Road trip in Europe 2017. Falzarego Pass. Italy.
He's a Mountain Eagle. Tourists go high in the mountains with him.
When there was about twenty minutes drive to Cortina di Ampezzo, after a long climb uphill, I unexpectedly left for the Falzarego pass (2117 meters). The road is narrow, who knows what is on the mind of the oncoming driver? Maybe he is an Italian admirer of Mara Bagdasaryan, a participant in the scandalous Gelendvagen race in Moscow, so he was driving at a speed of 60-70 km. I was overtaken with a whistle and a roar by motorcyclists who travel around Europe in search of adventure on their own... From the roar of motorcycles, the locals say that the chickens have stopped laying. It is a pity that there are sanctions between Italy and Russia, otherwise we would supply them chicken eggs from our poultry farm from Novorossiysk. I continue to admire cyclists. I, what, pressed the gas and drove off, and they keep pedaling all the time to call on the next pass.
Also, one of the episodes of motocross in the movie "Point Break" was filmed at this pass. I've watched this movie several times already. Very captivating.
The Falzarego Pass turned out to be very noisy, due to hundreds of bikers. At first I thought I saw aliens. All in black, moto black. Emblems of skulls on scary helmets. Jackets are painted, like our Zverev. True, he does not need to wear a helmet, he will scare anyone without it. Many have beer bellies below their knees. Her hair is tousled, apparently not washed for a long time. They talk very loudly. Some roadside eateries try to close for the duration of the bikers, otherwise they can destroy the establishment if they don’t like it.
This photo is not mine. For comparison, what kind of winter.
I tried to get on the cable car faster in order to soar up to the mountain peak. I paid 12 euros for the ascent and descent with one transfer. I forgot to dress warmly again. All the tourists looked at me with surprise. It's good that I have a red cap with the emblem of England, so they apparently called an Englishman a fool, but not a Russian. On the second site, the height is 2792 meters. Clouds rolled in, then dissolved. Sea of impressions. The beauty of the Dolomites fascinated me. Temperature + 7. Wind. He was, had seen enough, froze, and dived into the cabin of the lift. The heat is + 28 below. Now I will definitely reach Cortina di Ampezzo
Pass.
Pass.
The photo is not mine. For comparison, the same view, only in winter.
Strong wind and very cold. I didn't have any other clothes.
Local wine.
It's good to travel in a motorhome.
