The mighty Dolomite Passes
... the right direction.
As I start my climb up the pass the temp gauge is slowly dropping well below freezing. I'm rather nervous about what the road over the pass is going to be like. As those of you who read yesterday’s blog will know the pass road was terrible last night with ice and snow all along it so hell knows what it’s going to be like on this freezing morning.

Starting the dolomite way
... windy and close to closing time, so we walked around for a bit and then started our way back down. We are definitely coming back here for a few days for all the amazing hikes and trails this place to offer in summer, and sky routes at winter!
