The Feast of Assumption in Ponte di Legno. Trip to Lombardy, Italy
This year I do not want to spend August holiday home will be the excessive heat, what will be, but I want to go a few days by burning Milan.
I propose to his daughter and her husband accepted the idea that course with enthusiasm. The problem 'Half ... .. so start brainstorming evening. We have many ideas and not very clear, just then we pass from Monte Rosa to Liguria stopping in Tuscany ...
Seeking nice facilities, but not too expensive, very difficult operation ... in the end I felt somewhat like I expected and has no place ... I thought, we are in Italy and the Assumption 'sacred!
Idea ... why do not we go to Ponte di Legno? We stop doing the Baths of Trescore (which affect us every year) during the morning and then continue to the goal. Siiiii we like! I start looking for a hotel and find a Garni "The bear's den."
Then, travel program: morning baths, then picnic at my pussy like that much and arrive at its destination without too much code.
We get to Ponte di Legno in the early afternoon without major code and not 'just because we are talking about August.
The Garni 'very nice and is outside the center. And 'near a river and there' a beautiful promenade, suitable for us little people used to walking.
Give us the room and really nice ... wow!
There are two bedrooms, one with a sofa that becomes one with bunk bed. Both have their own wardrobe, desk, TV and minibar. Obviously wood. The bathroom with shower and 'large and comfortable. Ah .... I forgot to tell you that costicchia 60 euros per person B & B, children free, but it deserves!
Let's go for a ride once in the center of Ponte di Legno, nice. My daughter has already spotted a couple of playgrounds and thus affects us here too! UFFA.
Let APT to ask some info and we organize ourselves for the evening. We opt to dine at the restaurant La Brasa, characteristic, but the food is not 'much.
Temperature and 'best, even for a chilly ... but like me I have long sleeves.
As promised my daughter the next morning after a hearty breakfast we head to Glacier Presena.
First cable car to the Passo del Tonale, that landscape and that scared ... ... but 'only the beginning!
We arrive at Passo Tonale and inform us that to take the second cable car, which leads us to, must trek a bit '.... We do not like .... Where is the subway ... ha ha ha!
Take the second cable car that takes us to 2600 m, began making chilly, there are lakes that are a wonder. The time is not 'forgiving ... Cloudy and limits the colors of the landscape. ... Shame!
And now .... I will ascend, ascend up to when I am only a distant memory!
We venture on the chair lift, a bit 'dated!
My husband 'terrified and my daughter is no joke. I decide to go with them, so they delete two at once. ... Ah ah ah.
I climb like a real Indiana Jones alone, I rig the camera and pretend to anything, but I have an overdose of adrenaline.
... .. Luuunghiiii arrived after 8 minutes of terror, we are rewarded by the view ... that show!
He bitterly cold and we are not equipped, we seem three idiots, we are not with sarongs and flip flops, but soon we miss. They all realized that we are not the "mountain" ... ah ah ah
However, when the sun is' "hello, hello" you can be in costume so our clothing was not so inappropriate ... .. denim jacket and tennis shoes!
We would have lunch at the refuge, but George is too cold, so after playing a bit 'snowball decide to repeat the experience adrenaline. Then lift and stop the pond "puciare 'feet and I can assure you and' an almost painful ... I'm so cold!
Gondolas to Step Presena, lunch and then trek to the gondola for Ponte di Legno. ... But why not make the subway!
In the afternoon we have to resign ourselves to the playground ... and as the sun smiles we enjoy it quietly and especially without moisture.
For dinner we recommend the restaurant in Vermilion Alpine province of Trento. Do not panic just a few km from Passo del Tonale, but the temperature changes dramatically up to 10 degrees! But this time we are equipped tie '!
The restaurant 'nice newly renovated family hotel. We eat really well, of course dishes such as dumplings, and polenta with venison ... I do not think there is the Wiener schnitzel or capons! All excellent, the availability of the owners and the price and 'average.
The next morning we make the last walk in the cool woods thinking ahead to 30 degrees at home. So how do the leg picnic, then stop at the spa Trescore and finally arriving in Milan hot!
Conclusion: Ponte di Legno and we 'liked the hotel very nice, good jelly, the last supper (?) Has raised the average, the splendid vistas ... .. 8 votes
