Corvara Day Five. Piz Boe

Piz Lago Gelato 3,009m.     Piz Boe 3,152m

Via feratta: Vallon Grade 2B

Another early for us stat with breakfast at eight. We then sorted our self out and set of on foot for the cable car Boe. We were going up the cable car and then the Vallon chair lift. At the top we traversed round the basin at first no one was going our way and I was a little worried about the bridge still being there. We had a little trouble locating the star but another party came up behind us who headed straight for it. That helped! The route was fantastic a lovely scramble to the bridge and after a bit more challenging. At the top the heavens opened for a while it was much colder rain than we were expecting and then hail. We could hear thunder. The quickest route back involved an other via feratta which we were not to sure about! Luckily it was just a shower and the sun came out. We continued up to Piz Boe going over Piz Lago Gelato 3,009m on the way. At the top we went into the refuggio and had minestrone soup with sausage. Lovely. It was at this point that I realised that we had only bought single lift tickets instead of return! But did we panic no we did not. We walked back to the refuggio near the chair lift. Lost of thunder and lightening but no rain until later. We walked down to the cable car and bought no tickets for that. A good decision we thought as we would still have been walking down even after we had finished our evening meal. Of pizza and salad and a nice beer. Excellent day
