Since a rather easy day was ahead of us, we started hiking later than usual, at around 07:15.

As we were ascending, we couldn’t help but noticing a scenic allignment of the moon on top of a mountain… it was magical.

We heard a rumor that the Refuge de Ciottulu di I Mori had recently run out of water, so we decided to skip it and descend straight down the valley after reaching Bocca di Foggiale.

Because of the late start, we suffered from the heat and took many breaks during this stage, mostly at the natural pools in the valley.

We missed the deviation to the Cascades de Radule and realized it only when taking a break at the Bergerie de Radule (of course). We therefore decided to trace our steps back on the trail and visit the pools… oh it was worth the mental pain!

In the camping of Castel de Vergio, I had a hard time falling asleep, because I kept hearing the noise of wild pigs scouting for food between the tents…or was it all a dream?
