It&#8217;s a 15-minute walk from beautiful Lake Coldai. Its terrace offers panoramic views of the Dolomiti Bellunesi, and you can capture a gorgeous sunset light on Mt. Pelmo, only 50 meters away from the hut! Do you need any more reasons to stay here?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#48bda336\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> If Coldai is fully booked, your next option is Rifugio Tissi (2 hours walking from Coldai).

This was another one of my favourite days on Alta Via 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day starts with a quick jolt to Coldai saddle, then a short descent to the lake of the same name. It was still half frozen when we reached it on day 7 of our hike at the end of June. We also encountered a lot of snow in places (refer to photos below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7237\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7237\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7238\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7238\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7240\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7240\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-5-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-7-5.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you reach Rifugio Tissi&nbsp;(an excellent alternative for a stay if Coldai is booked out), you will have reached the highest point of day 7.

We intentionally skipped breakfast at Rifugio Pramperet and ordered a couple of sandwiches to go. We also settled our bill the night before, woke up at 5 AM, and with our bags already packed, we set off shortly after, just when it started to get light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did that because we decided to hike Alta Via 1 in 10 days and exit to La Pissa on day 10. This was quite a demanding day for us, with over 26 kilometres (16 miles) and 2000 meters (6500 feet) of elevation loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not in a rush, I highly recommend staying in the Pian de Fontana refuge first&nbsp;because this part of Alta Via 1 should be taken slowly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fantastic light conditions made the views between Rifugio Pramperet and Rifugio Pian de Fontana jaw-dropping while crossing the rugged Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

From the saddle, you will traverse along a trail below Cima de La Scala, with Monte Schiara rising to your right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-11-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7262\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-11-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-11-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-11-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Alta-Via-1-Day-11-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you reach a junction, the path splits, with clear signs for Rifugio Bianchet, the direction you will follow for the next hour. This is the last refuge on Alta Via 1. My dad and I stopped here for a more extended break and a celebratory beer, knowing that we would reach the end of the route in a couple of hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Rifugio Blanchet, you will follow a gravel road leading through the forest to the bus stop with a few clearings in between. The temperature kept rising as we walked further and continued dropping the elevation. We finished the hike at around 2 PM on June 27th in 40-degree (Celcius) heat. Talk about commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12650224099\"><span
