← Day 9 Alta Via 2
+ +# After the hike + +## Back home + +*August 28, 2025* + +My dad's cousin came to pick us up. As we got into the car, the +storm started. From there, it kept raining the whole afternoon. Not +coninuously, it came and went, but when it was there it was +very strong. The bad weather continued for a couple of days. + +We made a good call ending our trip early. + +## Celebration + +*August 29, 2025* + +Some of the people we met along the way arrived in Feltre on the next +day. Like use, they could not properly finish the Alta Via, as the bad +weather caught them when they arrived at Passo Cereda. + +We decided to meet for a dinner all together at [Birreria +Pedavena](https://www.labirreriapedavena.it/), the largest brewery in +Italy, which is conveniently located between Croce d'Aune and Feltre. In +fact, if you walk Alta Via 2 all the way to Feltre, you pass right in +front of the Birreria. + +![Dinner at Birreria Pedavena](../img/29-pedavena.jpg) + +## Award + +*September 2, 2025* + +Upon completing Alta Via 2, hikers can receive an official pin. It is +awarded by the tourist office in Feltre, where they can also +add their name to the book of "finishers". + +As you know, we did not complete the full Alta Via. But since Feltre is +just around the corner, we thought why not go there and ask? In the end, +the exact route of Alta Via 2 is not set in stone. + +It turns out that, according to the guidelines laid out by the Italian +Alpine Club, reaching Rifugio Boz is enough to officially complete Alta +Via 2 and be called a finisher! + +![The Alta Via 2 pin](../img/99-02-pin.jpg) + +Indeed, they know that the last leg of the hike is often skipped due to +bad weather. Ending the journey at Passo Cereda, however, is not enough. + +So now we also have some official recognition for our effort. Cool! + +## Farewell to the mountains + +*September 3, 2025* + +After the hike I spent a few days at home with my family. But now it is +time to go back to the flat lands, where I have been living for the past +few years. + +My flight back to Amsterdam, as it sometimes does, flew right over the +Dolomites. I was able to recognize not only my home town, but also many of +the mountains and valleys my dad and I walked through just a week earlier. + +![The Dolomites from the plane](../img/99-03-farewell.jpg) + + + + + +
