Today we hiked to the base of Mount Pelmo and went to the Rifugio Venezia, part of the hut system. The Rifugio is like a bar,
restaurant, hostel. You need a sleeping bag to stay overnight. The rooms sleep two persons, four persons, or up to twenty in the big loft. The rifugios are all over the mountains andyou can do multi-day trips.
Our hike started in fields, then up to forested hills with periodic meadows. We were going through pasture land and had to open and close gates. Parts were a bit steep and rocky. At the top we had something to drink, and chatted with some other hikers. One couple was from Germany and told us about some other hikes in the area. On the way back we took another route that was on our map, but was not well marked on the trail. We got back rather late and ended up staying
at the same hotel, Albergo Posta, that we stayed at the night before.
Below are photos from the hike, including photos of the Rifugio and the hut shoes- crocs.
