Day 6 on the AV1. Some good views, although the weather put a little damper on things, and had a great meal at Malga Pramper! Did you know a lot of the local rifugios and farms make their own grappa?

Rifugio Tissi has one of the best views on the entire AV1!

Day 4 - Short but sweet at 8 miles! A hard climb to Forcella di Giau, but after that, pretty easy terrain. Mount Pelmo keeps you company for most of the day :)

2nd Day on the AV1. Snow begins at about 8,200 feet nearing the top of the hike at Lagazuoi. Still, the snow was patchy and no spikes were needed. Epic day on the trail!

We’re off on the Alta Via 1! First day hiking from Lago Di Braies to Pederu. No snow on this stage at all. Great conditions for hiking in the Alps in the early season. Tomorrow we hike to Lagazoui, which we expect to find a fair bit of snow. Stay tuned….

"[A Pygmy Elephant vendor said] I enjoy working with people like you because you're not tourists, you're travelers’. I said, ‘what do you mean?’ He goes, ‘you're not just here to look and say you're here. You're here because you want to see it. You want to learn it. You want to understand it.’ And I never thought about it that way."

Above is a snippet from our interview with California hiker, Patty.
