We decided to head over to Cortina and do the Via Ferratta Col Rosa, which I had done before the last time we visited Italy with a group from Colletts.

We parked our car up on an old airfield, to start the hike to the VF at 10:30am , but found the river crossing had been washed away, so we had to drive down river to another bridge crossing. It was very humid and quite warm as we hiked up to the start of the VF.

After a long mostly uphill hike we reached the start of the VF at 12:15pm, at this point it started to rain lightly, but as we had hiked so far we thought we would give it a go anyway.

It started to rain even harder, and the rocks and cables became very slick, so we had to abort the VF, and then hike back to the car, as we got to the car it really started to rain hard, with thunder and lightning.

We then drove back towards Arrabba, and stoped off at Cinque Torri and did a short hike in the area.
