| March 11, 2011, in the silence of Lake |
summer, the hut that three-quarters of a century is situated on the banks of Lake Aial, the median of the three lakes of the Valley Federation, is a convenient destination, sunny and very busy. We go up there quite often, taking advantage of the possibilities that all converge to the lake from Campo di Sotto, from Mortisa, the dam of Count chow, or finally, and the solution is less traveled, the road through the village down Giau called "Ra Sapada. In winter the first time I went there years ago with friends, with the intention to browse through the "Cuaire," the rock crevices hidden by woods that start in the immediate vicinity of the lake and had already visited 800. At the door entrance of the refuge, then closed, a "summit book" invites visitors to leave their mark. A few years ago, managers were provided with a small groomer, with which the free stretch of road which branches off from that direct the Croda da Lago and allow all'Aial up with snow. The experience is interesting, the hike is not very long, takes place in a lonely, quiet and well worth the try. The rifugetto could not accommodate the crowds of day trippers on skis, snowshoes or on foot to invade other structures in the winter, so there is parking in peace. These days the mirror of the lake ice is slowly melting and the ground already feels a bit 'of spring and, even if the sides are white and the road salt and snow is still a bit' slippery the season progresses. The site will not be a popular base for climbing or hiking kilometer stage, but there you go willingly to get closer to the vast forests of Fedora, rich in nature and legends.
