*Rifugio Rosetta*.
+ +[Rifugio Rosetta](https://www.rifugiorosetta.it) (2581m) is easily +reachable with a cable car, and because of this it is very crowded, +similarly to the area around Piz Boè that we passed through on +[day 3](../day3). + +This is a good time for a break, so we decide to sit down, drink +a glass of [skiwasser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiwasser), and +eat another slice of strüdel. Yes, we ate a lot of those. The one +they serve in this hut is particularly good, with plenty of fresh +fruit and pine nuts. + +We get up and leave the hut at 14:05. The weather gets cold and foggy, +but luckily for us it won't last long. Our plan is to walk down until +*Col de le Fede* (2200m) and then up again to *Pass dei Ball* (2433m). + +The way down is slow and tedious, and my knee starts hurting again. + + +*Walking down from Rifugio Rosetta*.
+ +The way up to the pass is steep, and there is a long section equipped +with a steel rope. But the equipped part is actually very easy compared +to other similar trails that we have walked this morning and in the +previous days. + + +*My dad walking on this equipped section.*
+ +After reaching Pass dei Ball, we walk down slowly to +[Rifugio Pradidali](https://www.rifugiopradidali.com/eng/Home.html) +(2278m), which we reach at 17:05. + +Later we would discover that there is an alternative route to +go from Rosetta to Pradidali, which starts by walking up to the +East and skips both the slow and tedious descent and the +more steep section before Pass dei Ball. This alternative path was +probably slightly easier, but it would not have saved us that much +time and effort. + +The Pradidali is a nice hut, but there is no phone signal nor WiFi. +The showers are still expensive, and when it is my turn the water boiler +has run out of gas, and I can either wait for it to be replaced or do a +freezing cold shower. I don't want to wait, so arctic shower here I come! |[← Day 5](../day5)|[Alta Via 2](../)|[Day 7 →](../day7)| |:-|:-:|-:| diff --git a/src/av2/img/25-1321-rosetta.jpg b/src/av2/img/25-1321-rosetta.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a74ef1a Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/25-1321-rosetta.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/25-1519-down-from-rosetta.jpg b/src/av2/img/25-1519-down-from-rosetta.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f34edb0 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/25-1519-down-from-rosetta.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/25-1606-rope.jpg b/src/av2/img/25-1606-rope.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cec1b9e Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/25-1606-rope.jpg differ -- cgit v1.3
