Italian Dolomites Walking Holiday – Rainy walk to Ortisei

The one problem with holidays near mountains is you can NEVER predict the weather! It’s kind of cool because each day you spend in the mist makes you really, really appreciate the stunning views when the mountains finally decide to show their faces. Anyway we had the BEST POSSIBLE day walking along Schlern/Sciliar’s ridge the previous day. So I can’t complain about one seriously soggy day in Ortisei. It was sort of a relief to wake up to terrible weather….

Marc and I may have tried too hard on our first day of walking. Our legs were a bit tired when we woke up the following morning. We decided to walk along a circular route around the countryside near Kastelruth, rather than climbing another one of the main mountains. We attempted one of the routes given to us by Inn Travel, but then went off course (by mistake.) Once we’d gone the wrong way, we made up our own route…
