We had time for skiing only up to 11 a.m. on Sunday, Jan 13, 2013 – during the last day of Dynafit Press Event at Rifugio Fanes (2060 m). We had to leave from the Pederü parkplace to be quite soon back in Prague. Thus, it was enough to have less than half a day was enough for a skialpinism trip to Col Bechei de Sora (2794 m) just above Rifugio Fanes (2060 m). We started in the dark – whole hut was sleeping.

We got on our skis before 7 a.m. We reached fastly the pass (2172 m). Followingly, we traversed to relatively steep terrain, where the climb on the hard frozen surface was not the ideal one. We continued by steep traverses up to the plateau above rocky wall. We turned left and a short time after we took off skis and attached them to our backpacks. We reached the ridge on feet directly, then turn right and final part to the summit with quite big cross was just in the front of us.
The surface of the plateau was not flat and smooth (Click to

There was quite fresh wind on the summit, so we spent there just a short time. The summit book was missing as the box for the book was destroyed. Skiing down from the summit was quite nice – majority of the downhill was on the hard surface. My colleague and I skied down directly from the pass to Rifugio Fanes via quite steep terrain.

We said goodbye in the hut, and there was a long downhill waiting for us. The skiing down to Pederü was excellent, the only trouble was found in the final part just above the valley with quite a lot or small stones and rocks.
