Rifugio Cinque Torri 5

📌 Today was another difficult day, perhaps it wasn't the hike as much but the fatigue was playing a role, particularly as the map wasn't as clear today and the day was warming up making things extra challenging. There was definitely some mental battles going on but eventually we made it to the final hut area. This area had several huts around so it was quite busy, but we were exhausted, Chloe was semi injured and we were hungryyy! We dined out on the deck of the busy Rifugio and enjoyed beautiful views and a well earned drink.

📌 Once we'd had enough of the busyness, we did a short loop around the cinque torri (the 5 columns) and headed to our quieter Rifugio down the hill. This was our favourite hut so far, it was quiet, super comfortable and we had a private room overlooking the mountains! All the challenges of the day had been worth it, we played some cards, enjoyed some afternoon drinks with delicious home made cake. As per previous nights we then enjoyed a 3 course meal with delicious pasta and even steak. It was a great finish to the hike and just the right amount of time, any more days would have been a slog and also Chloe's toe nail would have probably fallen off ☺️Read more
