It rained all night at Piana del Valasco and in the morning too. I decided to go down in the car with Flavio, the boss of rifugio Valasco, instead of walking. Down at Terme di Valdieri Maurizio was waiting for me, he has joined me for the weekend. Considering the weather we quickly abandoned plans to go to rifugio Genova and from there to San Giacomo, which would have been nice, but not in rain, fog and the cold. We opted for a comfort weekend at Grongios Matre and possibly a nice short trek if the weather improved.
