Almost 16 months have passed since my last post on my Facebook fan page and even longer on instagram! I never planned for such a long break, but the longer I waited to get back into the social media saddle the more anxious I was getting about posting something there.   In the meantime, I have received messages from some of you asking if I was ok. For that I want to thank you!   So, am I ok? I guess as ok as anyone can get in the current World circumstances. We’ve all been put to a massive test of patience and mental endurance and despite everything that has been going on I am proud ..read more

A Day Hike Through Val Fiscalina In The Tre Cime Nature Park In The Italian Dolomites

Tre Cime Nature Park is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the Italian Dolomites and for a good reason.   Its famous Three Peaks, where the park takes its name from are one of the most recognisable features of these mountains.   I spent a considerable amount of time adventuring in the Tre Cime Nature Park and the hike through Val Fiscalina has become one of my favourite dolomiti day hikes.   Most tourists hitting the trails in the Tre Cime Nature Park focus on the famous loop of the Three Peaks, a beginner day hike starting and ending at rifugio Auronzo at ..read more

No time to read now? Save it for later! I have been travelling the World full time for almost half of my life, but there is still one thing that I don’t like about travelling - packing.   I always have the overwhelming feeling that I forgot to pack something very important. Anyone with me on that?   Truth be told, apart from travel documents, phone and money everything else can be replaced, so I really have no reason to stress unless... I am packing for a multiday hike.   This is way different because If I forget something, for example a rain jacket, not only it can make my ..read more

Beginner's Guide To Via Ferrata Climbing In The Italian Dolomites

Save it to your Pinterest If I was to play a word association game with Italian Dolomites, via ferrata would be my first pick. These mountains were a cradle for via ferrata climbing, a sport growing in popularity in recent years.   During the First World War, the soldiers constructed these routes to gain strategic strongholds over the enemy. The Great War ended eventually claiming thousands of lives, but the iron secured on the mountainsides remained.   The routes eventually morphed into tourist attractions with more advanced, longer tracks being establis ..read more

Piz Boè - A Hike To The Most Accessible 3000 Meter Summit In The Italian Dolomites

Standing on mountain summits during sunrises and sunsets are some of my favourite life experiences.   Sadly to get there for this time means either hiking at unsociable hours or bivouacking in sub zero temperatures and as I get older both of these options seem less appealing with each year passing.    When I found out about the Capanna Fassa refuge located right on the summit of Piz Boè - the highest peak in the Sella Group in the Italian  Dolomites I knew I had to stay there overnight.    Staying in a cozy hut, without having have to drag ..read more

Tackling Dolomite's Famous Via Ferrata - Brigata Tridentina Al Pisciadu

by

I had been putting off via ferrata Brigata Tridentina for quite some time, all my research suggesting that it’s one of the busiest ferratas in the Dolomites definitely had something to do with it.   I normally head out to the mountains to seek solitude and whenever I come across someone carrying speakers and playing loud music, I try to give them my best death stare. Either my face expressions are too soft, or others just simply don’t give a damn, but it never works.   My friend and I started the route relatively early each day and whilst it did seem like we beat the majori ..read more
