We waved goodbye at the amazing hosts of Capanna Buffalora and started climbing surrounded by beautiful forest colors in the morning light.

We were lucky to spot a group of majestic mountain goats, resting along the ridge of a mountain and staring at us from above.

The trail was steep and quite exposed for the whole stage, but so beautiful!

After enjoying a picknick break at Alp di Fora, we started our never ending descent towards the end of the trail…

… while descending towards the valley, the temperature rose, my legs were extremely tired, and my feet felt like burning.

As we arrived at the village of Santa Maria In Calanca, we headed straight to the bar, where we celebrated with a much needed victory beer!
