Walk in the white snow of the Scales and Horn Lake Scaffaiolo.

a perfect day, although in reality it is very cold. The narrow road bordered by trees laden with snow creates an evocative atmosphere. Silence reigns. The sun still has not passed the ridge, but after half an hour of walking we reach the first tentative

rays of sunshine began to take power and gradually plan raise the temperature. The mountain has now turned into a picture show where the areas of shadow and light create a perfect balance. We started with the intention of reaching a large cross placed on "Point Sophia" Corno alle Scale. But now we realize that there will be a difficult task because a lot of snow and the traces are scarce. We reach, however, easily, the

Refuge Duca degli Abruzzi

and the small Lake Scaffaiolo. The show is great. The lake is frozen and two children. a dog and an adult are skating on its surface.

The view is breathtaking and thrilling. Leave the shelter, five copies of our book "Path 00 from the pass of Bocca Trabaria two saints" and delights us with a classic piece of cake soaked in a hot tea. The environment is welcoming, pleasant and refreshing. But now it is time to leave. We welcome the operator, shoes and crampons we start by tracing the trail left in the snow by previous hikers, and cuts across the Windshield Mount takes us to the edge of the ridge in the direction of the Corno alle Scale.

The snow fell during the night is not compact enough to support our weight. We then plan and with effort. Reached the pass of three terms, we climb to Monte Cornacchia and go down to Passo dello Strofinatoio.

Here we realize that there is no need to climb a tree. It was done too late, better to postpone. We decide to go down to the small

Refuge Sasseto following the slight trace left by a skier and as a result, we reach crossed the track in the morning, in short, will take us to the car.
