Day 4 - Day tour from Branca hut, Tresero or Palon de la Mare

Click on pins and lines for lables.

 

An amazing feature at the toe of the Forni glacier, we can't resist exploring it a bit.

 

Palon de la Mare becomes enshrouded in clouds as we sking back up the Forni glacier once more.

 

This time we are headed for Pizzo Tresero.

 

Wind-swept slopes near the summit of Pizzo Tresero.

 

Almost to the top of Tresero, looking down the steep south side. Punta Pedranzini behind.

 

A lovely homage on top of Tresero.

 

Finding freshies on the descent.

 

Looks like we have it to ourselves this time!

 

Heading up towards Palon de la Mare, another possible objective from the Branca hut.

 

An international welcome at the Branca, and generous evening sunshine.
