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

We skied across the big gentle glaciers

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

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.

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.

start of the tour.
