Sassongher

Dorothy and I had a most enjoyable holiday at Selva with HF Holidays. We were there for two weeks and in the first week I did their 'High Routes' holiday. My favourite day was the day we went to the top of Sassongher.

Sassongher (2665m) is to the East of Selva. We took the bus to Colfosco and then the lift to Utia Col Pradat. Here is the view part way there looking South.

There were a few cables for protection on the way up. Here is a picture of me at the top.

It's a very dramatic mountain as you can see from these pictures taken on the way to Rifugio Puez, before we descended to the beautiful Vallunga (valley).
