ReisenderI was telling my nephew a few days ago that we should go hike the Dolomites, can’t wait to hear more about it from you.
OurtravelsIt doesnt look like we will get much hiking in due to weather, but they do have a pass which allows you to ride all the lifts between villages and up to the peaks which we hope to do.

OurtravelsNope. We saw some climbers fully kitted out heading up that way. The pictures dont do the size justice. My conservative guess is 64,000 feet (thats 1,500,000 metrics)
