heading south out of Bolzano, for the Val di Fiemme |
we stop early in Cavalese to enjoy the old town (and a gelato) |
|
|
|
back on the road, we start to glimpse new rock types |
|
|
|
|
the white stones jut up everywhere |
|
into the Val di Fassa |
we stop to rest, and to take some impossible panorama shots |
|
|
back on the road, dealing with distractions... |
...outrageous views through the windows... |
...and lots of other vehicles! |
|
|
another stop at the Passo Sella, at 2240m |
|
"You mean it's just rocks?" |
|
the views out the other side are just as good |
|
|
"OK, rocks are good." |
heading down from the pass, into the Val Gardena |
this must be heaven's football pitch |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
snaking down to the Val Badia |
|
there's a cross on that peak |
a quiet moment between passing bicycles |
|
|
a surprising pond near the road |
at the Passo Falzarego, above Cortina d'Ampezzo |
|
|
camper's housing among the rocks |
|
the scale of these mountains is amazing... |
|
...making attempts at panorama shots rather pointless! |
heading down again... |
...we pass a WWI memorial and museum |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
looping back now to the Val di Gardena... |
...and our night's rest in Selva |
