The manager at Rifugio Boz told -us "I have walked this trail many times, but with a weather like this, -I would never dare". - -We are prepared and experienced, but we are powerless against the forces -of nature. We give up. On August 28, the last day of our Alta Via 2, -we are not going to Rifugio Dal Piaz, or to Croce d'Aune. We are going -down a safer trail, in the forest of the -[*Val Canzoi*](https://www.dolomitipark.it/en/visiting-the-park/itineraries/on-foot/nature-trails/val-di-canzoi/), -and we are going to conclude our adventure half a day earlier. - -## From Rifugio Boz to Malga Alvis - -![Rifugio Boz with the Sass de Mura on the background](../img/28-0730-boz-sass-de-mura.jpg) - -

- -We leave the hut at 7:35. The are two ways to walk down to Val Canzoi: -either we climb up to *Passo Alvis*, or to *Passo Finestra*. We -choose the former, as the trail that comes down from Passo Alvis -ends close to a bar where we can wait for someone to pick us up. - -![Walking to Passo Alvis](../img/28-0740-walk.jpg) - -

We walk together with other 3 hikers to Passo Alvis. -We are not the only ones who decided to cut the Alta Via short.

- -The weather is not bad for now. There are clouds, but it is not raining. -But the afternoon storm is going to be massive. - -At 7:55 we are up to Passo Alvis (1880 meters on sea level). From there, -we only need to go down another 1000 meters. We can't quite see the -bottom of the valley, but we do see the back of the main mountains that -are also visible from our home. - -![The view from Passo Alvis](../img/28-0755-pizoc.jpg) - -

The view from Passo Alvis. In the back, partly hidden by the -clouds, you can see the -Pizzocco, -the main mountain that rises above our home town. We are coming home!

- -We walk down from the pass. The descent starts steep, but the trail is -not difficult. We see one last family of chamoix, running away from us. - -At 8:40 we reach Malga Alvis (1573m). - -![Malga Alvis](../img/28-0850-malga-alvis.jpg) - -

Malga Alvis.

- -It starts raining. We take shelter inside the malga. The building -is not used for its original purpose anymore, but it is maintained -by the local natural park administration as a bivouac for hikers. -Some 15 years ago, in a cold late April, my dad and I spent the night -here before continuing our hike the following day. - -## Down to the valley, one last time - -Luckily the rain stops soon, and the five of us can continue our march. -The *Lago della Stua* is now visible. - -![Lago della Stua](../img/28-0928-lago-della-stua.jpg) - -

- -We keep going down. My knee starts hurting again, but we are almost there. -Overall I enjoyed this last part of the journey. The trail in this -mid-mountain forest is exactly the kind of road that I used to walk a -lot years ago, when I frequently hiked around these mountains. - -Our adventure ends at 10:40, on the dam of the lake. - -![The end](../img/28-1040-end.jpg) - -We reach the nearby bar, we sit down, we drink a -[spritz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spritz_(cocktail)). - - - - - - -
