Compared to the first days, this last leg is again a little easier. There isn’t too much altitude differential to cover in ascent, but the total amount of distance to cover in descent is long—the same length of the ascent has to be covered again. Today, you can also relax a bit before starting off, provided that the weather is okay. Here in the cold Alta Val Venosta (Obervinschgau), the sun can’t slow hikers down too much.
