WHY THIS TRIP
The plateau that looks like the moon, at two thousand six hundred metres
The Pale di San Martino have something no other Dolomite group has: a summit plateau of fifty square kilometres at 2,600 metres, all cracked white rock without a blade of grass. You ride the Rosetta cable car up and walk across it for hours, feeling like you are on another planet.

Alta montagna: a 2.600 metri anche in agosto la notte va vicino allo zero e i temporali arrivano nel pomeriggio. Guscio, pile, guanti leggeri e partenze all'alba.

Eight kilometres among sinkholes and scree, without a tree or a blade of grass: it feels like walking on a glacier turned to stone.
