Via Ferrata D’Ugine Hike
Near Thone we went on a short but nice alpine hike. It started off at 1450m altitude.

The weather was not so good, but we were lucky that it did not rain. The advantage was we were almost alone.

We had bought some bread and ham and tomatoes and cheese that we ate after quite some uphill hiking for lunch.

It started getting moister and more windy. The clouds were creeping up the mountain.


The mountain ridges were quite impressive with very steep slopes.

The route continued up along the ridge until the summit. I did then understand why climbing harness, carabiners and helmet were recommended for this route Via Ferrata D’Ugine.

The summit was at 2409m altitude.We had a nice view despite the cloudy weather. This picture shows the valley of Thones.

We had a short break at the summit despite the strong wind and watched the fast moving creeping clouds.


Our hike was a loop so the path we took down was different from the one we came up on. It was a more direct way and the steepness of the rough gravel alpine path gave us a good training for our thighs.
