Dolomites Autumn Drive 2021
One Dolomites Tour a year isn’t enough, so we did another one: the Dolomites Autumn Drive Friday This time Elisa didn’t her sun dance before, therefore we didn’t get any snow as opposed to the spring edition. If you haven’t read our last spring edition text you can find it here. We didn’t wait to let the Friday pass without action and offered a sunset…
Tour des Grandes Alpes
Living in the middle of the paradise of curves myself, right in the Dolomites, I have always underestimated the French Alps.

The first acceleration after the Lockdown
1,2,3… clear everyone. Only few hours after the governor’s announcement of the reopening of Trentino-Alto Adige, I found myself in the car, speeding along the empty streets.
