We are entering the *Vette +Feltrine*, a part that is perhaps less well-known by tourists, but no +less beautiful. The trails we'll have to walk are going to be narrow, +often steep. The weather forecasts for the day are not great, but we +should reach our [Rifugio Boz](https://www.rifugioboz.it/) (1718 meters +on sea level) before it starts raining. For now there is just a thick fog, +and the weather is unpleasantly hot and humid. + +![Rifugio Cereda, with the Pala Group in the background](../img/27-0740-cereda.jpg) + +m4_caption({{{{{Our last view on Rifugio Cereda and the Pala Group.}}}}}) + +We leave at 7:45. At first we walk on a secondary road, then on a dirt +road. Both my guide booklet and the signs try to make us walk downhill +towards the nearby villages of Matiuz and Padreterno, but there is a +clearly faster road that stays in the forest until we reach the start +of the actual trail. + +![Some signs, none pointing to where we are going](../img/27-0833-sign.jpg) + +m4_caption({{{{{ +The top sign is marked as "AV2", for Alta Via 2.

Or perhaps the sign simply fell off. +}}}}}) + +After about one hour of walk in the forest, the actual trail begins. +The humidity is very high, still unpleasant.
