Snow Shoeing in Valmalenco
Difference made: Day 1: 210 - Day 2: 440
I reserve the right, with determination, the right to disagree, but I think this time, with this weekend, we went right next to the excellent, next time try to find what you are, which was also a surprise for me to find "back home".
Two days essentially perfect, the ones that accompanied us in Valmalenco where, let cars at an altitude of 1960 m. along the road of Campo Moro, took over the first part of this day that could only be exploited in every moment, the climb to Rifugio Runcash Ca, which owes its name to the old hut Runcasch, once a shelter for shepherds local, who wore their summer Armetta to the high meadows; Runcasch however is also the dialect word that identifies the ptarmigan.
After a reasonable break in a hut, has given way to a wonderful trip in which we have reached the Rifugio Alpe Cristina Prabello 2287 m. placed in a large basin at the base of the slopes of Pizzo step, in the same place in isolated and dominant position on the top of a rocky hill, the Church of Our Lady of Peace, (built in 1919, while from 1929-31 were added to the side bodies el'apside, his paintings are preserved and other works of art from the time of ' buildings and tombstones and inscriptions) , where even more eyes and was kidnapped by the vastness of the environment entirely dressed in snow.
Returning to the shelter of Ca Runcasch, each one busy with their own affairs has been waiting for the dinner hour, the which all judgments behind a veil No Comment, as sleepless last night and for breakfast and for its slowness, was in danger of becoming lunch, question time in 1937 that the conquest of the North-east wall of the shovel by Cassin, Ratti, Edwards, Molteni and Valsecchi was not considered that a stay of the first order, but for us there would be Mountain Town means for a challenge given by the general discontent.
put aside these feelings, and set about on a bitter cold the second day that among the suggested itineraries saw the achievement of the pitch Campagneda 2610 m. which is also a wonderful vantage point on the adjacent valley and the peaks adjacent Poschiavina including Pizzo Scalino 3323 m. and Mount Spondascia 2867 m. which saw a flash ascent of Silvio and Marcello.
Unfortunately the raging wind, constant over these two days, did not allow a more dignified, prolonged stop at the Pass, invites the group to return to the refuge and then a few hours after the car.
We were in 28.
