休斯高原（Alpe di Siusi）是多洛米堤（Dolomites）山區的高山草原，夏季可健行、騎單車、攀岩等，冬季可滑雪，看起來是當地人闔家皆宜的休閒勝地
以此作為首個健行路線，主要因為交通便利、路線難度低，想以悠閒的步調開啟旅程，同時欣賞阿爾卑斯山景；不過因為紮實的走了一整天，且未意料到全程艷陽高照，最後還是以快要脫水的身軀及長水泡的腳趾收場
Alpe di Siusi is an alpine meadow nestled in the Dolomites. In the summer, it offers activities like hiking, cycling, and rock climbing, while winter brings skiing opportunities. It is truly a family-friendly leisure resort for locals.
We chose this as our very first hiking route at Dolomites, mainly because of its convenient transportation and low difficulty. We wanted to start our journey at a leisurely pace while taking in the stunning Alpine scenery. However, as we hiked for the entire day and hadn’t anticipated the relentless sun, we still wrapped up the day with near-dehydrated bodies and blistered toes.
健行路線
有非常多條健行步道及纜車套票可選，我們選擇以下路線，僅購買11號纜車的來回票：
- 10:30 從Ortisei鎮上的纜車站「📍Seilbahnen St.Ulrich – Seiser Alm」搭11號纜車
- 抵達山頂纜車站「📍Telecabina Ortisei – Alpe di Siusi, upper station」
- 健行至「📍Compatsch」
- 健行至「📍Saltria」再原路折返，17:40 回到2.山頂纜車站，再搭11號纜車回1. 鎮上纜車站
事後覺得因為路線和景色變化不大，若時間有限，走到Compatsch即可折返回Ortisei，下午接著去刀鋒山（Seceda）的話剛剛好
Hiking Route
There are numerous hiking trails and cable car combo tickets to choose from. We decided on the following route and only purchased a round-trip ticket for Cable Car No. 11:
1. 10:30 – Take Cable Car No. 11 from ‘📍 Seilbahnen St.Ulrich – Seiser Alm’
2. Arrive at ‘Telecabina Ortisei – Alpe di Siusi, upper station’
3. Hike to ‘📍 Compatsch’
4. Hike to ‘📍 Saltria’, then retrace our steps back. 17:40 – Return to 2. the mountain station, and take Cable Car No. 11 back to 1. the valley station in Ortisei.
Looking back, since the route and scenery don’t change much, if you’re short on time, you can just hike to Compatsch and head back to Ortisei. That would leave you with the perfect amount of time to visit Seceda in the afternoon.

注意事項
❗️途中遮蔽物少，夏天必備物理防曬及水分補給
❗️無陡坡，但多細石路段，建議穿著至少基礎的硬底登山鞋
❗️山屋不少，可事先查好用餐及如廁地點
Important Tips
❗️ Minimal shade along the way. Physical sun protection (hats, long sleeves) and plenty of water are absolute must-haves in the summer.
❗️ No steep inclines, but lots of fine gravel sections. It is highly recommended to wear at least basic hiking boots.
❗️ Plenty of mountain huts (Rifugios) available. It’s a good idea to check dining and restroom spots in advance.

此時還覺得晴空萬里的天氣非常宜人
Starting our hike from the mountain station. At this point, we still thought the clear, cloudless weather was incredibly pleasant.
岩石山脈、綿延的綠色小丘
與穿梭其中的針葉林

就沒有找山屋吃午餐
Packed our favorite sandwiches loaded with prosciutto and cheese beforehand, so we didn’t look for a mountain hut for lunch.
(The sandwich features two types of supermarket-bought prosciutto and cheese!)
Guessing this is looking towards the Sassolungo group.
It had been so long since last soaked up the sun, I was exceptionally happy!
已經來不及了
It was only later, when I noticed a mild sunburn and finally put on sun protection, that I realized it was too late.
找到絕景餐廳補給
Right when our drinking water ran out, we found a restaurant with a spectacular view to restock
📍Rauchhütte
氣泡蘋果汁（fizzy apple juice）算冰涼
蘋果汁則幾乎常溫
後來忍不住向服務生要了一杯冰塊
People here don’t seem to drink very cold beverages no matter how hot it gets. The fizzy apple juice was somewhat chilled, but the regular apple juice was room temperature. I couldn’t help but ask the waiter for a cup of ice.
一小時四十分的路程中已經熱得完全不想拍照
Power-walking at top speed from Saltria back to the mountain station. During the 1-hour-and-40-minute trek, it was so hot that I have no desire to take photos.
