Friday, 28 August

• 4:30 pm: Meeting point at the cable car in Pozza to go up to Buffaure (2040 m)
• 4:50 pm: Once at the top, we admire the spectacular panorama and then backpacks on and off we go along the easy trail that leads us to the hut. Guided by our mountain guide, we will learn the names of the peaks and, if we are lucky, we might also spot some wild animals – elevation gain: 115 m
• 5:30 pm: We arrive at the Rifugio Baita Cuz. Shoes and backpacks off, and we settle in for the night: everyone will sleep together! Those who wish can walk up to Col de Valvacin to admire the spectacular 360° panorama over the Dolomites of the Val di Fassa
• 7:30 pm: Dinner time! After this beautiful walk we’ll surely be hungry… Stefano and Lucia will satisfy both adults and children with typical dishes
• 9:00 pm: Everyone under the duvet – tomorrow the day starts early!

• 7:00 am: Divided into small groups, we will try the activities at the mountain farm first-hand: from milking the cows, to brushing the animals, collecting the eggs and accompanying the cows to the pastures8:00 am: After so much work comes the well-deserved break, with a delicious breakfast at the mountain farm: milk, fruit juices, elderflower syrup, jams, homemade cakes and traditional desserts, fritters, eggs, butter, cheese, speck and other cured meats, freshly baked bread (the one we prepared together)… and much more!
• Around 10:00 / 10:30 am: We put our backpacks back on and set off together with the Accompagnatore di Media Montagna for the return hike, with the possibility, before going back down to the valley, to reach the panoramic point Sas de Pere da Fech (2142 m) – elevation gain: 270 m
