Time
for another visit to the Dolomites. This day we go
to the village
Sexten, close to the Austrian border. Using
the cableway brings us
to 2030m. |
First
we climb the summit Hasenköpfl, 2226m. |
From
here we follow the ridge up to Monte
Elmo. This route has some steeper sections.
|
|
|
|
About
100 altitude meters are steeper. Even if the grip
with our snowshoes is good, you might need
some earlier experience on
steeper slopes
with snowshoes. It might
be easier in the summertime. There is an
alterantive,
easier route from the south. We use that one going down. |
Memories
from World War 1, just below the summit. |
Almost at the summit.

is a summit cross, next to the empty house. |
Monte
Elmo is a border mountain between Italy and
Austria. To the northeast we can se the valley leading
to Lienz.. |
And here is the highest
mountain in Austria, Grossglockner (3798m) in the middle of
the picture.
