August 18, 2023,05 - Seconda parte dell'Alta Via del Sale

The second part of this beautiful mule track is decidedly less difficult than the first, but no less beautiful.
You can go down to the stupendous Upega (at the exit ticket office) or continue towards Monte Saccarello to arrive at the La Terza refuge, where we pitched our tent.
