Livigno

Finally, after a month, I can "get their hands on some photos I took on vacation. Leaving aside those relating to the week in which Periasc florealpolla described in a comprehensive way, I can concentrate on the first week of August passed to Livigno.

happy to leave the warm-wet-rotten-to-hate relationship of these parts (which this year has clearly thought that abound in July to August), at least for a week, we decided to relax in that of Livigno. Same region (Lombardy), different scenery (mountains) and a 4 hour drive to get there.
There are a thousand roads to get to Livigno. And all these times require more or less. But since we're on vacation, and since the first of four in the afternoon we have the apartment available, we decided to take it easy and go to Switzerland, where the roads are much better and there are less co ** ions that drive "around. Perhaps because in Switzerland seem to be rather picky and strict on enforcing their rules of the road, or perhaps from the air depends, from Heidi's kids that make you hello, or cheese. So to be contentious and I'm proud ... but lately it seems that instead of paying the toll exit, they should be giving you money because you have arrived safe and sound. The joke is not mine but I fully endorse.

He had not set foot in Livigno, and was chosen here because it can explode in Mauri "downhill at breakneck speed" with the bike. To me, to rest, a place or the other, provided that above 1500 meters and there's less people around you.

I do not remember so long ... yes, because Livingston is developed in length. To follow it on foot from side to side must trek, but it is all flat, there is a beautiful pedestrian traffic away from the car, next to the path.

And then there are excursions to do that my back can handle it well, without tearing the monstrous Aosta Valley, where from 1500 meters in five minutes and do another thousand meters of altitude, just like that. Everything is sweeter, no less arduous, but for me the most enjoyable, and without those trains that make you say for the days to follow, but who made me do. Unfortunately, there is a downside. Where there is a hiking path (I mean those who can not travel with tennis shoes ...), the other side, more often, especially if the goal is to make a hut where to eat, there is a path "highway", the favorite of families with the following: children (including wheelchair), dogs (strictly off the lead ... with the owners headless ... so is nature, no?), balloons, radio, towels and all the equipment from the beach. Why do not they go to sea, I say? Mah

meet them in our trip, made in the one full day with full sun (We Burn), but we willingly put because after the effort we are strafocati with the culinary delights of alp ... and then we rolled down the back. Eating in the sun to almost 2200 meters is not the best for two "vampires" like us, but everything was so good that it was worth it. The following
