Monte Pelmo.

+ +We are worried about the weather, as strong thunderstorms are +possible in the afternoon. But are walking at a good pace, as we +reach Casera Pioda (1819m) after around one hour. +In the meantime, the view has opened up on the south, showing us +mountains that I couldn't name. + +![The view on the south](../img/7-1052-south.jpg) + +

+The view on the south, with the small village of Pécol in the foreground. +

+ +We continue on trail 564 and then take trail 556. +After another hour, at around 11:00 we reach Rifugio Coldai (2180m), +where we stop to eat our usual slice of +*[Apfelstrudel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_strudel)* +- but some of us prefer +*[Sachertorte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachertorte).* + +![Rifugio Coldai](../img/7-1106-coldai.jpg) + +

Rifugio Coldai.

+ +## On to Rifugio Tissi + +We leave the hut at 11:45, and soon we reach Lake Coldai (2140m). +We are now turning around the northern side of Monte Civetta. Pelmo, +on the north-east, hides behind the rocks we have just passed, while +new mountains become visible on the north. + +![Lake Coldai](../img/7-1213-lake-coldai.jpg) + +

+Lake Coldai, and Monte Pelmo peeking out from behing the rocks. +

+ +![Mountains on the north](../img/7-1227-north.jpg) + +

+The mountains visible on the north. Can you spot the + +Tre Cime di Lavaredo? +Try with the full-size picture! +

+ +Moving towards Rifugio Tissi, we walk down along trail 560 to +around 2000m of altitude, where the downward trail 565 starts. +Here, at 13:15, we take a small break with a beatiful view on the +peaks of northern [Agordino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agordo). + +After a steep, but short, ascent along trail 563 we +reach rifugio Tissi (2250m) at 14:25. + +![Rifugio Tissi](../img/7-1423-tissi.jpg) + +

Rifugio Tissi.

+ +## A relaxing afternoon + +Arriving so early at our destination for the day means we have +a lot of time to relax, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery from +the summit of Col de Reàn (2281m), which is just behind the Rifugio. + +![View from Col de Reàn](../img/7-1549-view.jpg) + +These pictures do not show it well, but the northern side of Col +de Reàn drops vertically down to the Alleghe Lake (1000m). +The drop is almost 1300 meters! + +![The summit of Col de Reàn](../img/7-1550-summit.jpg) + +

+The summit of Col de Reàn. You can see the drop on the right +edge of the mountain. +

+ +Due to the ongoing drought, it is not possible to shower - and +in fact there is little water from the tap, so even washing +one's hands is quite challenging. + +More on the bright side, the expected thunderstorm does not +happen, so we can enjoy more time outside after dinner. + +![The north-west face of Civetta](../img/7-9999-civetta.jpg) + +

The north-west face of Civetta.

+ +Around sunset, we manage to catch a brief glimpse of an intense +*enrosadira* - or [alpenglow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpenglow). + +![The north-west face of Civetta](../img/7-9999-enrosadira.jpg) + +

+The base of Monte Pelmo was briefly an intense pink hue, almost +purple. This is shot does not show the phenomenon at its peak, +but it is the best we have. +
