Nature is the most amazing painter...

POSTCARDS FROM THE ALPS

My beautiful mountains in their winter coat, after the first serious snowfall!

And this (also seen on the first photo) is the Rocciamelone, 3.538 m, a landmark with its well recognizable shape!

A WARM OASIS IN THE MOUNTAINS

There are many lovely mountain huts in the Alps. A mountain hut (also known as Alpine hut, mountain shelter or refuge) is a building located in the mountains intended to provide food and shelter to mountaineers, climbers and hikers. Some of them are located in remote areas and can only be reached by long hikes, and these are usually very basic, while others are more like Alpine lodges and they can be quite comfortable. I was at this lovely refuge at 1,350 m on Sunday, had toasts there, and the home made cake with nuts, almonds and chestnut cream was simply delicious!

Beautiful wooden interiors with a touch of the Himalayas...
