Holiday trip Italy/France. Part II – Italy/Dolomites

FIRST DAY - our goal is Sass de Pordoi, 2950 m.


Start from Cianacei. 
The weather is very nice - windy, temperature near 25 degrees. Wow - it is a lot of snow around us - it is summer, July - unfortunately not ski  season :)
The trip took us five hours.

Snow, snow, snow ...

Return trip by lift

SECOND DAY - our goal is Roda del Vael area.

Very nice and beautiful route from Poza. Trip to Rifugio Roda del Vael (2280m), later on Pas dal Vailolon and Pas da le Zigolande (wow, this pass wasn't easy to reach), and return by unmarked path with storm behind ... trip took us 6 hours.












Silence ...


THIRD DAY - trip from Passo Costalunga to Roda del Vael.

This day we had "a close encounter" with lightning - 5 meter in front of us.


FOURTH DAY - our goal Laghi di Lusia - nice lakes in the mountains.





It is wonderful place for bikers ...below one of the example of interesting and nice trip.



Finally, I must say espresso tastes great in mountains :)
