Gorgeous views, great runs and tons and tons of sunshine. The Italians really know how to do skiing. Here's a snapshot of a typical day:
8:30 - wander towards the gondola, stop en route for a morning espresso or cappuccino, and freshly baked (still warm) marmalada - a croissant filled with piping hot apricot marmalade to give you energy for the skiing ahead.
9:00 - gondola up the hill. Ski ski ski ski.
12:30 ish - stop for lunch. A proper sit down lunch involving pizza, pasta bolognese, penne Siciliana or a polenta with cheese and mushrooms....accompanied by a carafe of local wine, filled from the wine tap (I'm not kidding)! Followed by a dessert blueberry tart and A second round of espresso. Mmm
1:30 ish - take a breather on the patio in the sun to digest
2:00 ish - ski again, maybe with a little bit less zip than in the morning
4:30 ish - end the day with a glass of wine on a patio, or a cold beer after skiing down to the base.
7:00 ish - head to a local pizza joint in the basement of an old old stone building to have the most amazing pizza's, accompanied by burratta and Parma ham, delicious chillies in oil from Caprese, and of course, the local house wine.
12:00 - bed time & repeat the next day!
The italians - they definitely know how to ski.
