Sunday 26, along with Isabella, her mother and all our animal tribe, I went to Livigno, target chosen for our Christmas holidays.
After the wonderful experience in this valley this summer, we decided to see the winter side of this village really great. The cold is sharp and you knew this but as we hear often, is a cold completely different from what we are accustomed, or perhaps just below tot degrees Celsius, the temperature changes are not perceived as easily: Cold is cold enough. Weather aside, the landscape is really fabulous. The mountains and the roofs of the houses are completely covered with snow a real show.
Our days holiday that could not be a full-immersion sports and from Sunday to today, so it was.
The first night, despite the darkness and -18 ° C Isabella and I have wanted to challenge ourselves and the climate, after a walk and a quick shopping at the supermarket, we went out to run the dark with our little light on his head. Really exciting experience: during our run the condensate was all ice on our eyelashes and the collar that I had to repair the gorge was too icy ... That's cool though!
The experience was not the best, indeed. Surely with a little 'practice and training I could get to make out where I have fun but also taking the opportunity, a once back home, to continue and improve I'm not going to continue in this single week. For this reason, today's new ride!
Running on groomed snow really workout, then if the path is also wavy, even better!
parties from cycling, and Isabella I, we came across a dirt track dedicated to winter hiking. Really good workout and stretches of uphill made it particularly difficult, despite the rather slow pace.
Tomorrow we plan to try to go snowshoeing in a bit 'in the woods, hoping that the legs after yesterday and today do not cry revenge! In short, here more than relax, you train even more but then again, that's what we like to do! :)
