Un passo dal cielo, the Rai 1 series, is set in San Candido in South Tyrol and later in San Vito di Cadore in the Belluno Dolomites, but it was mostly filmed around Lago di Braies, Prato Piazza, Dobbiaco, Lago di Mosigo and Misurina.
This route follows the series from its South Tyrol seasons to its Cadore seasons, with eight places where scenes were set or shot. Where the sources only name a place, the pin marks the area.
At 11:30 a.m. on 29 May 1953 Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stood on the summit of Mount Everest, the first people confirmed to have done so. They were part of a British expedition led by Colonel John Hunt, which in the end amounted to over four hundred men, including twenty Sherpa guides and 362 porters.
The route follows that expedition from winter training in Wales through Kathmandu, Thyangboche, Base Camp, the Khumbu Icefall, the Western Cwm and the South Col to the summit, then to the telegraph runner's stop at Namche Bazaar. Pins above Base Camp mark the terrain, not the exact camps of 1953.
