sellaronda = dolomiti superski, IT

my dears, wanna enjoy aka compare my last year's green direction around the sella massiv mostly in a full fog first? really? okay, lets jump here. 🏂💚🌋⛄

~~~

this year was my dolomiti superski experience (is it how they call it?) accompanied by a nice sunny weather all day and i've choosen the orange round. unfortunately, i've really messed up my no #1 goal for today, the marmolada part at arabba. why? it was sooo strange, i'm going to call it karma! well, i was so confident i will see the cable car up to marmolada i remember from my green round a year ago, that i didnt look up a route plan all day long. now i see there are obvoiusly 2 different ways for the orange route at arabba and just one of them intersects the marmolada massif with opportunity to stay an hour or two there. btw, confucius tells, the road ist the goal, doesnt he? anyway, there are TWO THOUGHTS abt that issue in my mind right now:

1. marmolada & me will most likely develop a similar relationship like ararat to the russian czar😇
2. the more i look up the marmolada pictures on the internet, the more i feel i've mixed up the 'marmolada screenshot in my mind' from my 1st visit at seiser alm with some other distinctive dark_stone + white_snow dolomity rocks, most likely with the rosengarten group. this DOES NOT MEAN i'm not going to visit marmolada (+ cortina d'ampezzo) on my next occasion here in südtirol, which is already planned for august 2025. you see?

lets construct an italian 'spaghetti sentence'. will we? well, before i'll show ya the pictures from the village of natz (our favorite stay here is currently the airbnb's klementhof where we have a nice living room + kitchen + this time even 2 bed rooms, one of them still unused) and pictures from  sellearonda, lets whine a little bit how difficult it was to pick-up my online purchased ski pass and to find a parking place for the day in wolkenstein (selva gardena) in grödnertal valley on sunday. please dont allow me to start complaining about the overexpensive and just lukewarm goulash soup for 16 EUR at the 44 piz sella ski lift restaurant at passo sella (grödnerjoch) at 2239m, will you?
