As usual, DolomitiMeteo opens with the cheerful statement: “a strong low-pressure system over Austria is causing general instability,” and so the decision is made: no Costantini–Apollonio, but instead a quick outing to Punta Fiames. But who on earth is this Eliot Putti?!?! The topo was missing a key detail, so from the heliotherapy institute we set off on the trail leading to Forcella Pomagagnon. The route is beautiful, at times exposed, never difficult, but very satisfying—almost as much as the descent, over fine scree where it feels more like surfing than walking!
