Via Alpina Yellow Trail B18 from Piave Valley to Antelao

I say goodbye in the morning in the rifugio, the men give me their respects, that Choch is for the photo na us that Chuchi useghips 📷 Italian Näbä hätmi accompanied by the Aafang, dänn häz uuftaa ☀️ and it isch ordeli apsi gange, always nice ame Bächli naa. Mini Chnöchä hand aafangä zwickä and so hanimi decided to weigh in Calalzo di Cadore, in the valley, to put it to bed - a guätä decision. Dä Giancarlo from the sports center took wonderful care of me on Namittag, hätmi for everything iigladä and hätmer zämä with sim dickä dog that shows a Caribbean-like lake 🤩 It was a night with Giancarlo ischmer dänn echli zvill and so we chauffeured the village to the hotel 🚗.

The lower part is just a hike. Things got more intense at the end of the valley, though, and there were everything you'd expect from a mountain hut. The hut is nice but quite crowded. On the trail, however, it's very relaxed.

A crossing of the Alps in two months and 45 stages: the 800-kilometer Yellow Via Alpina. Here is the film about the hike: https://youtu.be/tVTeKg0li54 The Via Alpina leads through a wide variety of Alpine regions, which undoubtedly accounts for its special appeal. Through the Trieste Karst, the Julian and Carnic Prealps to the Dolomites, the path leads through less touristy Alpine regions. That makes it exciting and new, so there is often a lack of long-distance hiking infrastructure: In the morning it is not always certain where you can spend the night in the evening. Sometimes the tent helps, but mostly the local people help: Every day there is a new story to tell. In the Dolomites, the Schnalstal, the Ötztal Alps and in the Northern Limestone Alps there are sufficient huts, accommodation and supply options. There the daily cyclist is secured in the circle of numerous other hikers. This makes traveling more enjoyable, if less adventurous. All in all, it is an overwhelming crossing of the Alps, which is very rarely done in one go and which still has great potential. A book (with the many stories and lots of information about the tour) will follow shortly.
