Adamello group

3 days skiing on high glaciers and 2 nights staying in a mountain hut

We skied across the big gentle glaciers  (seen looking south from Monte Venezia)
 

islands in the mist -- peaks seen southwest from our tour to Care Alto
 

ski tracks on the slope to the foot of the big glacier,
on our exit north down to the Ponte di Legno road

Gi and I skied a circuit around the famous Drei Zinnen and the Oberbachernspitze,
near Toblach (Dobbiaco) and Cortina d'Ampezzo:

Gi with the Drei Zinnen (Tre Cimes di Lavaredo)
 

We started on the groomed cross-country tracks in Fischleintal (Val Fiscalina),
a short ways from Moos and Sexten
 

We met two other skiers at the Capella degli Alpini
 

Gi on our final descent under the north face of the Oberbachernspitze,
which we had climbed earlier that day from its south side.

Cristalloscharte

The next day we skied a tour on Cristallo, a mountain just north of Cortina d'Ampezzo, starting from a parking area near the main road south from Toblach (Dobbiaco).

Monte Cristallo from the north -- the "scharte" is the snowy cleft just to the right of the dark rock in center. The tricky part of the tour is to get through the diagonal line of cliffs below right from the cleft.
