Hike Day 8: Cortina to Rifugio Faloria

Our next hut was at the top of a lift! Unfortunately the lift was closed due to "administrative issues" but they offered us a Jeep ride later in the day. We bumped our way up a 3000 foot gravel road in a 4-wheel-drive adventure. One of the locations for the Sylvester Stallone film "Cliffhanger" was a short hike away and the building that stood in for a Colorado mine truly hangs on the cliff. I am not recommending the film but the location scout deserves an Oscar.

  1. Looks like you are literally on Cloud Nine. Another peak experience! I think the film’s crew also deserve an Oscar for hauling all their equipment up there!
