My uncle is -giving us a car ride to Kreutztal, which will take a little more than -3 hours. We leave at 5:55. - -We drive up the Cordevole valley, a road that reminds me of the -many hikes I used to do in the Dolomites, usually starting from the -[Falzarego pass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falzarego_Pass), -hiking around the [Tofane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofane), -the [Cinque Torri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinque_Torri), -[Averau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averau) and others. -But we are not going there this time. - -The road itself is quite scenic. Sorry, I did not -take any pictures pictures. After we go North, we -drive through famous turistic villages like Arabba and -[Corvara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvara%2C_South_Tyrol). -But these small towns leave a weird impression on me, as they consist -mostly of hotels and a few restaurants and bars - all closed because -it is too early for turists to wake up. Are these places just holiday -resorts now? - -Just before we reach Kreutztal, our starting point, it starts raining. - -## The hike begins - -![My dad and I, ready to start hiking](../img/20-0924-kreutztal.jpg) -

*My dad and I, ready to start hiking.*

- -By the time we reach Kreutztal (2000m on sea level), park the car and -put on our rain clothes, it is already 9:30. And this is going to be -one of the longest days, at least according to our estimates. - -The Plosehütte (2447m) is not far, and we reach it pretty -quickly. Unfortunately, it is closed for renovations, and we can't even -get close enough to take a picture of our first checkpoint. - -At least the view from up there is... something. - -![The Odles, surrounded by clouds](../img/20-1033-odles-clouds.jpg) -

*The -[Odles](https://www.val-gardena.com/en/dolomites/geisler-mountain-group/), -surrounded by clouds.*

- -The clouds came and went, but this is pretty much the clearest the -skies have been the whole morning. Besides the cold and the rain being -unpleasant, the low visibility gave us some technical difficulties: right -after passing by the hut, we found ourselves on a grassy slope and we -lost the track. In normal conditions we would have been able to look -out for the next trail marking, or just walk in the right direction, but -with this thick fog we were forced to double check our GPS and our maps. - -## Down through the forest, then up again - -Luckily it did not take us long to find the right way, and we kept descending -in a [larch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larch) forest. - -![Trail in the forest](../img/20-1150-forest.jpg) -

*A trail in a forest between Plosehütte and -Schlüterhütte - Rifugio Genova.*

- -The descent is pleasant. We even manage to catch some break from the -heavy rain, and take a few more pictures of the Odles. - -![Another picture of the Odles](../img/20-1211-odles.jpg) - -We reach the Rodella Pass (1867m) at around 13:00, and from there we -walk up to Schlüterhutte - Rifugio Genova (2297m). As the rain became -heavier, I did not take many notes of this part of the route. - -As the trail is crossed by a stream of water, we have to pass a short -challenging section, where we are forced to climb on the wet rock. -The climb itself is not hard, but the trail is not clearly marked -at that point, which left us wondering if we were doing the right thing. - -We are then blocked by a more difficult trail feature: cows. - -![Cows blocking the road](../img/20-1324-cows.jpg) -

-*Cows are blocking the road. Yes, that little gap is the only way forward.* -

- -After overcoming this zoological obstacle, we reached the -Schlüterhütte - Rifugio Genova at 16:00 and we stop for a slice of -[*Apfelstrudel*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_strudel). - -## The long descent to the village - -At 6 hours and 30 minutes of hiking, this would have been a good -first day. But unfortunately we cannot stop here. At 16:30 we begin -the long descent towards Lungiarü (1398m). - -![Me pointing down towards the fog](../img/20-1703-descent.jpg) -

-*Down there, that's where we have to go. Do you see it? Me neither.* -

- -We walk for two hours in the rain and the fog before reaching the -village. Two hours may not sound like much, but it felt like an -eternity. - -The village of Lungiarü, in -[Val Badia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Badia), is quite nice, but -we have no energy for sightseeing. All we can do before falling asleep -is a shower, dinner, and trying to dry our clothes for the next day. - -|[← Preparation](../preparation)|[Alta Via 2](../)|[Day 2 →](../day2)| -|:-|:-:|-:| -- cgit v1.3
