Mountains and History in SEXTEN DOLOMITES

Hey! Welcome to another video. In this episode, I hiked/climber for more than 5 hours to reach a peak I have dreamed to explore for many years: Cresta Zsigmondy!
It's located between Monte Popera and Cima Undici (Elferkofel), and it's a place full of INCREDIBLE history from WW1.
Even though I didn't have the chance to admire Cima Undici free of clouds, I still had some spectacular conditions, perfect for my drone footage.
I couldn't leave this place without telling you the story of the Italian Alpine Troops called "Mascabroni".
NOTE: I'm agains every kind of war, so I am not fascinated by the fight itself.
It's the exact opposite.
What I am mostly concerned about is the human tragedy of thousands of young guys (both Italians and Austrians) who had to struggle against incredible sufferings to fight a useless war.
On the way back, I followed the spectacular via Ferrata "Strada degli Alpini". It's a very easy via ferrata (I didn't have any problem to follow it without harness), but the views are simply incredible.

The English word for the rock piles is "cairns", actually a Gaelic word from the ancient Scottish language.

I'm late to the party. Two years too late actually. Been binge watching your videos every other weekend. I can't get enough of your mini-documentaries. Yes, that's what I call these videos. They foretell incredible stories and the cinematography is just spectacular. What makes you unique is your unique combination of story telling, real time capture of hiking and the drone footage to give a bigger perspective. No one does it like you on KZbin. What also blew my mind in this video is how you made the vertical climb on the wall look so easy. I could never!! That takes a lot of courage. Props to you Bruno.Great stuff and enjoyed the little bit of history lesson at the end.

[@tomcruft7983]

Same I found the channel a couple weeks ago and have Been watching videos every night. Such an underrated KZbinr.

[@varun10823]

@@tomcruft7983 glad I’m not the only one. Cheers mate

[@twodogstudio2]

Going up looked scary, going down looked terrifying

[@francogasparotti3052]

Bravo Paisano. I'm taking an expedition to trek the 120km Dolomites Circular Route in 2023 whilst also exploring the war tunnels from the WW1 conflict. I lost my brother Oscar last year aged 59 due to an unseen illness and this will be in his memory and that of my late Mother Angela Maria. Your video is spectacular and shows the true beauty of the Italian mountains and landscapes and I feel this venture will bring me close to them both. Thank you for posting your amazing videos and keep up the fantastic work you are doing and stay safe. Tanti Saluti

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

❤️

[@starlightgirl1695]

Great video as always and such an interesting history! We love seeing what you eat too- crazy hiking food in a bag😂

[@jsr9703]

Beautiful landscapes. Great work! It looks amazing

[@JohnRome-xn7hx]

I can stay for days in awe of Sexten Dolomites... ❤

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

This reminds me of my, much easier, hike to Lago Brutto (named so for the brutalities of the war, it's quite a pretty lake). It was crazy to think people fought a war at that altitude. It must have been awful there.

[@geraldinehadiwidjaja7421]

Another AMAZING video, Bruno. Just incredible photography and drone shots. Also interesting history. Thank you again for sharing 😊

[@SteveAHaigh]

Fantastic video, even without the great view it was stunning Bruno. That climb looked pretty serious!

[@dundrumleith]

Grazie tanto per i tuoi films; sono bellissimi.

[@skirolf]

Thanks for your very best videos on KZbin! Did croda Rossa di sesto and passo di sentinella on Saturday. Just unbelievable! One of the most spectacular mountain in Italy/Alpes

[@extremelydave]

Bruno, you are a crazy man. The way the rocks break on those cliff faces, one wrong move and we have no more of your TOTALLY AWESOME videos.. you have such spectacular videos!!!! Makes me wish I had taken the time to hike them when I was in Europe. At least I have you to show me the Dolomites!!! Thanks for another great video.

[@WJMPhotography]

Thank you for the background info on this area. Your drone footage, as always, is EPIC. Thank you for your efforts!

[@Gullyrats]

AWESOME video, Much Appreciated viewing from Oz, Thank You, Brave doing it solo, GREAT place to fly Drones. I only got to hike 52 Tunnels galleries in Dolomites. Ohh to reminisce.

[@johnhaakman3196]

Excellent video, good music too, I was there last year, and did some of the same kind of hiking, but your videos, really open up other possibilities, especially doing overnight camping on the Summit, too bad the weather did'nt co-operate, but as you say you'll be back. Keep up the great work.

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Thanks 👍

[@MauroCattelani]

Ciao Bruno, scusa se commento in italiano. Giro spettacolare! Non sai quanto ho sognato anche io di arrivare alla scala nel cielo e godere di quella vista su cima Undici! Temo però che la parete De Zolt sia un pelo troppo per me. Peccato per il meteo. Hai un gran fegato a piantare la tenda e dormire lì. Io avrei paura di una sola cosa...un temporale in quota! Sei un grande! Ciaooo

[@haywoodf]

Ciao Mauro, nessun problema se ti scrivere in italiano. Dopotutto, le maestose Dolomiti sono in Italia e la vostre impressione in Italiano sempre aggiunger qualche cosa vero in puì. E anche Italia are the Euro 2020 champions :-) and Home = Rome! I have to agree with you that Bruno, although always modest, has got some big balls, climbing whilst videoing, commenting and pitching tent at the peak like its just in the back yard. Veramente bravo.

