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. |

Almost at the summit. |

There
is a summit cross, next to the empty house. |
Monte
Elmo is a border mountain between Italy and Austria. To the northeast we
