Soon we find an enigmatic sign which is apparently -trying to communicate that going left or right leads to the same -places. We spend like 5 minutes figuring this out, and we choose to -go left. - -The path is not steep and walking in the forest is enojyable. Since we -are at a lower altitude than we have been for most of the other days, -it is also much warmer than, say, yesterday morning. - -![A view from the trail in the forest](../img/23-1115-view.jpg) -

-*A view from the forest, on the way up from Malga Ciapèla to Forca Rossa.* -

- -The forest soon leaves space to grassy slopes and naked rock. The way -up is still pleasant, and we have met almost no other hiker so far - -in stark contrast with the previous day. - -![Grassy slops up to Forca Rossa](../img/23-1220-forca-rossa.jpg) -

-*The lower clay-red peak on the center-left of the picture is Forca Rossa, -where we are headed. "Rossa" in Italian means "red" - it's nice when things -are what their name says they are, isn't it?* -

- -We arrive at *Forca Rossa* (2500m) at 13:05. Only in the last few minutes -my knee gave me some problems, but it is not so bad that it makes me -want to stop. - -Here at the top of this trail there are all the hikers that we did not -meet on the way up; they probably came from the other side. There must -be some kind of force field blocking tourists from entering the province -of Belluno. - -![View from Forca Rossa to the Belluno side](../img/23-1325-forca-rossa-bl.jpg) -

- -## Walking down green pastures - -There is a great view on both sides of this pass, but the wind is cold -and strong and we are not keen on staying long. After eating a couple -of protein bars and taking many pictures, we start walking down towards -Fuciade at 13:40. - -![The path to Fuciade](../img/23-1420-pastures.jpg) -

*Walking down to Fuciade.*

- -The way down is quite relaxing. We walk among green pastures, where -cows and horses grazed freely. That is, until they are less romantically -slaughtered to make [Bresaola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresaola). -But until then they can enjoy the green grass. - -At 15:00 we reach Fuciade (1982m), a location where many families with -kids were relaxing after a meal at [the hut](https://www.fuciade.it/en/). -If one wants a more quiet place, a short walk up the trail that we were -descending quickly leads away from the crowd. This place gave a sense -of tranquillity. - -![Me relaxing in Fuciade](../img/23-1512-fuciade.jpg) -

-*Me relaxing in Fuciade while I enjoy a glass of -[Radler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shandy#Radler) - don't be fooled -by the Coca-Cola can.* -

- -After a short short break, we move to -[Rifugio Flora Alpina](https://floralpina.it) (1800m), that we reach -shortly at around 16:00. The place is surrounded by the forest, -and the only peaks that are not hidden by trees are the -[Mulaz](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulaz) and the -[Focobón group](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppo_del_Focobon). - -![The Mulaz and the Focobon group](../img/23-1818-focobon.jpg) -

-*A spectacular view of the Mulaz and the Focobón group. As the light -changed and the clouds moved, the colors changed as well. I spent quite -some time just sitting outside the hut, admiring these peaks.* -

- -Now, for the first time since we started our journey, we some time -to relax before dinner. We enjoy a sauna and a hot tub. - -|[← Day 3](../day3)|[Alta Via 2](../)|[Day 5 →](../day5)| -|:-|:-:|-:| -- cgit v1.3
