12## The starry night
13
14During the night I woke up and managed to catch a glimpse of a wonderful
15starry night, the likes of which I have never seen before.
16
17If you live in a place with a lot of light pollution, like every medium
18to large city nowadays, seeing *a few* stars may already be an unusual
19experience. At the moment I live in a fairly small city, and we literally
20never see stars over here. We are lucky if we see Venus once in a while.
21
22But I grew up in a small village in a sparsely populated area, I *was*
23used to seeing skies full of stars at night. But this time, at 2500
24metres above sea level, in the middle of literally nowhere, the sky was
25soething else.
26
27I did not manage to take a good picture, sorry. I did not feel like going
28out in the freezing cold.

30## The Farangole pass
31
32At Rifugio Mulaz, the sun rises at 6:40 and sets at around 7:05.
33In the morning. Luckily for you, I got up early enough to catch
34the sunset.
35
36![The morning sunset](../img/25-0707-sunset.jpg)
37<p align="center">
38*Rifugio Mulaz is closely surrounded by high mountains. This is the only
39spot where you could see something in the distance. The sun rises from
40the peaks on the left of this picture, only to hide away behind those
41on the right shortly afterwards.*
42</p>
43
44It's a beautiful day, if only a bit cold. This time we get up earlier than
45usual and we are ready to leave at 7:15. The main challenge of the day
46is going to be the *passo delle Farangole* (2932 meters on sea level),
47a high mountain pass not far from the hut. Our guide book even suggests
48a possible alternative route for less confident hikers, but we believed
49it to be within our capabilities.
50
51After steep, but short, climb to *Forcella Margherita* (2655m) we reach a
52section of the trail that would not be particularly challenging, it was
53not for the fact that the track is not well marked.

56<p align="center">

58</p>
59
60In fact, the traces of the hikers who missed the path are *more* visible
61than the actual trail, likely because said hikers made them more clear
62by backtracking their steps when they realized they were out of the
63trail. We do the same a couple of times.
64
65We soon reach the start of the equipped trail that leads to the pass,
66but I am not convinced and I decide to try climbing up the scree next
67it. This was probably a mistake, so we soon turn left and attach our
68trusty ropes to the steel supports.

73
74The track is very steep, and at times
75[exposed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_%28heights%29), but the
76steel ropes and the other supporting material is in a good state.
77Overall, this famous Farangole pass is easier than we expected.

81*And down we go. The steel ladder looks like it ends in the void,
82but actually there is an extra steel beam protruding from the
83rock, and after that there only a 60cm drop.*
84</p>
85
86After clearing the pass at around 9:00, we feel satisfied and proud of
87ourselves. My knee does not even hurt anymore.
88
89Little did we now that the truly difficult part is the Farangole *trail*,
90which we'll have to go through later this morning. But for now, in our
91blisfful ignorance, we enjoy the beautiful weather and we take plenty
92of pictures as we walk down from the pass.

106
107## The Farangole trail
108
109As the trail gets tight and very exposed, we realize that maybe
110*this* is the section the guide book was warning us about. We
111proceed carefully, attaching our home-made harness when a steel rope
112is available. Unfortunately, most of the trail is on a narrow ledge
113surrounded by grass and soft soil, where no piece of supporting material
114can be fixed. At least it is not wet.

120
121![Anoher hiker](../img/25-1141-hiker.jpg)
122<p align="center">*Another hiker following us on the same trail.*</p>
123
124Since this trail is challenging and dangerous, we have to keep
125constant focus on our steps and the way ahead of us. We have little
126time to relax and enjoy the beautiful view, and we take much fewer
127pictures than we did earlier.

133river at the bottom center of this picture. On the left, you
134can see the tiny line that is the Farangle trail.*
135</p>
136
137At 12:30 we reach the bottom of *Valgrande*. We are at
138*Pian dei Cantoni* (2310m).
