An ‘Alpine start’ is a wonderful thing. Not that it feels that way when the alarm commands my companion and me to tear ourselves from our hotel beds at 2.30am, shoulder our packs and exit into the silent streets of Santa Caterina di Valfurva, a village in northern Italy’s Ortler Alps. It’s only many hours later, after a ride in a ramshackle 4WD and a long uphill trudge behind our guide — moonlit snow shining beneath our feet — that we’re greeted by a mountain sunrise so spectacular that it makes it all worthwhile.
