After an initial flat section we quickly began climbing up for 2 and a half hours to the Porta Sora al Forn. It was a brief downhill to a Refuge the Biella where many people stop for the night. we decided based on our Itinerary to go one hour further.
Refugio Biella where we got a Coke and a smile. all those white "dots" down there? - Sheep!
After another one hour we walked mostly over rolling terrain to the refugio Sennes. We had a private room and bathroom. We dropped our packs took off our boots and had a beer! Later that evening we enjoyed the full Italian meal pasta etc. etc. with a bottle of the local wine.

Good site...did you do the full alta via 1? How many days did it take you? Based on my limited research, some of the days seem pretty short; so I was wondering if it is possible to do it in a shorter time frame than the 10-12 days I see.
