8-0955-civetta-moiazza.jpg)

+group. I believe this picture shows the divide between the two, but
+it is not very clear to me where one ends and the other begins.
+Effectively, they form one mountain group.
+</em></p>
+
+We sit down, drink some water with
+[elderberry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambucus) syrup,
+and we are ready to start walking again at 10:35.

+
+## Running from the storm
+
+From Rifugio Vazzolèr we walk down a dirt road (trail 555) until around
+11:15, when we reach the junction with trail 554, at 1430m. After a short
+break we take this other trail, which gradually becomes more technical,
+but never hard or steep - in fact, we neither gain nor loose altitude.
+
+![Landscape](../img/8-1100-random-landscape.jpg)
+
+At 11:50 we stop for about 20 minutes to eat something.
+Now the trail begins to go up, but it is still not too steep.
+
+After another short break next to *Col Palanzìn* (1700m), the trail
+becomes more steep. We reach the pass of *Col de l'Ors* (1800m) at 13:25.
+This is perhaps the most difficult section of the hike, and we
+all make it through without issues.
+
+We now see another pass very far away, and we worry that it is
+*Forcella del Camp*, the next pass we have to reach.
+
+![A far away pass](../img/8-1333-far-pass.jpg)
+
+<p align="center"><em>
+In the center-left of this picture, a far away pass.
+</em></p>
+
+Luckily, that was instead *Forcella di Sejère*, but we only realize
+this at 14:30, when we reach a crossroad (1880m) and we finally see
+*Forcella del Camp* on our left. The last 50 meters to reach it are
+quite steep, but we are relieved to see it much closer than we
+previously thought.
+
+After a 15 minutes snack break, we walk up, we take some pictures,
+and then we walk down towards Rifugio Carestiato.
+
+![The view for the Forcella](../img/8-1506-from-forcella.jpg)

+</em></p>
+
+![The clouds](../img/8-1510-clouds.jpg)
+
+<p align="center"><em>These clouds don't look promising...</em></p>
+
+At this point we are facing some menacing clouds, and we can hear thunders.
+We feel the first drops of rain, and we try to rush our way to the hut.
+For this reason, we don't have many pictures of this section.
+
+Some of us are faster, some are slower. The fastest of our group manage to
+reach Rifugio Carestiato (1850m) at around 16:00, just as the storm begins.
+The rest of us get there soaked, some more than others.
+
+## Slippery when wet
+
+The storm is very strong, but also quick. We barely have time to order
+a [radler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shandy#Radler) and drink it.
+We don't want to linger here for too long, as we still have about one
+hour before we reach our final destination for the day. We leave
+Rifugio Carestiato at 16:55.
+
+![The view after the storm](../img/8-1704-view.jpg)
+
+<p align="center"><em>

+after the storm has ended.
+</em></p>
+
+As we are all a bit tired from the long day, we walk down slowly.
+Some parts of the road had become rivers during the storm, and
+are still draining. The steep last part before the Duràn pass
+is also quite slippery, but we manage not to fall.
+
+We finally arrive at the pass at 17:50. The place is not as
+beautiful as the location of Rifugio Tissi, but at least here we
+can eat, have a shower, and sleep.
