What a clear sky over Monte Castellazzo - how do you manage to get such good weather for your trips? :)

Lovely pictures Karl, I see you had good weather too.

The Dolomites seem to have been over-run with SRGC forum members this year.  8)

Maggi, well-behaved people also are rewarded.
We are in pension and can choose us the time. The weather was fine in the south of the Alps, in the north it has rained and it was cold.

There is the mountain made of silicate rock at the Castellazza only not far from the rolling passport. The burr is made holes in again of the first World War with old positions there. More wax Leontopodium alpina, Eritrichum nanum, Primula glutinosa, Saxifraga paniculata  and much above.
One has a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains over San Martino from here.