[@rubiracing6637]

Hey Bruno, amazing work thank you.

[@steveeb9567]

Spectacular ! Bruno please don't use fixed ropes, they may be cut by rockfall ! Best of luck with your photo tours.

[@jamespozin]

We call the rock plies Cairns. When I walk by those I place a rock as close to the top as an offering to the mountain and fellow hikers for good fortune and safe travels.

[@mikedavey8921]

Great video as always Bruno, thankyou for sharing! As Mike Page said, Cairn is the English word for a pile of stones marking a route/summit etc

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

thank you for the info!

[@Giorgio.Musino]

I envy everything exept the dinner, your video report are always amazing :)

[@abhimanyuchatterjee9291]

Thanks Bruno for this spectacular video , it is always a pleasure to watch your adventures.

[@alexdona]

Gran bel video! 🔝 E gran bella avventura. Anche con la nebbia hai fatto delle gran belle riprese, forse anche più uniche e particolari. Non ti conoscevo, ora mi son iscritto e non mi perderò nemmeno un tuo video!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Grande, grazie!!

[@Permitmon]

Bravo! Fantastic footage, well done. Thanks.

[@chiaragiordano]

Fantastico! Clip super emozionanti! Tra l'altro mesi fa mi sono innamorata di Cima 11 e della sua storia. C'è un documentario bellissimo su You tube!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Visto!!

[@lolaponce726]

Grande Bruno, spettacolare davvero 😊 grazie per essere finalmente venuto sulle nostre Dolomiti, peccato davvero che la vista verso Cima Undici e la Val Comelico fosse celata dalla nebbia; ti prego di tornare, la visibilità che i tuoi video possono dare a zone non cosi conosciute come la nostra sono davvero importanti; ti ringrazio ancora ❤️ come sempre complimenti 👍

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Senza dubbio ci tornerò!

[@sugarkym]

That was way cool, Bruno, Thank you and I am looking forward to more...I love the Dolomites and the history.

[@borislavpetkov9280]

Thank you for this review.

[@huangyir]

Breathless beauty! Thank you Bruno for bringing this to us!

[@jannettevanderboonphotography]

So happy you're back with these amazing videos, missed them!

[@rochipel]

Ciao Bruno... Le dolomiti di sesto sono la mia seconda casa, aspettavo un video su di loro... Sapevo l avresti fatto prima o poi... Emozioni grandissime per me, mi ci sono affezionato fin dalla prima volta che le ho viste... Ti entrano dentro per sempre e non le lasci mai più... Bravissimo e grazie

[@MrKevreg]

Thanks for taking us along

[@SuperDjic]

In French we call the rock piles ''cairns'' as well 😁 Thank you for this new beautiful video and images. I hope to visit the Dolomites soon... Greetings from French Alps, Savoie 😉

[@emiliobrunelli6757]

La più BELLA escursione che ci hai raccontato finora ed incluso il contesto storico...BRAVISSIMO ! Certo che in generali Italiani di quel conflitto... Proprio avveduti...

Amazing work again Bruno, thanks for all the inspiration

[@JustBrowsing777]

Love the video, thanks for sharing Bruno. Amazing adventures you bring us on and top notch quality as always.

[@macroi188]

Ben tornato! Questi ultimi tre video (5 cime, 3 anelli, cima ombretta) sono già di per se una una goduria, ma questo delle Dolomiti di Sesto è veramente straordinario, stupendo , tra i tuoi video secondo solo a quello del Pelmo. Grazie per la gioia che mi procuri, te ne sarò grato per sempre. In bocca al lupo per nuove e più sensazionali avventure.

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Grazie mille! 😍 Concordo, uno dei giri più spettacolari di sempre. Ci tornerò!

OMG, what a beautiful place on earth. Many, many thanks for letting us take part in your adventures on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to the next video !! Greetings from Germany 👍

[@hikingzenaphotos5110]

Complimenti Bruno! video e paesaggi sempre spettacolari! Mai deluso! GREAT!

[@AlpineFeet]

Amazing! 👏🏼 your drone shots are brilliant, one of the best I have seen on youtube. 🙌🏼

[@fabiocrosilla]

Bravissimo Pisani, grazie🖐😁

[@sexykodo]

Great content Bruno! Complimenti!

[@nedkelly2677]

See you in the next video.Great footage ,magic scenery thaak for sharing.

[@adrianbell4597]

Excellent as usual Bruno. Sorry the weather let you down, but being amongst the mountains is what matters. I can't wait to get back to your part of the world, but in the meantime your video output is great therapy.

