One of the first things we learned in Coldigioco was that Italy has its superheros too. Sandro and Paula's son Max (at left) conquered crime every day, this day in the persona of Batman.

We stopped on a high ridge over the valley with the town of San Vittore in it to get a broad view of a mapping area.

Lunch at the refugio at Passo Valles.

If you were in doubt as to which way to go at the top of the pass, a helpful sign would show you the way. The numbers designate various trail routes.
