ex amined. £A mule-path over the Wormser- Joch,“called the Pass of Santo, Maria, or Wttrmser-Joch, leads from these build- • ings in 24 hrs., through interesting scenery, down to the Swiss village of Santa Maria in the Orisons (seep. 294). This was the great thoroughfare from Tyrol and Switzerland into the Valte- line before the Stelvio road was made. The Austrian government wished to purchase the Pass of Santa Maria, in order to carry their road through it, but the legislative assembly of the Ori sons

refused to accede to the proposal, and the Austrian engineers were in consequence compelled to conduct their road over heights previously scaled by none but the goatherd and chamois- hunter.] It takes between 4 and 5 hrs, to ascend from Bormio to Santa Maria, which is still 1000 ft., or 1 hr,, below the summit of the pass. For some dis tance the road looks down into the Miinsterthal on the 1. All verdure now ceases; a few scanty mosses alone tinge the bare and shattered slate-rocks, j The remainder

&LNTA CATARINA TO VAL DI SOLE. 369 APPENDIX C. ROÜTES FROM SANTA CATARINA TO VAL DI SOLE. The following notes of two routes from Santa Catarina to Val di Sole may be useful to good walkers who wish to avoid the long circuit by the Gavia and Tonale or the dull Passo dei Tre Signori. I. Santa Catarina to Pejo, by the Pizzo della Mare (Punta di San Matteo of Payer). The ascent of this peak from the Gavia Glacier is an easy but interesting walk, and the view on a clear day unsurpassed in extent

by the rocky slopes on the left; below this it is best to descend at once into the valley rather than to follow a tempting path leading along the hillside to the left, which comes to a sudden end in a wood. This route occupies nine hours, or only one more than the Passo dei Tre Signori. II. Santa Catarina to Rabbi by Monte Cevedale and the Vizzo della Venezia. From Santa -Catarina, Monte Cevedale may be ascended through Val Cedeh, in about six hours. To reach Rabbi, the following direc tions must

Few passes in the Alps command views equal to those of the central mass of the Orteler obtained between the In the ' Karte der Centralen Ortlergruppe * published under the authority of the German Alpine Club and to be seen at Santa Catarina, the route can be followed with sufficient accuracy.

The Gavia is hut a gloomy portal to the beauties of Santa Catarina. The summit is a wild desolate plain, not cheerful even in fine weather, and deadly enough in winter snowstorms. Three rude crosses under a rock mark the spot where as many peasants overtaken by storm sought shelter in vain, and where their bodies were found and buried. Further

on the path becomes a street of tombs—a ' Via Appia ' of the mountains. Cross succeeds cross, each carved with rude initials and date, varied here and there by a stone pjramid, in the recesses of which, in the place of the usual picture of a virgin or saint, you find a skull and a collection of bones, open to the air and bleached by long exposure. For riders this is the only escape south-eastwards from Santa Catarina ; but moderate walkers—ladies even, who do not inind snow—may find a better and

Your Tyrolean peasant, however, is not easily disabused of ancient errors, and the Lago Morto, I am told, notwithstanding that public rehabi- litation, enjoys its evil reputation to this day. At length, having thè Bosco del Consìglio always to the right, and thè Col

Vicentino with its scattered snow drifts towering to thè left, we gain thè summit of the ridge and see the lake of Santa Croce, looking won- derfully like thè lake of Albano, lying dose beneath our feet.

To catalogue the bath houses of the Orteler as Thackeray has inns, if Santa Catarina is the 1 cochon d'or,' Eabbi is the silver, and Pejo the black animal, and I scarcely know where to find a blacker. Besides, the scenery accessible to any but very good walkers is not of a high order ; the heads of the glens are wild and savage rather than beautiful, and their lower portions, though delightful to drive down for a mountaineer coming from the glaciers

, would scarcely repay a separate visit. From Santa Cata rina, Rabbi can only be reached by a long but most glorious march over the Monte Cevedale and Pizzo della Venezia ; 1 Pejo, over the Pizzo della Mare, is a comparatively short journey, and the traveller will do well to escape from its slovenliness and discomfort by driving on to the junction of Val dei Monti and the main valley and the clean country inn at Posine.
