pageid = 4779 parentid = 7704
A bright morning and got away in good time. Back up to Col Rodella, then an undulating path to Pass Duron. The Friedrich August Weg.
Good flowers at intervals, but a strong and blustery wind. Tops shrouded in mist. Then on a track down the valley Duron. A lot more flowers but still windy and started to rain for the final section. 14.2 miles total. Bus back from Campitello.