[@MattCSLnut]

Spectacular indeed 👌🏼 you’ve done it again Bruno 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Gracie Mille for sharing 👍🏼

[@stevehorner8302]

wow mega views. love the dolomites

[@claravonessen5673]

Another stunning video. The part you climbed that wall (and went down), wow, not easy at all! Although the weather was not the best, to be able to touch the clouds and see those views with your drone made it magical for us! Don't forget to bring your propane tank next time! ;)

[@bivboy10]

Amazing pal 👍 and a beautiful story 🙌

[@HighWealder]

Awesome

[@davewilson9139]

Thanks so much for sharing Bruno, you always do an amazing job in all your videos! When I lived in Northern Italy for 4 years, I always loved the amazing people, tasty cuisine, and really appreciated hiking, climbing, camping, and skiing in the beautiful Dolomite Mountains!

[@anykterio2244]

Another epic video! Those rocky walls seems to be pretty dangerous to climb with all the loose rocks and no harness. You are really good at it, a little too dangerous for me!! your channel is going to explode, your content is amazing!

[@Pshady]

Would love to visit that region, looks spectacular

[@texfromro]

I thought I was recognizing the name of the peak. Been under it with my bike starting from Candide towards Sexten , and then back on the other side of the valley on the so called"Humility Passage" ☺️

[@drennan60]

Absolutely beautiful 👌👌👌

[@ukaszk6109]

Woow amazing!

[@sergioreclamo3695]

Gran bel video Bruno. Mai disperare quando la nebbia ti avvolge, soprattutto quando si ha un drone che può "bucare" tra i cumuli di umidità, lasciandoci vedere immagini piene di mistero! Complimenti anche per la tenacia e la grande passione, che ti spinge a faticare molto, anche quando si è circondati da incertezza. Ciao!!

[@garcesbizama]

Great job Bruno 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@giacintapanacchia1557]

Solamente grazie per tutte le emozioni che ogni volta mi fai vivere...

[@gabrielecarpani4110]

Complimenti Bruno Per la maestria nelle riprese ma soprattutto per l'attitudine che hai mostrato nell'affrontare imprevisti tecnici e atmosferici Alla fine la bellezza del sentiero degli alpini ti ha ripagato dalla nebbia trovata in vetta ;) Grande!

[@paulcharlesworth9114]

Amazing video Bruno and what an adventure. At least that view made up for the cold dinner. Many thanks. BTW the piles of stones are called 'cairns' in English. Where they mark the route, they are called 'trail cairns' and where they mark the top of the hill or mountain 'summit cairns'.

[@over60nolimits]

You do a great 👍 job .

[@tuttimorti]

Le riprese con il drone sono una cosa pazzesca 🤩🤩🤩

[@petr-podrouzek]

Amazing, good job Bruno :-)

[@tomgavlas-alpinetrails8143]

stunning shots!!!! great story!!! subscribed...🏔✌🏻

[@ege82]

Frankly, you just came across it on youtube. I'm watching your adventures with great pleasure Bruno👏😊✌ There's something I'm wondering about; how much does the backpack weigh on your trips and how do you handle the charging of the batteries?

[@altemontagne]

Ciao Bruno sei sempre emozionante, sei in gamba veramente

[@Matwiej19]

I watched like 15 seconds and already pressed like. As usual man cool video.

[@sintj]

Sei un grande, poco da fare.

[@DavideMenonchannel]

Grande Bruno!!

[@STUDIOApiuD]

bello!

[@willkriel-hartley1156]

Wonderful, as always, Bruno! Looks awesome scenery. A shame about the dog, it looks like the journey back down made up for it.

[@nicolalionello4421]

Bravissimo! Niente male quella parete quasi verticale! :-)

[@MWielgat]

Very nice advanture :)

Keep climbing bruno 👍🏻

Al minuto 17:46 un immagine colossale! Super

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

grazie mille!!

[@fredericodiaspaulinodacost1332]

Amazing work, I really enjoy your vídeos! Btw, your jetboil isn't (probably) broken nor the gas canister is faulty, it is just the ignitor, the tiny wire close to the middle of the stove, that is bent too far away from the surface.. just push it slightly towards the stove until you can see the spark again. And avoid leaving the gas open without igniting inside the ⛺ 😨. Safe travels buddy and keep up the good content!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Actually I'm pretty sure it's because I was leaving too much moisture in it, I was just putting all the stuff inside the stove before it was completely dry. Now I'm waiting for everything to dry up and it's working fine as usual!

[@netureeyetenzin]

Incrarebale hiek to Dolomite. Like to go there.

[@Tapshanov]

I dont understand why ppl are disliking these kind of vids. I really dont. Amazing adventure Bruno

[@dolomiteyoury1657]

Complimenti fai dei video bellissimi, é sempre un piacere vederli e ne aspetto con ansia molti altri, spero di trovarti in giro una volta....ciao Bruno ✌

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Prima o poi 😛👍🏻

[@lucasaraujo947]

First of all, congratulations! Your videos are amazing! Is this fixed rope on parete de zolt reliable for body weighting?

[@danieledilonardo4255]

Cosa gli vuoi dire a questo ragazzo???, solo applausi mai banale e standardizzato,musiche e riprese fantastiche ma soprattutto determinazione da vendere 👏🏻

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Grazie mille 😉
