Frankie,
thanks for your report, enjoy it. The Vipera berus looks a bit weird.
Was it dead or old skin peeling off ?

He was dead, Armine.

A pity it was dead. Any idea what could have killed it?

The next trek takes us back to a calcareous area in the Dolomites, namely the Catinaccio. This is a narrow mountain range that is characterized by the very narrow peaks like fingers pointing upwards, also  the Torri del Vaiolet called. The many bizarre rock formations provide a special atmosphere.
