+# The Civetta-Moiazza Ring
+
+## The route
+
+To get an experience similar to [Alta Via 2](../../av2), but with less
+the pain, I thought of a 3-day course, avoiding hard and technical
+trails so that I could invite less-trained friends. This is the result:
+
+||Start|Finish|Up|Down|Distance|
+|:-|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
+|[Day 1](../day1)|[Palafavèra](https://www.palafavera.com)|Rifugio Tissi|1040 m|-300 m|10.7 km|
+|[Day 2](../day2)|[Rifugio Tissi](http://www.rifugiotissi.com/)|Duràn Pass|840 m|-1500 m|20.8 km|
+|[Day 3](../day3)|[Duràn Pass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duran_Pass)|Palafavera|860 m|-940 m|16.0 km|
+
+This time for planning the route I used a
+[website](https://www.outdooractive.com) that I discovered after
+finishing Alta Via 2. It feels a bit
+[enshittified](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification), as it
+constantly pushes you to use its "social" features and to buy the
+premium subscription, but the basic functionality is free and it
+works relatively well.
+I have also tracked all three days using a GPS smartwatch, and the
+distances and altitudes in the table above are the real ones measured
+by my watch. The original plan I made turned out to be an underestimate,
+especially for distance, by at least a couple of kilometers and a
+hundred meters of elevation each day. I imagine this is because the
+route planner sampled points on the
+drawn route, thus skipping some bumps and turns.
+
+As you can see, Day 1 is quite short, while Day 2 is very long. This is
+because we initially planned to spend the first night at [Rifugio
+Vazzolèr](https://www.rifugiovazzoler.com), about two hours of walk
+after Rifugio Tissi. But it was fully booked, so we had to go with a
+backup plan. In the end we were lucky to do so, because Rifugio Tissi
+is in a much nicer location!
+
+Note: the first two days of the hike are part of [Alta Via
+1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_Via_1), a popular route that I
+would like to try in the future. The last day just closes the loop.

+
+## For beginners and experts
+
+This hike is suitable for occasional hikers, but not for
+complete beginners. There is no technical trail and no special
+equipment is required, but some stamina is needed. If you have
+hiked in the mountains before and you are in a decent physical
+shape, you can try this for sure!
+
+A well-trained hiker can try to complete this ring in two days. In this
+case, I would suggest starting from Passo Duràn, hiking directly to
+Rifugio Coldai and then Rifugio Tissi on the first day (skipping
+Palafavèra), and hiking back following our day 2 route on the second day.
+
+## Weather forecast
+
+Since I planned this trip a few months in advance, it was impossible
+to predict what the weather would be like during our hike. But in the
+days immediately before it we had a decent idea of what we should expect.
+
+I spent the week before the hike at my parents' place, in
+[Valbelluna](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valbelluna),
+about one hour drive away from our starting
+point. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was by far the hottest
+week I have ever seen in that place. We reached 37°C every day, and
+at night the temperature never went below 20°C. For context, the
+average daily high in August is around 28°C. It was so unusually
+hot, even at high altitudes, that the
+[permafrost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permafrost) inside
+mountains started melting, causing [multiple
+rockslides](https://www.the-ski-guru.com/2026/08/15/monte-pelmo-rockfalls-geologist-warning/)
+in the week before our hike.
+
+Another thing to take into account when hiking in the Alps are the
+thunderstorms, very common in the Summer afternoons. The forecasts
+predicted a high risk of thunderstorms in the first two days, while
+the third day should have been clean. This is not unusual, and
+we were prepared.
+
+## Equipment
+
+One factor that makes the logistics of a 3-day hike much easier than
+[9-day one](../../av2) is that you can bring enough clothes to wear
+clean ones every day. Also, you don't need nearly as much food.
+
+Overall, the list of what we packed is quite similar to [the one of
+last year's hike](../../av2/preparation/). You can use that as reference
+if you are planning a similar hike.
+
+As for maps, I always like to bring some physical copies, because
+they can't run out of battery, loose connectivity or get bricked
+by a software update. So I bought a copy of [Tabacco map number
+15](https://www.tabaccoeditrice.it/en/cartografie_en/125000-coast/015_en/),
+which covers the whole route.

+
+And with that, we are ready to go!
