Ascent to Rifugio Vittorio Sella
After leaving Valnontey it took about three hours to climb up to the Rifugio Vittorio Sella.
The gradient was very leisurely, the route more of a walk than a climb.
It was late afternoon and most of the people on the path were coming down after a day's outing up to the rifugio.
The Rifugio Vittorio Sella catered for this summer trade, and in fact closed during the autumn (or at least it did in 1980).
