De wandeling via de weg naar Rifugio Auronzo gedaan aangezien de tolweg in April nog dicht is. Pittige klim waar wij een krappe 2 uur over deden. Hoe hoger je komt hoe meer sneeuw je op de paden hebt. Er was een sneeuwschuiver bezig de weg vrij te maken van sneeuw. Hutten en toiletten zijn dicht. Naar beneden namen wij regelmatig paadjes i.p.v. de weg.
